Being A Chauvanist Pig Is OK If...

[Kennedy 0]

I guess being a Chauvanist pig is OK if you write for the local liberal rag.

Anyone care to place a bet on the outcome of any interaction between this putz and our Nightingale, or even better, Amazon?

Looks like a movie review by quade, where the first thing he does is evaluate the racial makeup of the audience.

Except evaluating the demographic that attend a convention on anything makes sense... so... fail.

Makes sense in my world.

My wife likes to shoot but only if I clean the weapon. She does not like the DZ because she does not fit in with the other women. She wanted a motorcycle outfit to ride my bike but, won't ride with me because it is not her style.

Let's face it, most, not all but most, females do not have the slightest desire to learn the operation of a weapon more complicated than a revolver.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I think you're seeing more "stuff" here than there really is. After reading the whole piece, my personal chavinism/bias radar, which is generally pretty sensitive (many on this board think too sensitive), really didn't bleep much. We all play amateur sociologist/psychologist from time to time; that's all it seems to me he was doing.

As to the topic of the article: Sure, there's some overlap, but let's face it: there often is a difference between the kinds of "toys" men like and the kind that women like. Maybe guns are simply in the "more men play with them" category.

And, we each have our personal hot-button issues that make us put our dukes up or, say, start indignant threads about. Bigotry and bullies tends to be one of mine. Guns seems to be one of yours. Not a criticism of you; just an observation.

Now don't you need a trip to the gun shop to overcompensate??

it seemed rather bland until the end:

Women likely won't consider packing pistols if they are concerned that:

-- Spending several hundred dollars on a serviceable handgun might leave them without enough money to get the full treatment at that next visit to the day spa.

-- Carrying a gun in a small purse would leave less room for more important items, such as lipstick or compact.

-- The baggy clothing required to successfully conceal most holsters would make them appear frumpy.

-- Gunpowder residue might stain the new Karen Scott blouse they just bought at Macy's.

-- The gunpowder smell when the weapon is fired could totally overwhelm the Chanel they're wearing.

-- Most firearm accessories come only in one boring color: black.

-- Target practice earplugs simply aren't sexy.

But how upset woman like Jeanne or Kris would get would depend on whether they thought this writer was an ass or just not a very good writer, trying too hard to make a lame topic work.

OK.. I'll allow that that part of the piece was a mite condescending...
