women are uncomfortable with them carrying a knife.
Maybe you are, but women largely aren’t. Are you picturing dudes walking around brandishing kukris everywhere? Because you should be picturing people of both sexes having a lil multitool in their pocket or their purse
I would say a hunting/bowie knife is a very specific type of tool. I suppose it matters greatly where you live in the world as to what would be normal to carry as a tool. That might not set off any flags in West Virginia but if someone was walking around a big city with a bowie knife or something I would be more concerned.
Call me sexist but I think they should carry a gun, I clean knocked out a dude with like 40lbs on me and a knife, or we could use surveillance to protect people and you know prosecute abusers but I guess that’s not good for Amazon stock or something IDK.
She carried knives before we met, owned pistols and went shooting a lot (we still shoot a ton after being married for nearly 20 years). She is about as progressive and feminist as they come. Assuming that you understand that not all women are fragile and scared. Plenty of them grew up without fear, but independence and stong will. It seems to be only recently that people are becoming fearful of everything. Social media has really driven people to think the world is super dangerous, when it’s literally the safest time in human history.

Multi-tools/swiss army knifes are a thing. Just because something has a blade doesnt make it a weapon, but I get it.
Does the distinction really matter? A hunting knife is also a tool.

You know there are regions where carrying a knife is so prevalent that I could ask the women to borrow theirs if I didn’t have one right?
Call me sexist, but I think women should carry knives (mostly to defend themselves from men).

Don’t give two shits if they don’t feel comfortable with me having a useful tool in my pocket. Fucking grow up baby.
My wofe has knives and guns…oooo noooo
Woman already comfortable with you is fine with you having a knife. Shocking.
Try pulling one out with what is essentially a stranger half your weight with no witnesses.

And why would you be on a secluded date with someone you don’t trust?
