Yes, I did think you were male.

Perhaps you haven't experienced this being from the UK, but I have been shot down on more occasions than I can even count trying to voice an opinion on women's issues simply because I have a penis.  Many on the left seem to think that women's issues should be the purview of women only.

And yes, I view women and firearms ownership as a women's rights issue.

That was my point.

The womens' rights you mention are birth control, abortion and rape. These particular subjects will always provoke very strong reactions from the ladies because they involve THEIR bodies! You can't really compare them with topics about guns, can you? Just guessing here, but if you fail to show in your argument that you understand a person must be able to have the last word on what happens to their own body, then you will continue to get 'shot down'. Try reversing the argument; how far would you let women go in deciding what happens to your body?
