Has the gun-control movement overtaken the sex-control movement?
I say yes, solely on the basis of the signs I'm seeing at the protests that say "Arms Are For Hugging":
I can understand thinking of that slogan, with the obvious flipping of the meaning of "arms," but I would expect you to reject it or quickly hear from someone telling you to reject it because it is so discordant with the message of #MeToo. Just because you have arms doesn't make it self-evident that you have a right to hug me. It's saying biology is destiny, like saying "penises are for penetrating." Is that supposed to be an argument for something? The #MeToo movement has the message that your body is yours and no one else's desire for physical contact should prevail over your own idea of what is right for you. Yes, you have arms, but you don't have to hug.
And quite beyond this #MeToo discordance — arms , your flesh-and-blood arms, are useful for many things, not just hugging. Even assuming you like to hug and have someone you want to hug, there are lots of other things you can do with your arms, and you get to decide what they are "for." You might use your arms to use tools and build something, or to write or make communicative gestures (like a fist salute), or to play baseball, or to knit, or to aim a rifle (the other kind of arm) at a deer you're hunting for sport or an intruder who is breaking into your house and might otherwise rape you.
Oh! I'm back to #MeToo things again....
