In the Fort Hood shooting rampage, ten men and three women were killed. The police officer who shot the gunman, Kimbery Munley, is a woman. Here's an interesting letter to the editor in the Wilmington Star about the shooting. Despite the fact that ten of the victims were men, the gist of the letter is that women should learn to fight like Sgt. Munley so that they, too, can defend -- women and children from violent men.
Um, it seems to me that Sgt. Munley proves that women can also defend men, when they want to. Too bad people like this letter writer never got the message that sometimes men need defending, too. Read the letter below:
Letter to the editor
Self-defense Training for Women
Officer Munley sets an example for all women to be trained in self-defense and use of weapons as a means of preventing rape and domestic violence. Every public school, YWCA, domestic violence shelter, and police department should provide such training. If all women were able to defend themselves and their children against attack, the statistics on rape and domestic violence would drop precipitously. Violent men look for vulnerable victims, not for people who can effectively fight back. Munley should be funded to lead such a national program.

The gender feminist paradigm has become a type of "perversion" for the gender feminist community to indulge in.
The same is true concerning a large majority of feminized citizens in the U.S.A. AND THE REST OF THE WORLD.
This man killed more men than women .What does this say? He probably felt chivalrous concerning the women?
What an airhead. First of all, this has nothing to do with rape or domestic violence. Secondly the majority of domestic violence victims are men, not women.
Another all too typical example of feminist hatemongering.
Surely if you give every women such training then the stats will be even worse. Most domestic violence is reciprocal and initiated by women.
Thus if you train such initiators to fight more effectively you're looking at more dead male victims, not to mention more deaths of females caused by men successfully defending themselves from such attacks using an even greater level of violence.
We need to train women and men to stop being such hateful violent people. Additionally we need to tell women that actually it's not ok to hit men, just as men are always told it's not ok to hit women.
But that "training" would have to come from being raised in a normal two-parent household in which the dad isn't a doormat, and we can't have that.
this is just a 'woman-targeted' version of the complaint, "This is what's wrong with masculinity!" that we hear every time a man does something akin to this. Like VA. Tech. Or esp. Marc Lepine.
The attack at Ft Hood had not one thing to do with rape,domestic violence, or any violence toward children. The writer of the article has shown her ignorance by trying to tie the attack to something not even related.
Look at the media manipulation of the serial killer in Ohio.
Not once have I heard him referred to as a "serial killer".
It's always "Rapist found with 10 bodied in house" or "Sex Offender found with bodies in house".
Sometimes his Ex-Marine status is mentioned, but we aren't revisiting hatred of PTSD veteran's - yet.
It's as though murder is a secondary concern.
He may not have even raped them.
Reports say women were seen sitting on his front porch talking. There is no indication they did not go willingly with him...how they missed the smell of death is anybody's guess.
This will be used to pass ever more intrusive, unConstitutional laws that do nothing more than strip ALL citizens of their rights.
That's what this is all about.
As if it's worse to be a rapist than a serial killer! But strangely enough that seems to be the attitude.
Nobody cared when Andrea Yates murdered five kids, at any rate.
