    And has easy access to guns never caused problems? Possibly more problems than they’ve solved?

    My problem isn’t with people deterring potential attackers or fighting off actual attackers. My concern is with the potential for misuse, and the fact that labeling this as some innocent means of self-defense is covering up the fact that it wouldn’t be limited to being used exclusively by victims. That’s just marketing. Any psycho could buy one of these.

      Yup. That’s the available option.

      Maybe we should try to address the issues with the longstanding preservation of rape culture. When that never happens, though, this is what we are left with. You’re mad at the pen, you should be mad at the person who threw the pen.

        You are mad at men, just like racists are mad at immigrants. There is literally no difference in your worldviews, only the targets.
