Not only is she extremely hot, she has no problem honoring the courage and conviction of her principles! Liberals absolutely hate that because that simply cannot relate to it.

America has a "rape culture?"

You are definitely confused.

Rape culture is a concept that links rape and sexual violence to the culture of a society, and in which prevalent attitudes and practices normalize, excuse, tolerate, and even condone rape.
Really? Americans normalize, excuse, and condone rape? The buzz words and phrases that Libs come up with are priceless...

Many feminists have long argued the benefits of self defense education. But the root of the problem is still systemic violence against women, which shouldn't be overlooked. You can read more at FEMINIST.COM:

"Just as there is no one right way to respond to violence committed against us, there is no right way to defend ourselves. And, as much as self- defense may help in certain situations, the most important step in ending violence against women is to stop men from being violent and from allowing others to be violent."
DEFENDING OURSELVES AGAINST VIOLENCE

Rape culture or not rape culture, only a fool refuses to be able to take care of themselves in the environment in which they actually live.

Does anyone actually believe that people commiting crimes don't know they are doing bad things????????? Some (many, actually) people do bad things,
because they like to
.
Bad people do bad things. The only way to stop some people from commiting rape is to kill those people doing the raping. Many say the death penalty is not
a deterent, but I guarantee one thing, dead men commit no rape.
