Even if no one is around, if you are assaulted, you can file a report and the assailant can go to jail - because by definition, they are now a criminal.

There is that deterrent in place, that social constract. Sure it can be violated, but your argument is along a similar line of folks who advocate for open carry.

And if you are killed? There is a strong appeal to reducing the likelihood you will die.

Ask the women you know if they would prefer to be as strong as men or not, and why.
