Always love the argument that women are dependent on men for security, IE, for men to protect them from other men, or often, for there to be only one man responsible for abusing her. "In nature", many female herd animals band together and kick the adult males out. I see no reason why female humans couldn't, or shouldn't, do the same.

This is especially true given modern technology. We're much better able to even out the strength gap with tools. Secure construction for safety in our homes, automobiles for travel, and yes, weapons... I never want to harm anyone, but if I must to protect myself and my daughters, I will.
