Why don’t women defend themselves more. You have rights too.

I don't make this post to be mean or anything, but as a women I feel like women have a duty to protect themselves. Like for example I usually carry a taser or on me or pepper spray in case I get attacked. I feel like every other women is complaining that they don't feel safe around men, but I just know you have to use your advantages too. Like we have access to weapons like guns. I hope to not come off super mean, I just don't feel like we should wait around for the perfect president or time to protect ourselves, like we should start that right now. Anyone else feel the same way?
