Listen up, ladies! Seems Cosmo doesn't want you dating a gun owner [video, pic]

It’s not just Coke that keeps Cosmo up at night — it’s guns. And they want you to be just as irrationally terrified as they are:

The video makes a really strong case:

Wow. What did we ever do before Cosmo was around to paint gun-owning men as condescending, chauvinistic douchebags? Or tell women what’s best for them?

Actually, Cosmo, with all due respect, it’s time for you to take a seat.

Cosmo apparently thinks it's a problem if the guy you're dating views self-defense as a good reason to have a gun pic.twitter.com/6MacwLUvoh

Seems like it’s Cosmo who has the problem. They don’t want to be anywhere near guns? Fine. But don’t expect the rest of us to follow their ill-informed lead.

@StephenGutowski "Mike, the Gun Guy" (catchy, the commercials write themselves) is probably conflating protection as a penchant for violence

@StephenGutowski: Funny, I'd want my gun to protect her, too.

It's insane that @Cosmopolitan would prefer my 109lb fiancé be raped than defend herself @StephenGutowski

It really is nuts.

@Darth_Spurious @Cosmopolitan Damn, my wife gets upset if my gun isn't on the nightstand at bed time. Does no good if it's locked up.

Oh, and by the way:

@StephenGutowski they also seem to think only guys own guns
