Miss Nevada, Nia Sanchez, was crowned Miss USA on Sunday night. During the pageant, Sanchez, who has a fourth-degree black belt in taekwondo, was asked a question about sexual assaults on college campuses. Sanchez suggested that women get training to learn how to defend themselves.

 

For many, yes, the suggestion that women learn to defend themselves was a ridiculous idea, and it even constituted “victim blaming”:

 

 

I....don't even know what to say.

Sounds like a woman's logic.

[Tank]

you don't need training. we promise to change. seriously, this time we mean it.

 

sincerely,

men

I have a 21 year old daughter who just finished her 3rd year of college in Boston. She's tall and strong and took judo for 5 years. That said, we both know she probably can't fight her way out of every situation. Unlike her dad, she refuses to have a gun. We spent a lot of time talking about how to protect herself in as many ways as I could conceive. Where to park and where not to park. Being aware of who's around you. Not walking alone in certain areas or at certain times. How alcohol or dope can affect her and her decision making.

 

However careful she may be it's still my greatest fear that someone might hurt my angel. You can't ever take too many measures to protect yourself and knowing how to handle an attack should be something every woman knows at least something about. Leaving your personal safety in the hands of others is just begging for trouble.

Why didn't you supply her with some hand grenades to store in her purse?

If she would have wanted them I would have.
