Women and Security, call a Man

Let me start by saying I support women's liberation, equal rights for women, pay equity and elimination of the 'glass ceiling.' I've worked for women, I've married women, I enjoy the company of women. OK, ladies, I'm your guy.

But, I have a problem with your attitude towards security, both personal and national. With regards to national security, you're basically anti-military. You don't like fighting -- who does? -- and so you don't want to pay for anyone to fight for you. You sort of like the U.N., which, when push comes to shove, means the fighting is being done by the USMC. Humm.

OK, now on to personal security. You really favour anti-gun laws, including the current Firearms Act which prohibits the kinds of small calibre weapons women used to carry. Your plan is to call 911 and wait. For what?

Well, for a man (usually) to show up with a gun.

Do you see anything wrong with this? Don't you feel a little embarrassed by leaving the protection of one man (your husband) and then calling for the protection of another (nice Mr. Policeman)?

And to keep both you and him happy and free, you are quite prepared to call on American Men to protect you.

Well, OK, we're suckers. We men just love doing this, and we'll keep doing it. But when it comes to logic, and honour, and simple fairness, I think Canadian women have a long way to go, with some notable exceptions.

So what should you do to change my opinion?

1. Join the National Firearms Association
2. Get your PAL
3. Write a letter to your MP asking him (or her) to help you get a Type III Authorization to Carry licence so you can carry your restricted weapon around with you.

Then you can protect yourself as an independent person. That's what you wanted in the first place, right?

Update

Some moonbats over at Canadian Cynic and Red Canuck have taken a slice out of this post and me because I'm "dim-Witted" (opinions differ) and the post is "vacuous, condescending, paternalistic claptrap". Actually, it was a wake-up call for Canadian women to take responsibility for their own security if they want to be truly independent. If that's "vacuous, condescending, paternalistic claptrap", I guess I'm guilty of that too.
