Unfortunately we close out the weekend with this terrible news from Dana Loesch, the NRA spokeswoman and conservative activist.
#MeToo.

Spent my weekend preparing to move due to repeated threats from gun control advocates. 1 pic.twitter.com/cQoZzOYXPt
2 One guy hunted down my private cell phone number, called when police were here, threatened to shoot me in my front yard. #MeToo

3 Another guy created a string of social media accounts, posted photos of my house, threatened to rape me to death. #MeToo

4 Another gun control advocate, after threatening to hunt me down and assault me, dragged my kids into it. #MeToo

5 I’m grateful that my kids’ school worked with law enforcement and private security to ensure campus safety, and work with me. #MeToo

6 I’ve only ever discussed these issues kinda vaguely. More I can’t discuss. I and other 2A women are sexually threatened regularly #MeToo

7 I’m not sad, just determined. Maybe someday ppl will drop the ideological boundaries and not cherry-pick concern. Maybe someday. #MeToo

8 When you think of it, it’s amazing/sad to see the treatment of women on social media who do not identify as progressive.

9 I see conservative women regularly abused on social media by some of the same people slamming Weinstein.

10 The culture is only non-conservative women deserve respect. It’s idiotic, demonstrated daily, and deserving of more than 140 chars.

11 If “inequality” was truly a concern for modern feminists, they’d defend, not shame, women for making choices antithetical 2 progressivism
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017
12 But they sold out by tying their cause to party & don’t defend conserv women as strategy. Some sexism is ok if it silences conservatives
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017
13 Feminism should’ve defended women, regardless of party. Let ideas battle it out in the public sphere, but everyone speaks.

14 Anyway, this is why I get heated about this. Have experienced first hand and witnessed other women endure the same.

Re my last: Maybe now you understand why I believe all women have the right to defend themselves with 2A and expand their skills w training.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) October 16, 2017
And regardless your party or ideology, it’s your right, whether you excercise it or not. I will always defend that for all.

There was a really interesting debate on Twitter about anonymity – some were saying that it needed to be done away with because too many scumbag nazis and antifa were using it to abuse others. But there are people like ME, who use it to protect ourselves. Just look at Dana Loesch’s example – that is why some of us feel like we need to be anonymous and protect our family members.
Anyway. Hope you all had a great weekend! Y’all have an open thread and tell me how right I am…
