This article is about a Pakistani woman who was ordered to be gang raped as punishment for the "alleged" crime of her 12 year old brother. I have no words to describe how angry I am about this horrendous crime. And how grief stricken I am for her. Or how proud I am of her bravery in the face of the society she defied. Mai Mukhtar is a remarkable woman.
American women could do well to follow her example of courage and heart. Copy and paste the following link into your search bar to read about this woman...

For American women who still believe we are completely under the thumbs of American men, this article is for you. Wake up and smell the coffee. After all, we all know this kind of depravity cannot happen here. At least, not yet...
A University in Colorado, recommends to women who are about to be raped, they should vomit, urinate, tell the attacker they are menstruating or have a disease, to STOP the attack. This Pakistani woman had no way to protect herself from this incredibly vile attack. Do any of us honestly believe having this woman urinate, vomit, or tell these men she was diseased or menstruating, would have stopped this rape from occurring? Of course not. She was defenseless in the hands of this tribal councils judgement.
The Brady Organization, a group dedicated to eradicating the second amendment, allegedly posted an advertisement on the web that claims, "rape only last 30 seconds, but murder lasts a lifetime." Suggesting that if a woman dared to shoot her rapist, she was guilty of murder and not self defense and therefore, since a rape only lasts 30 seconds. I took this to mean she should just lay there quietly and "deal" with it since it was only 30 seconds out of her life...You would think a man came up with this idea. I don't know. The ad was removed and the Brady organization denied posting it.
These are liberal organizations and colleges. The liberal progressive mindset seems to have decided that rape is 'acceptable' over defending your self with deadly force against a rapist. What in the hell is going on in this country? Women have made huge strides in the quest for equality in this country. In my lifetime, I have seem dramatic changes in the way women are treated, paid and accepted into society as true beings.
We have been "legally" granted the right to control our bodies and minds. We are no longer "chattel," but are considered to be living being sentient beings with the capabilities to do what we can, and what we will do, just as men do. We have the same rights as men. Some of our mothers struggled for these rights in the face of a society that did not believe women could manage anything larger than a household budget. Look how far we have come.
As American women, we have the right to protect ourselves. We have numerous means to do so if it becomes necessary to defend ourselves against violence. Sexual or otherwise. Yet, here we are, independent, strong, amazing American women, blindly following party lines and allowing these liberal progressive establishments and groups to steal our fundamental rights of self defense, away from us.
What will come next? Some liberal judge and jury ordering a woman to be gang raped to punish a member of her family for some made up allegation of wrongdoing? Reading this article, and then listening to my fellow American women talk about not having everything they want, when they want it...kind of puts things in perspective for me.
This Pakistani woman had no way to protect herself from this incredibly vile attack. Do any of us, honestly believe having this woman urinate or vomit, or telling these men she was diseased or menstruating, would have stopped this rape? Not a chance in hell. We all know it, it is a matter of believing it. She was utterly defenseless. And she was made that way by the society she lives in.
American women had better wake up. And soon. By allowing ourselves to be disarmed and discouraged from defending ourselves, we are taking too many steps backwards. If we do not stop and think about how these "new gun laws" will affect us in the long term, we will soon begin to see women prosecuted for daring to defend themselves. Whether she uses deadly force or not.
This Colorado legislator, Salazar, believes we are not capable of deciding if we are "really in danger of being raped." He says we cannot make that decision and we will just pull our guns out and start firing randomly. Of course he has since apologized to women everywhere. I think his apology was worse than his original statement...We women so obviously misunderstood what he meant. Right ladies?
The current liberal progressive agenda is to disarm Americans. Not just women, but ALL Americans. The prevailing attitude of many of these progressive groups, some of which tout the rights of women, seem to be suggesting we women are incapable of knowing when we are in danger and therefore we should not be allowed to have a gun. Or any other weapon to stop a rapist as we are incapable of thinking with any clarity or recognize the danger we could be in. Bull.
I guess as an American woman, I am supposed to allow myself to be victimized any time some man decides he wants to control and abuse me. I guess my rape will be acceptable to these anti gun people. As it will make it so the liberal progressives can feel better about there being no more murders of innocent children. Right. Like taking guns from law abiding women and men will stop the mentally disturbed, the drug dealers and the rest of the sick twisted bastards out there.
Do not allow the progressives to take away the rights we, as women, have fought so hard to defend. When we women willingly surrender one right, we give them all up. And that would include the right to defend ourselves, by any means necessary, to save our lives and or protect ourselves from a anyone intent on committing violence against us.
How long before the progressives have "convinced" the next generation of young women that to defend themselves with deadly force is murder? How long after that will women be punished for the "alleged" crimes of our family members as Mai Mukhtar was in Pakistan? Don't think for a moment it can't happen here. Because it can. If you don't stand up and fight like hell for your right to defend yourself from a violent rape, it WILL happen.
If you give up your "right to keep and bear arms without infringement," you will give up others as well. Of course the surrender of your rights will be touted as for the "good of the community." And you won't even notice they are gone. Until you are fighting off an attacker with your bare hands and, if your remember, your words.
Hopefully you will know you can still "legally" vomit and urinate on him, then tell the rapist you are menstruating and diseased without being imprisoned or stoned to death for "resisting" in to rough and harsh a manner and did not injure the poor poor man.
And of course we all know, once he understands you are diseased and menstruating, he will of course, cease the attack and let you go...
Right?
