Townhall editor and Twitchy favorite Katie Pavlich spoke Tuesday night at Iowa State University on the topic of “Sexual Assault on Campus: A Conservative Perspective.” We’ve heard plenty of liberals give their take on campus sexual assault: some universities officially advise female students to blow a whistle, vomit, fake a disease or just use the buddy system and campus “safe zones” to avoid being raped.
By all means, though, women on campus should not arm themselves, for fear that they might mistakenly “feel” they’re in trouble when they’re actually not and “pop a round at somebody.”
Pavlich says that anti-gun protesters attended her speech, which is no surprise.
Ah, yes, @MomsDemand showed up tonight, they must have known I would suggest women be allowed to carry on campus, because they should

Apparently there are dozens of ppl in purple shirts to protest my sexual assault lecture at Iowa State. What they are protesting, not clear

@KatiePavlich Obviously, they're pro-assault.

@KatiePavlich What most people have protested since the dawn of time: reality. @rsmccain

They are protesting that a young articulate conservative woman dare counter their weak arguments @KatiePavlich

All of these purple shirts are somehow making us seriously reconsider a woman’s right to defend herself.
Lots of folks in purple standing up to @KatiePavlich & rape culture tonight @IowaStateU #justice pic.twitter.com/c41EFjhNyR

We’re frankly a little shocked to hear that Pavlich, usually an unapologetic advocate of female empowerment, was promoting women’s right to self-defense and “rape culture” at ISU simultaneously.
Perpetuating #rapeculture, spewing #misogyny: @KatiePavlich claims guns are a woman's best defense against rape
— Dr. Angie Carter (@AngieLCarter) March 11, 2015
So far all of @katiepavlich's talk is about how women should protect themselves better, not how men shouldn't rape #rapeculture #misogyny

ISU should allow all students and faculty to conceal and carry guns on campus, says @katiepavlich tonight

I'm going to start RTing some of the really creepy things that men tweet at @KatiePavlich. If you're looking for rape culture, it's here.

The only people that @KatiePavlich told to be quiet were people of color. SMFH.

Nothing like tweeting at the @katiepavlich lecture to get online misogynist bullies tweeting at you #rapeculture

@LopzFly @AngieLCarter @KatiePavlich Not once during the lecture did Katie talk about ways to prevent sexual assault from happening.

Yeah, get to the part about warning your rapist you have genital herpes.
For a blatant example of rape culture, be sure to check out anything by @KatiePavlich. Her arguements are so great, they must be fiction!
— Sam Shelton (@Samthefeminist) March 11, 2015
Speaking of fiction:
That time @KatiePavlich came to ISU and made fun of "global warming" & scoffed at rape survivors

Here’s some good news: Pavlich’s unique mix of “rape culture” and “patriarchy” is catching on.
