4. Zerlina mentioned two important things.

1. Rape in the military---obviously women trained with firearms and can carry a firearm are still raped and killed. The military is far from safe. Which destroys both that silly woman and Hannity.

2. Men can be taught not to rape. The idea is that men as children have to be raised with a deep respect and appreciation for women's rights. End of story and future rapes are prevented.

7. "Men can be taught not to rape."??? What!

As if that is the normal mind-set of men, to rape women? No, it is not!

We do not have to be taught anything except respect for other people. Other people being both Women AND men. And since it is usually women that raise the boys to manhood, shouldn't at least some of the blame be assigned to the mothers/women that raised these men who rape? In the real world, one would think anyway.

Respect goes both ways and I don't see any respect for men in general, in that statement.
What a narrow one way view you posted as point #2.
Men are not the enemy, any more than women are the enemy. Only some people are. Those that lack respect for others, of whatever gender.

...so I'm just going to talk over you to get my point across rather than be responsive to the points you've raised, which are entirely valid."

it's an excellent point in the argument -- that if
guns were the solution, women in the military
wouldn't get raped.

8. Disingenuous epitomized. Two conservatives worried about rape and choice - but only in this context:

... guns.

Hannity doesn't give a shit about rape, and whoever the hell the conservative woman was would never invoke a woman's right to choose except when it comes to carrying concealed firearms in public places.

Unfortunately, Zerlina Maxwell wasted her time trying to reason with the dumbest human on broadcast media.
