Irony. Some groups haz it.

Reading this story about the Iranian woman slain on this video reminds me of perhaps one of the biggest incongruities I've seen in feminist thinking, and perhaps liberal thinking in general. Members of both groups are always wringing their hands over such things, and of course wagging their fingers too, but never once have I seen them ever approach the topic of fighting back. Of course, you know how they approach the topic of guns here in the States, but they never, ever stop to think of how guns could work for the oppressed groups. How the hell do they expect the Iranians to fight back, by throwing rocks? Of course they'd probably say "those people would still be outgunned," but this woman was allegedly killed from some distance, perhaps using nothing more exotic than Grandpa's deer rifle. The shooter might even have been using just his iron sights. There's a lesson in there somewhere...
