I gotta get me one of these Concealed Wives some day!
Mental image. @Ura-Ki is sauntering down sidewalk late at night. Is jumped by three bad guys. Quickly deploys Concealed Wife. Leans casually against building while Wife fills bad guys full of .45acp. Wife changes magazines. "Bodies? Do you see any bodies?" she says, climbing back into concealment. "Nope. Not a one," Ura-Ki says, and saunters on.I gotta get me one of these Concealed Wives some day!
The "deference school" has certainly got much weaker the last few decades. And even in my youth, the indoctrination was not necessarily permanent. Many women seemed to throw off the deferring inferior mentality when they hit their 40s. Wanted jobs, respect, accomplishments of their own beyond home and family.Where is this school that teaches women how they are supposed try to please, appease and defer to men? Because it seems like the majority of women I've ever met 35 years old and younger didn't know about it either.
Ah ok, seems like there has been a counter revolution regarding that as well because some career women are finding (for a while now) that the sacrifice of time is inevitable and to have a career it primarily comes at the sacrifice of time with the family or the raising of children.The "deference school" has certainly got much weaker the last few decades.

This is why I live by a volcano.Ah ok, seems like there has been a counter revolution regarding that as well because some career women are finding (for a while now) that the sacrifice of time is inevitable and to have a career it primarily comes at the sacrifice of time with the family or the raising of children.
The myth that, "you'll be happier if you have a career" really depends on each individual and what they desire out of life. "Pick your sacrifice" is a quote that I find very accurate in this context.
I agree with you that serious careers outside the home are not for every woman. On the one hand, many high IQ women who are highly creative are likely to find twenty years of doing nothing but home making and raising children an incomplete and frustrating life. Back in the fifties a whole lot of these women, with no good jobs available to women, resorted to alcohol and opioids. And "mental breakdowns", that is, women just going crazy, and chronic depression were common. On the other hand, half the female population has lower than average IQs, and half have less than average creativity. They often have to work whether they want to or not. But its jobs, not careers they are likely to have. Crappy jobs that paid poorly, paid no benefits, in which they received poor treatment and no respect. And being a full time stay at home mother and home maker may be a lot more desirable option than a crappy job. In addition, some women find child raising and/or homemaking more satisfying than others, whatever their IQs or level of creativity. Or find creative outlets within the traditional sphere, such as in cooking, gardening, sewing, embroidery, quilt making, etc. Or these days find ways to earn money part time from home with activities such as writing, youtube, gardening and selling produce.Ah ok, seems like there has been a counter revolution regarding that as well because some career women are finding (for a while now) that the sacrifice of time is inevitable and to have a career it primarily comes at the sacrifice of time with the family or the raising of children.

My wife who is in her 70's would prefer to shoot a semi auto. But only if she can get someone else to load the mags, chamber a round, take the safety off, and then after shooting, lock the slide back and make it safe for her.Looking for a concealed carry for my wife. Wondering what the favorite is out there for ease of use, accuracy, etc. what's the general concensus for a woman who has typically only shot .22 in the past and more protection/security minded vs blowing a big hole in a bad guy.
Mine likes it stiff.If she does decide on a semi-auto, make sure that her grip is strong enough to rack the slide.
Wife likes the Shield(9mm) and shoots it well, but the slide can be a little stiff for her.
The Taurus seems to have an exposed hammer which might get caught in the bra on drawing the piece. Wouldn't a concealed hammer be better?.380 or 9mm would be my minimum recommendation. G43 w extended mag is a fine weapon. I got my lady a bra holster for her compact .357 Taurus, but she never wears it.

Or bob it. Also, there are ways to draw a hammer spurred gun without it fouling.The Taurus seems to have an exposed hammer which might get caught in the bra on drawing the piece. Wouldn't a concealed hammer be better?
Well, it's her gun, so...The Taurus seems to have an exposed hammer which might get caught in the bra on drawing the piece. Wouldn't a concealed hammer be better?
