I take self-defense classes at a "fight club" (it's not a single gym but a large venue that leases out space to coaches and groups). Something that looks new to me is seeing women in those classes: boxing, MMA, individual martial arts. As much as a third. Gun ownership among women jumped almost 50% (to 23% of all US adult women in 2022) over six years from 2016.

I will say NOTHING here about "who will win in a civil war to establish Gilead", especially since that's fiction. What I will say is that the schtick perpetuated by both the Left and the Right since ever that women are helpless victims is false. I'm reasonably sure that when things go sideways, it will get ugly in a hurry. Could women be enslaved by men en masse? Maybe. But the cost would be higher than you think. Especially since a lot of men won't be bought in, necessarily.

And Secretary Pete Boozehound who thinks women can't be "war-fighters". He should ask Israel about that. Not to mention a number of other countries. Or, of course, he could study history, but that might be too hard for him. Whether openly or covertly, women have fought in pretty much every war. Ask him if he knows who Joan of Arc was for starters.

Hey, some Pams are brave, strong and cool. (Not Pam Bondi, though.)

Points well taken.

Bone to pick, thought: Max is, in fact, NOT the No. 1 Cat. Everybody knows it's Daisy.

Well, Max crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2018 and he'll always be MY No. 1 Cat. However, I can't judge Daisy's worthiness to be a No. 1 cat unless you post a picture.

When he said "other than the uh thing you carry the babies around in" my first thought was that the cost of owning a uterus was going up.

That sick POS spent so much time with Jeffrey Epstein he thinks it’s normal to be a perv.
