I’m not serious about this. Think of it as a “thought experiment.”

I don’t like guns. But since the Neanderthals are encouraging gun proliferation, we should consider using it to our advantage.

How about a women’s militia? A people of color militia? A gay militia? A trans militia? A Jewish militia and a Palestinian militia?

Why should angry bigoted white guys have an exclusive? Why not a zillion woman’s militias across the country — armed, angry and very dangerous.

Since we have seen that those charged with protecting us (police, courts, representatives) are now either refusing to do their jobs (Uvalde police) or actually attacking and even killing innocent people, maybe it’s time we took matters into our own hands.

Men are either incapable of or unwilling to stand up for women. I’ll be generous and say they are simply incompetent. That leaves women with the job of self defense.

Want to terminate a pregnancy after rape? Point an AR-15 at any policeman or judge who tries to stop you. One false move and there’s a hail of bullets. Say “I feared for my life” — that always works for men.

Or simply lie and deny you did anything. That worked for perjurers and sex offenders Brett…
