Teach Your Daughters To Hit Someone Who Touches Them
Assault
I recently read this article on http://www.breachbangclear.com/teach-your-daughters-to-hit-someone/
It’s one of my favorite blog/websites. I’m reposting because I believe in what it
says and I feel it has value to the community.
I do have a few remarks and here they are:
Many of the readers responded
that in many school systems it’s a felony to use violence, even in self-defense. That this record could follow you and prevent
you from joining the military, getting clearance or a job. Others point out that jobs and some schools
have policies that require your immediate dismissal.
I believe this is
empowers the creeps who know the treat of dismissal or a felony charge will
make their victim complacent. One only
has to look at the Hollywood-Harvey Weinstein scandal to understand this. I can’t change the world, but we can by
insisting our schools and place of employment treat self-defense is a right and
not an option to be conveniently discarded.
I’m clearly on the
kick ‘em in the nuts and break their fingers side and I if I had a daughter (or son for that matter) I’d
tell her what David says and that we’ll find a solution for the aftermath later.
David Reeder:
“Teach your
daughters, goddaughters, and nieces to fight. If you can’t, then pay someone
to, and teach them that violence is acceptable. Teach them to hit people who
touch them. Not tell the teacher, not complain to the Human Resources
department, to hit them, as viciously as possible, immediately and publicly.
Testicles,
throats, eyes — they’re all vulnerable.
Violence may
not always be the answer, but when it is the answer, it’s usually the only
answer. Including when, perhaps especially when, someone touches them without
permission.
Speaking
strictly to my nieces and goddaughters, I say: you bring me the scrotum of some
dude who grabbed your boob or your butt, girls. I’ll reward you and turn it
into a tobacco pouch. I’d hold forth and
talk more about this, but Jeff Rouner of the Houston Press already has, and he
did a great job of it.
Jeff Rouner:
“I’ve
started telling my daughter that if someone touches her chest, her ass or
between her legs without her permission, to punch them in the goddamn face. Aim
for the nose, Sweetheart. You don’t want to catch their teeth and get a cut.
That’s a good way to get an infection. You want nose or eyes, and maybe use
that front choke Daddy taught you. Turn your forearms so the bone goes against
their carotid and jugular. That’s what makes them pass out.
Can she get
in trouble for violence at school? Yes, she can, and should. Violence is
illegal. Note: I didn’t say wrong. I said illegal. The two are not synonyms.
[…]
Is violence
the ideal answer to sexual harassment? Of course it isn’t. The ideal answer is
living in a world where this sort of thing is swiftly dealt with at all levels
of authority with a zero-tolerance policy. Anytime y’all want to make that
happen, you let me know. Until then, I’m teaching my daughter the proper way to
throw a punch, and if you don’t like it, teach your kids the proper way to act.
Answering
physical assault with physical assault is perfectly appropriate, and I have
long since stopped caring about the concept of polite when it comes to those
who feel boundaries are optional….”
David
Reeder:
“Fuckin’ A.”
So there you have it. Personally I suspect that no school or
business wants the publicity what would come from institutionalize sexual
violence by prohibiting self-defense. My
experience is organizations suddenly go silent when you offer to take it to the
press.
