Ann again

I've posted Ann Coulter columns before and I will keep doing so as long as she keeps making as much sense as she does here. Here's how her latest begins:
How many people have to die before the country stops humoring feminists? Last week, a defendant in a rape case, Brian Nichols, wrested a gun from a female deputy in an Atlanta courthouse and went on a murderous rampage. Liberals have proffered every possible explanation for this breakdown in security except the giant elephant in the room – who undoubtedly has an eating disorder and would appreciate a little support vis-à-vis her negative body image.
The New York Times said the problem was not enough government spending on courthouse security ("Budgets Can Affect Safety Inside Many Courthouses"). Yes, it was tax-cuts-for-the-rich that somehow enabled a 200-pound former linebacker to take a gun from a 5-foot-tall grandmother.

Atlanta court officials dispensed with any spending issues the next time Nichols entered the courtroom when he was escorted by 17 guards and two police helicopters. He looked like P. Diddy showing up for a casual dinner party.

I think I have an idea that would save money and lives: Have large men escort violent criminals. Admittedly, this approach would risk another wave of nausea and vomiting by female professors at Harvard. But there are also advantages to not pretending women are as strong as men, such as fewer dead people. Even a female math professor at Harvard should be able to run the numbers on this one.

Seriously, how stupid can Ann get?

The issue isn't that strong men should be escorting violent criminals, the issue is that strong people should be escorting violent criminals. DUH!

And that is the feminist position that she chooses not to understand: don't base determinations on sex, base them on capacity to do the job. Assuming that any given man is more capable of controlling a potentially violent individual than any given woman is just as - if not more - dangerous than assuming just any individual can do it as long as they pass a background test. Make sure that court security staff are capable of putting a 200 lb fighter down for the count, but don't assume that because of sex they are innately (in)capable of doing so.

Very, very simple. Very, very logical. Very, very obvious.
