Lots of speak here is banter and tongue & cheek , lots or all the men that made mockery would risk their lives saving a woman from such attacks ,so when we make do it it is not meant in the way you had taken it .
With the other side the anti's don't make it easy to not do such mockery when they want us defenseless and subjected to death or injury because they want to take our right to defend our families .
It makes no sense a woman that has suffered rape or a brutal assault would not want to defend herself from another attack .
I just don't get it .
also I am not a respected member here so I am game ..
You're mistaken if you think you're not respected, brother. Nothing could be further from the truth.
And regarding the bold above, what's worse is any candidate who is opposed to self defense through any means necessary is not only making it harder to defend herself (which is her right), but by extension her anti-gun policies will continue to deny that right to every other woman who might have been able to prevent it in the future. That is inexcusable.
The current licensing scheme in Marylandistan is proof that the powers that be think it is preferable for innocent citizens to be victims of otherwise preventable violent crime, women to be raped, and defenseless law abiding people to be murdered without the means of a concealed carry permit so they could defend themselves.
Anybody who supports that policy is deserving of our contempt.
