C. R. Collins (npub1hlf…qyuw) Edwin Downward (npub1ahw…gd0g) 🌛🦋Amelia Kayne (hiatus)🦋🌜 (npub19qs…44zq) Branwen OShea (she/her) (npub1kdq…yrjv) Alina Leonova (npub127n…yf0u) Part of that is my own conditioning; I grew up hearing that if you bring any sort of weapon to a fistfight to even the odds, you're a pussy. Never mind a gun; even if a kid fought several kids off by throwing rocks at them, he was still a pussy despite being outnumbered. Apparently he should have taken his beating "like a man".

However, if you discard the machismo demanding that the weaker participant not look for ways to even the odds, I think there's a certain wisdom in making it harder to dehumanize your opponent by attacking them at a distance.
