Rage-fueled appeals to women’s armed empowerment drive a market in civilian-owned firearms and related commodities while fortifying deregulatory gun policy. Drawing from Achille Mbembe’s (2003) concept of necropolitics, I unpack the intersecting racial and gender logics of women’s armed response to patriarchal violence as a means by which the state “attribute[s] rational objectives to the very act of killing.” In spite of its facial appeals to all women’s empowerment, the “good woman with a gun” remains an exclusionary trope that neutralizes women’s rage in the service of deregulatory governance and the efficient, cost-effective outsourcing of state violence. The emphasis on stranger danger masks the number-one threat to women’s safety—their own male acquaintances and intimate partners—while effacing the disproportionate impact of structural violence on Black, Brown, and Indigenous women and girls.

“真正的赋权是什么样的”：白人愤怒和武装女性的死灵政治

对妇女武装赋权的强烈呼吁推动了民用枪支和相关商品的市场，同时加强了放松管制的枪支政策。借鉴 Achille Mbembe (2003) 的死亡政治概念，我将女性武装应对父权制暴力的交叉种族和性别逻辑解读为国家“将理性目标归因于杀戮行为”的一种手段。尽管表面上呼吁所有女性赋权，但“持枪的好女人”仍然是一种排他性的比喻，它消除了女性在放松管制治理和高效、成本效益高的国家暴力外包服务中的愤怒。
