Bears, Liberals, and Rape

In response to the discussion going on at Vox's, I'd like to share a little Alaskan Brown (Grizzly) Bear story.

A number of years ago, a few young (20something) liberal couples went tent camping in bear country (anywhere in the bush). Being liberals they didn't bring guns and trusted the bears to not act like bears in the presence of civilized people.

In the evening, a Brown Bear came into the camp site and got some food. He (she?) took the food about 20' away and proceeded to eat it through the night. The meal survived the night, but I don't remember if she survived the mauling. Her campmates tell of hearing her crying "he's eating my arm" and "oh, no! He's eating my guts" throughout the night. This ordeal is fully documented in the book North American Mankillers.

Her friends associates cowered in the tent all night long and did nothing while listening to her moans and groans throughout the night.

Liberals seem to take the same ineffecitve approach to rape as they do to bear maulings. They deny it can be provoked and they aren't prepared to defend themselves when it threatens them or their friends or family.

Bear experts and hunters will suggest that if they build a large fire, made lots of noise, or even charged the bear as a group, the bear may have abandoned the girl it was chewing on. They did nothing, but I wonder if they wished that there was a government agency that would show up and tranquilize the bear and save the girl.

On second thought, they might have done something to help while cowering in their tent. They may have pinned little red ribbons on their shirts as a protest of bear maulings. Liberals do seem to think that helps.

Maybe if Vox posted a picture of the appropriate colored ribbon on his blog, the liberals would realize that he does care about women.
