A proposed curfew for men - or: why I favor the 2nd Amendment

Back in the early 70s, Golda Meir, the then prime minister of Israel, was faced with a government cabinet full of men discussing how best to curb a wave of violent rapes. The idea of banning women from the streets after dark was floated. Meir made a counteroffer.

"Men are attacking women," she said. "Not the other way around. If there is going to be a curfew, let the men be locked up, not the women."

Ultimately, the idea was dismissed as unworkable. But since then it has been seriously considered by a handful of communities around the world. This time, it's Bucaramanga—a city in the Colombian state of Santander—that will be taking up Meir's metaphorical baton. Next week—on Thursday, October 9—the city of just under 600,000 will experience its first "women-only" night as part of a campaign launched by the state governor's office.

Speaking to the Colombian media, Juan Camilo Beltrán—president of the Bucaramanga Chamber of Commerce and one of the scheme's champions—said that the curfew itself, though symbolic in nature, is a drive to thwart the plague of violent attacks taking place against the city's women.

I wish the male feminist manginas would try this in America.

The 2nd Amendment would ensure that the entire mangina problem would be solved by the first morning after the curfew hit.
