And when I applied the absolute most efficient technique to shut down a potential attacker against them... guess what? None of those things changed a damn thing. It worked. And the thing I am suggesting specifically is basically choking them to death, by the way, which would be incredibly easy to do if you attacker did not expect you to do that, and most potential rapists specifically select targets that they think will be easy and not resist.
I am not saying that this would work in every situation. But if for some reason, women did this when they could not get away from their attacker, if they just did what I am suggesting, so many of them would not be raped, it is staggering.
I would like nothing more than for this to be true. However, an exorbitant amount of statistics show it to be otherwise.
Perhaps you are the exception - and I hope you are, but in a real fight between an average man and a "tough" woman, I'd put my wager on the angry aggressive male all day long, every day no matter what. Sorry, there's absolutely nothing you could say that could convince me otherwise.
