Canadian 'Minister of Women' Opposes Self Defense... Because It's Sexist?!
Here we have a story about women's self defense and "sexism." You probably think this story involves feminism, don't you? Sexist. Turns out you're right - in Canada, women are currently banned from carrying pepper spray for self defense. It's a law that many want to see changed. But not feminists, apparently...
Since 1995, Canada has prohibited the use of mace and pepper spray—a law that Conservative MP Kellie Leitch, who is a candidate for party leadership, wants to change if she becomes prime minister. Allowing mace and pepper spray, Leitch said, would “give women a greater measure of protection against would-be attackers.”
But Leitch’s proposal met opposition from Patty Hajdu, the status of women minister, who claimed that letting women carry pepper spray would actually further gender inequality.“Her misguided approach places the onus on women to defend themselves rather than focusing on addressing and preventing gender-based violence,” Hajdu said in a statement.
Her reasoning? If we just stop teaching bad people to be bad people, no women would have to defend themselves. And in other news, if there wasn't an electoral college, Hillary would be President. Ah, the woes of a feminist living in a patriarchal world...
By now, feminism has shown its true colors as a steaming pile of wrong. Their claim about "empowering women"? It's so clearly fraudulent that no one believes them anymore (see Comedy Legend Schools Idiot Lena Dunham: "I Don't Believe in 'Feminism'"). In this case, a feminist hag is literally attempting to steal tools of empowerment and independence from women.
These same feminists hypocrites who condemn "rape culture" want to strip women of any basic ability to defend themselves. Which, say, sounds a lot like rape culture...
Feminists claim to champion women's rights... Just not when it comes to this issue. It would appear that social justice warriors give precisely zero turds about a woman's right to defend herself.
"The great equalizer" isn't a birth control pill. It's a revolver in hand of an otherwise would be rape-victim. But to be fair, perhaps feminists are accustomed to not needing self defense. After all, who's going to challenge a neon pink-armpitted behemoth with crazy eyes? Certainly not I.
