What to do if someone tries to rape you

[Cinjin]

If I am interpreting your choice to use that image correctly, you are trying to say something like the way to do what I just said is with a gun.

It is a possibility, but there are a lot of problems with the idea of carrying a gun around with you and personally, I think what women should do is learn how to kill a man efficiently and quickly with her bare hands.

That sounds more impossibly badass than I mean it to. It is totally easy and practical to do, as long as one has the money to pay for the classes.

Actually, the reality is that most women will not fare well in an attack by a man who outweighs her 2 to 1 and has 3 to 10x her strength. Sure there are exceptions but a gun in the hands of someone who knows how to use it is the way to go. I heard a woman say once that she was an expert martial artist and a personal trainer but that when she was attacked - all her years of physical defense training was nearly worthless. She said all the defensive maneuvers in the world won't save you when you can't move.

Anyway, something to consider. You can get a real decent 38 snub nose or a real small 9mm that will fit into nearly any handbag. Plus, some sick fuckers are turned on by women who fight so hard they do some damage. Makes these rapists feel like they earned it somehow.
