Justthisguy would probably enjoy this article immensely, but I find the main theory unconvincing.

About Me
- Lili Marlene
- Lili Marlene is not my real name. I'm a housewife married with kids, living in Australia. Self-diagnosed with Asperger syndrome a number of years ago, but these days I am not sure that "autistic" is a sensible way to describe anyone. I enjoy many different types of synaesthesia. Stereotypically feminine interests bore me. I think I've always been a loner. Many popular fads and ideas concern me, including misandry, misogyny, gender stereotyping, and the aggressive public promotion of psychiatry and psychiatric interventions. I take exception to people assuming the status of scientists while not living up to the standards of science. I am not a Scientologist, but I'd love to be a scientist.

Woot! Many thanks for thinking of me, Ma'am! I'll read that thing and let you know what I think about it.
I read it. (the abstract, anyway, which was all I could see)
I concur with the author.
If you silly doodahs get your way, and do away with all firearms, what are you going to do about all of the people who are bigger, younger, stronger, and nastier than we are?
Before firearms were invented, the big bad thugs ruled the world. Afterwards, we scrawny nerdy types (and women) had a chance, at least.
"If you silly doodahs get your way, and do away with all firearms, what are you going to do about all of the people who are bigger, younger, stronger, and nastier than we are?"
In theory, it is the role of the police force to deal with such people, well that's the theory....
