Women's safety

[Dalia]

I wanted to create this thread, I had already talked about this in the past but I want to redo one thread because it is important.
Women are sometimes prey and they do not realize it.
Like when you go shopping you do not know that you can be followed when you are alone and then when you go to your car and that from the store that you are followed and you can be attacked to your car even in daylight.
As a friend of mine came to my house this summer and she left my house to go to her car, I escorted her to the gate, it had a shadow to hide who was watching, I told her; you have to be careful that I told her, she told me, but you're right.
Do you have an opinion about this subject, or an experience?

It is always good to be aware of your surroundings, for a lot of reasons but you can practice becoming more adept at situational awareness. Also, don't be afraid to be obviously scanning your environment or making eye contact with those around you:

Women and girls should be taught basic martial arts. I once knew a woman who never reached 5' tall, but she was a blackbelt and was in consideration for the Olympic team. She could flip anyone. This knowledge is out there, it's ancient, and I don't see why it is not in widespread use.

Thanks for the link, and as Damaged Eagle says
do not trust anyone, like for the same friend who opened her door to two strangers at 11:00 pm, she saw no problem and told me not to see the evil everywhere, she was "lucky" if I can say, it is not a question of seeing evil everywhere but it is a question of common sense, it is my opinion.

True, I already have martial arts but a man is stronger physically, it is rather the cunning and foresight which is one of the best asset of a woman

Because it requires years to master. A woman can master the use of a firearm in a week. Can become proficient in a month And an expert in a year.

Sure women should learn how to fight but what happens when a man my size who also has been trained in the discipline of Aikido?

Martial arts is not a sure thing, granted. But training should start early. I think a few years of training should be enough to fend off a certain percentage of attacks.

I don't like the idea of everyone walking around with guns, but women are the most vulnerable in society and it perhaps should be considered in some areas. It's funny, though. On a thread about the idiot in Chicago who was harassing the woman wearing a Puerto Rico shirt and was physically approach her, I asked whether she could have shot him pursuant to the "stand your ground" theory and the gun nuts refused to answer. If this had happened in Florida, the guy could have been six feet under rather than in jail.

You don't need a SYG law to defend yourself from a violent attack. If a person confronts you, and you have a legit fear for your well being, shoot him.

I've always been pissed at the portrayal of women in movies and on television as dingbats who stand around screaming with their knuckles in their mouths when something is going down and who slap-fight attackers. How about balling your fist and giving an attacker a good, solid punch in the jaw, kick him, go for his eyes and his crotch. How many times have I seen a woman in a movie just standing there upset while her honey is rolling around on the floor with some attacker, when she had a nice fireplace poker right behind her or a heavy lamp, or why not just jump the attacker herself?

There seems to have been a concerted effort to keep women from realizing their full potential, instead of being perpetually vulnerable. Somebody out there likes perpetual vulnerability. It's sick.

Then there are the idiots in the Roman Catholic Church, who made a saint out of a girl who chose death rather than being raped, which sent an entirely wrong message. Why would dying be better than being raped? Better to live through an attack and live to tell about it. Oh, don't get me started!

That is on her.
Any responsible owner would always be aware of keeping their weapon out of reach. Or any dangerous object in the house.

Because women just won't. I once taught a class in self defense to women. Mentally, emotionally, they by and large either won't do anything or choke at the last minute. For these women I say take your pants off and lay down. If you fight back and then choke you will be beaten to death. If you have a weapon, keys, a rat tail comb, a cat claw, use it. Put his eye out. Slice his balls off. But no. Women don't want to hurt any one. The sight of blood makes them queasy.

Sounds like you haven’t watched an action flick in quite some time. Nowadays films show women routinely defying the laws of physics going toe to toe with men twice if not three times their size... And not getting flattened in seconds. Funnier still in many of these films they have the smaller woman whooping the much larger guys ass. It’s a real hoot!
