Miss Nevada, and after last night, Miss USA, is coming under fire from feminists on social media after she made a shocking (SHOCKING I SAY!) revelation during the Miss USA competition.

Miss Nevada, Nia Sanchez, said the following in response to a question about sexual assault on college campuses,

“I believe that some colleges may potentially be afraid of having a bad reputation and that would be a reason it could be swept under the rug, because they don’t want that to come out into the public,” Sanchez said. “But I think more awareness is very important so women can learn how to protect themselves. Myself, as a fourth-degree black belt, I learned from a young age that you need to be confident and be able to defend yourself. And I think that’s something that we should start to really implement for a lot of women.”

What a terrible thing to say, oh wait, that’s completely reasonable and makes a lot of sense.

However, the anti self defense, feminist group came out in full fury on social media following the audacious idea that women take responsibility for their own safety.

They seem to think that the problem is that men aren’t aware that rape is bad and, you know, illegal.

Miss Nevada was asked about rape at colleges and answered that women need to learn to defend themselves… OR MEN COULD JUST NOT RAPE. — Anna Garcia (@a_mariagarica) June 9, 2014

Miss Nevada might be gorgeous, but needs to realize teaching self defense to women isn't the solution for ending sexual assault #YesAllWomen — Elisabeth Jasina (@jasinae) June 9, 2014

Miss Iowa says today's youth are narcissistic followed by Miss Nevada who wants to end rape with self defense classes Really? Sick #MissUSA — Bergen N. Baucom (@BergenNBaucom) June 9, 2014

Women shouldn't need to learn to protect themselves against rape #missnevada educate and respect yourself as a woman #rapeculture — Anna Beth West (@annabethwest) June 9, 2014

@elisabenson thank you! Women Should not have to defend themselves…. Men need education. — Leo Peterson (@leogpete) June 9, 2014

That’s the editor of Cosmopolitan magazine in that last one.

Let's hope Nevada uses her media tour to reiterate that teaching girls self defense is NOT the best way to protect against assault #MissUSA — Mandy Velez (@mandy_velez) June 9, 2014

Miss Nevada Sick of hearing "women need to learn selfdefense from sexual violence" We need a culture we don't have to defend ourselves from — Colleen Gibbons (@GibbonsColleen) June 9, 2014

Is there some group of people out there that thinks rape is OK in the Unites States? Did I miss this somewhere? If education is the answer, why don’t we teach people not to murder, break into people’s houses, steal cars, and commit fraud while we’re at it?
