Nope. I just put 'illegally' for emphasis, I guess.

Usually rapists, sex predators, and other people harassing or abusing women have guns on them.Should every woman have a gun?

2. @ the video: lol. that was not harassment. That was males trying to be friendly.

Let us see your opinion change when someone is pointing a gun at you.(or in the case of the OP, when someone is trying to illegally rape you)

Without the gun, the woman would still be assaulted and hurt, yes, but the point is the rates of assault would be less. The gun makes the problem worse by increasing the rates of domestic violence against women. Taking the gun away doesn't make the domestic violence go away, but it sure reduces it by a significant amount.
That is only if men will assault their partners less if their partners lack a firearm, and unless you can prove that, your argument is false.

When you're not watching they put something in your drink, but you're too drunk to notice and don't see any problem with the slight taste difference,
you slowly start feeling tired, you leave the club, you walk home, but you get more and more woozy, then they come to you to 'help' you out, they help you walk to a dark corner where you're unable to do anything while they rob you, or possibly rape you.
Watch your drink. It's not that difficult.
Obviously every variable cannot be accounted for, but a gun minimizes the risk.
I don't even understand what we're arguing over; it is not as if women aren't allowed to own guns.

Should kindergartners be given guns just in case their teachers are a little eccentric? No, no they shouldn't. Guns are bad, I try to ignore loudly polarized issues (like feminism) which is why I'm sticking to the gun control aspects associated with the question asked by OP.
So, no. No, civilians should not be given tools whose only purpose is homicide, and they shouldn't be given instructions to shoot anybody acting impolitely. That's dumb, OP.
Homicide is rarely the intended purpose of a gun. Self defense, hunting and target shooting are the most common intended purposes.

when you use it for self defence or hunting your sole purpose is to kill.
either to kill somebody who may or may not pose a threat to you or when hunting to kill an animal. Guns were made to kill. You cannot possibly claim anything else, all guns are meant to kill, but some people may use them for other things but its core remains the same

Absolutely. If they choose to for self defense.
Every human being has an inherent right to self defense, and firearms ensure that a 120 lb woman can protect herself from a 200 lb rapist.

Yes but people who have dangerous tendencies will not admit that. Guns can also turn misunderstandings into tragedies
