From Theresa Inacker at News2A we get the following: What is the Deadly Cost of Dissuading Women from Carrying Firearms for Self-Protection? - News2A
Women around the United States, including New Jersey, have been shaken by the recent tragic killing of the 22 year-old Georgia nursing student, Laken Riley. Police have alleged that Riley was murdered by 26 year-old Jose Ibarra, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, while she jogged on dirt trails. While the killing is politically charged due to the salient immigration issue, it has also resulted in victim-blaming, and a barrage of recommendations for women on how to prevent such an attack.
It is all too common to see gendered violence: women murdered at the hands of men again and again. Responses to Riley’s murder have varied from calls for women to not run or jog alone, to telling women to carry knives or even pepper spray. But what about carrying concealed? Many women do not consider it an option because they have been scared out of it by anti-gun groups, like Moms Demand Action.
A survey of runners, which cite's women's fear of attack is presented, as is also some bad self-defense advice about bear spray.
Sorry to disappoint Professor Hemenway, but carrying bear spray is not lawful in New Jersey. And sorry, definitely NOT sorry, I WILL be carrying my firearm for self-defense, because despite what he says, my life is worth defending.

While there are some exceptions most females lack the mental mind set to defend themselves and fail to see the need to prepare for doing so till it's too late. In spite of this fact they still persist in engaging in activities that out them at risk. This is likely because females are emotional instead of rational. My wife and daughters are not allowed to engage in such acts if unaccompanied by an armed male.
