For All My Girls, Here Are 10 Ways To Protect Yourself Against Rape!

[KatherinexPierce]

In the modern day, it’s not hard to realise women are living in constant paranoia and fear of men. Woman these days get untreated STILL even after we have RISKED our lives and fought for years for our small piece of deserved freedom.

97% of women are sexually assaulted, and 20% are r*ped, and pretty much every woman have had unwanted attention such us being followed be men and vans, whistling, cat calling, the list just goes on and on.

So girls, I know your fear of going out alone, but you can learn someone knowledge about protecting your self from r*pists.

Here are some general factors about r*pists:

1. Most r*pests strike in the early hours of the morning, 4-

2. They usually abduct/r*PE women at park

3. They usually look for long hair, braids, buns and pony tails to tank/pull.

4. They look for clothes easy to remove, often bring scissors..

6. They look for women doing something while their walking so their more vulnerable, like looking in your bag, looking at your phone,

Here are some ways to protect yourself:

1. Always bring pepper spray with you, if you aren’t aloud in your country, use hairspray.

2. Stay alert.

3. You can buy safety key chains with tools and all sorts of things for women, you can probably find this on etsy.

4. Most of the time, when I’m going out especially at night, I always dress up in masculine baggy clothes, and a lot of layers, other people will think I’m a man so I’ll be safe.

5. If it’s a constant fear of yous, and makes you not go out, consider adopting a big dog that will protect you, I know a lot of women find this helpful.

6. Go to fighting lessons to know how to fight back.

7. If possible, try go out with at least another person.

I know it’s hard, but try not to live in paranoia all the time, just be educated on how to fight bacj, that’s the most important thing, Stay safe girls! ❤️❤️❤️

[MahdiA]

As a guy, I appreciate that! I have a female friends and a sister and these tips could be helpful for them! Knowing that I have to raise my future kids in this unsafe world is scary tbh. Stay safe!!

[SavageGirl101]

Damnnn the guys in these comments are such assholes

[jasco]

Well first off, the only thing that I think personally would be of any use to you in a fight would be the dog, hand to hand combat training, Adding extra layers is a good thing but also really dangerous because if the man decides to come after you anyway your gonna be tired due to being over heated, bringing another person is always a good idea. If the guy is fast enough you may not be able to get the prepper/ hair spray. So the only thing I can say is that ladies watch your surroundings, if you wanna check for something go to a mall or somewhere where there is lots of people. If you wanna work out, do it at the gym, home or at least take you something more powerful than prepper spray. Cause if someone is really out to get you than it wouldn't matter what spray you brought unless it was watered down bleach which could permantly blind a person. As for what you said to me, I thought cat calling was harrassment not sexual assault. At least that's the cops say. Same with whistling. As for people following you with vans, most dudes are that stupid at least that's what I like to hope anyway. Most dudes don't used vans anymore they used Uber and any other site that would have a pickup line. Also assuming you aren't talking world wide, but lets just say America. Honestly you might as well round that to 100%. As for the 20% rape, here in america its 18.3%.Sexual Assault Statistics | National Sexual Violence ... says that. Now do I believer every women on this Earth is paranoid of men? No cause I know several women who aren't scared of men at all and 1 or 2 could even beat up a man. So in short I think women at least compared to Medieval time periods are much safer because there weren't any laws regarding women. Now there are many laws saying you can't do this or that to women/child and that's great. However some women do abuse these laws and that's a problem for another time

[Pasiton5]

Being a man it saddens me that this ever have to happen to any women or men, it shows a lace of self control respect for others, one thing anyone women men must not do and this is important to always remember, and that is to never panic try to always remain calm, you panic you stop thinking that's in any emergency situation, you never want to lose your ability to think rationally, and if attacked a swift kick in a man's groin will I'm most cases put him down, and get carry a loud horn when your out alone at night keep it close on you the noise will most likely scare them off, it shouldn't have to be this way for anyone to have to live survive, just please be aware of your surroundings always and be extra careful on these date sites use caution always, thank you for sharing this take care

[Shihab91]

Its sad that women don't feel safe with us.
Few things i do to make them feel safe:
In elevators if I'm with one woman i face the -door and give her me back so she can see me and knows that I'm not checking her out.
- when you walk behind her if she speed up i slow down if she walks normally then i speed up and pass her so she can see I'm stalking here.

I have been in these situations many times and i could feel their fear its sad and might hurt you feelings because you aren't bad guy but put yourself in her shoes.

[Jackblue]

Ok, I know that you are frustrated, but you are not going to get anywhere if you post errors. According to the statistic 97% of women have been sexually harassed not sexually assaulted. There is a difference. I have been sexually harassed (cat called), but never assaulted which would have been much worse. Women mostly know their rapists, so I doubt a public park in the night is really the most dangerous place for a woman.

[KatherinexPierce]

Yeah I mean to say parking lots

[KaniCrab]

My god the comments from guys in this thread of abysmal. oH mY gOd. wHY wOmeN cAre aBoUt rAPe. fucking stupid. Thank you for the tips tho.

[NobleFlight]

Interesting myTake. I've never been raped myself, but I can imagine they aren't expecting you to fight back. It might be a good idea (if they don't carry any weapons) to fight back, although, remember, doing so may increase your odds of injury.

[Anonymous]

Great take, at least the part about women protecting themselves.

But the bullshit sexual assault statistics, not so much.

[Opinion Owner]

Also, your comment that "in the modern day, it’s not hard to realize women are living in constant paranoia and fear of men" suggests that women are victimized more today than in the past, which is false. Women today are far safer than at any time in human history, as are today's men. There have always been bad people, and there always will be, but things have improved immeasurably in modern times. As in the past, today's men are at far greater risk than women of being the victim of violent crimes, but like women, we are victimized far less not than in the past. We should all take precautions to protect ourselves, but let's not pretend things are worse today than in the past or that women are at greater risk than men. Every law abiding citizen, male or female, is at risk of being victimized by bad people.

[KatherinexPierce]

Well women get mistreated horribly, not by every man, not always by a man. But to much.

[Opinion Owner]

That's true, just as men get mistreated horribly by women. Not by every woman, not always by a woman. But too much.

Bullshit statistics like the ones your posted here accomplish nothing positive but they create a lot of hatred and mistrust between the sexes. Please just stop.

[KatherinexPierce]

You sound like you support rape, good for u

[Opinion Owner]

You sound like you support lies.

[spearheadbt]

"just as men get mistreated horribly by women"
please. You can't compare. I think the amount of women who were actually raped is at least 10%, can't remember the number, but it's in that order of magnitude. And it's at least an order of magnitude greater than guys. As for sexual harassment, there's also just no comparison possible. What do you mean by men being "horribly mistreated by women"? Being manipulative in a relationship? Guys also do that all the time.

Thing is, guys are way more violent than women. Just look at prisons. How often have you heard about a women killing her ex-boyfriend/husband (and possibly the kids) after he left her? Doesn't happen, or like once in a blue moon.

[Opinion Owner]

@spearheadbt Nice, another fucking woman with a blue account. Get a life, "dude". If you were actually a man (rather than a woman pretending to be one) you wouldn't now your response here in complete biased, sexist nonsense.

[Jack9949]

I do not believe that 97% of women have been sexually assaulted. Because at least 20% of women aren’t even attractive at all to begin with

[MrTaboo]

Women are afraid for men because feminists want them to be that way. They're taught to be. That's why they can't get good guys to date. They can't see any.

[KaniCrab]

why can't they just be scared because of experience? also she's talking about protection from rape. does that make you mad because people don't want to get raped

[MrTaboo]

The percentage of men that rape is very small. Its very sexist to lump all of us into what just a few do.

It's like saying all women are sluts and cheat. No, not ALL, some.

[KaniCrab]

I don't think this post of was saying all men rape. There were saying they want to be protected from the men they do. Not all people are thieves but you wouldn't walk around with money hanging out your pocket. The point of this post is to learn to defend yourself.

[KatherinexPierce]

Rapists rape multiple women. Doesn’t matter, 20% of women are still raped

[spearheadbt]

"That's why they can't get good guys to date. They can't see any."

lol, is this guy an incel or something? And talk about generalizations from someone who lamented generalizations...

[Ryfyle]

A Shame you can just bring a Gun. Can't rape if your bleeding out.

[princeofromance]

Be careful out there ladies. We are in a messed up world these days.

[Anonymous]

@SavageGirl101 @kanicrab

I am disappointed at the intellectual dishonesty of some of the female responses here.

[Anonymous]

Being paranoid about rape doesn’t mean your actually in danger most of that anxiety is women being neurotic.

[KaniCrab]

you stupid as fuck

[Opinion Owner]

OP provided nonsense statistics. It's very common for women to do that and then latch onto them despite being nonsense. That's being neurotic. When corrected, instead of being glad that the things they feared aren't that big a problem, they get mad at the prospect of losing victim status.

[KaniCrab]

You call it being corrected but I call it being dismissive because if those statistics are true you're ignoring a problem. you don't a statistic to know women are at threat of getting raped. And why are you people anonymous? Imagine being a pussy. But I want to know how the statistics she cited are nonsense.

[Opinion Owner]

@KaniCrab
"I call it being dismissive because if those statistics are true you're ignoring a problem."
They're not true though, that's the important detail.

"to know women are at threat of getting raped"
I didn't say there wasn't a threat at all. *Everyone* is at risk for all sorts of dangers, this Take and these statistics are just exaggerating only this singular thing. Half of her advice is dumb, but I'm not saying people shouldn't take precautions. I think the Take is a weak response. I would say every woman should carry the largest caliber handgun she can handle, that's a much more effective tool at stopping such problems. Men too for that matter, as they're even more frequently the victims of violent attacks.

"And why are you people anonymous?"
Don't take it personally, babe. I always go anonymous without even thinking about it. People fixate on people's identities and their own ego instead of tackling the ideas themselves. Everyone should be anonymous all the time wherever possible, people having identities online is cancer.

" I want to know how the statistics she cited are nonsense. "
Well, for starters there's literally no citation provided.

[spearheadbt]

"Well, for starters there's literally no citation provided."
So of course that means they are wrong!

@KaniCrab I think it's 97% of women are sexually *harassed* and not assaulted. Still, that's pretty damn bad and you still have 20% of women who are raped, which is horrendously high.

"Men too for that matter, as they're even more frequently the victims of violent attacks."
Rapes are violent attacks and you don't have 20% of men being the victims of violent attacks, far from it. I don't know of any guy who was the victim of a violent attack. But then I don't know anyone taking part of criminal gangs.

[Opinion Owner]

@spearheadbt “So of course that means they are wrong!”
It means they’re baseless and haven’t been demonstrated to be anything other than a baseless assertion, and so it should be treated as such.

“you still have 20% of women who are raped, which is horrendously high.”
Well that’s not accurate at all, so I guess good news, it’s no where near that high. Again, those are nonsense numbers and you shouldn’t be parroting random numbers you hear from ignorant n-th hand feminist activist “sources”.

“Rapes are violent attacks and you don't have 20% of men being the victims of violent attacks”
You don’t have 20% of women either.
Even including rape, men are more frequently the victims of violent crime, but that’s beside the point. The point is that everyone should be equipped with effective self-defenses tools and skills.

“I don't know of any guy who was the victim of a violent attack.”
Good for you, meanwhile the statistics don’t agree with you. I’ve been attacked randomly in the street, friends too, and not for robbery or anything specific, just randomly bashed for no reason, no one in any gangs. How about let’s not get bogged down in the anecdotes and just focus on the big picture numbers -- which don't agree with you.

[spearheadbt]

@Opinion Owner
"It means they’re baseless"
No it doesn't. Not quoting doesn't mean the numbers are baseless if they are true. Like, I can tell you the Sun is white even if it doesn't look like it. I'm not giving references, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong. Of course, that's not the best way to do things, but still. Something is baseless if it is false and portrayed as being true. A truth without its reference is not baseless, it's just not referenced.

"Well that’s not accurate at all, so I guess good news, it’s no where near that high"
But you are not citing any numbers either, so I guess that makes your assertion that they are nowhere near as high as baseless.

"I’ve been attacked randomly in the street, friends too, and not for robbery or anything specific, just randomly bashed for no reason, no one in any gangs"
Then I guess you live in a shithole. But seriously, this is also quite anecdotal. And if you were randomly attacked, then that means that it is as likely for women too. The thing is, lots of guys are victims of violent attacks because they themselves put themselves in such situations where that occurs. Like criminality. Something like 97% of prisons populations are men. Why? Because they beat and kill the shit out of each other. And if you are not part of the wrong crowd, then random attacks are just that, random. You don't aim at guys if you are attacking randomly. "oh no, I can't touch the ladies". You can rape them but you'll be careful not to randomly attack them. Yeah, right.

Most of the guys being victims of violent attacks are asking for it (ie. taking part of gangs and crime), while most women being victims of rape are not asking for it, some guys just can't keep their dicks in their pants. As for flat out murder, clearly, women are way more killed by their ex-husbands than the contrary or guys being randomly killed for no good reason.

[Opinion Owner]

@spearheadbt “No it doesn't. Not quoting doesn't mean the numbers are baseless if they are true.”
We have no reason to believe they are true, no citation was provided. So they are functionally baseless here. Also, the sun is actually green and I don’t need a source for that apparently.

“Something is baseless if it is false and portrayed as being true”
Yes, and that applies exactly to what we’ve seen. So I don’t see the problem.

“But you are not citing any numbers either”
Well, firstly, I don’t need to according to you.
Secondly, I don’t have the burden of proof.
Thirdly, I’ve been through all these popular studies that get cited all the time. They’re demonstrably flawed. When the person making these claims shows valid justification for those conclusions, only then should I consider referencing a counter-point, else it’s just nonsensical ravings that I have no reason to occupy myself with.

“Then I guess you live in a shithole.”
Careful. Your vitriol is showing.

“But seriously, this is also quite anecdotal.”
That’s why I said let’s *not* do anecdotes. *Listen* next time.

“if you were randomly attacked, then that means that it is as likely for women too.”
No, it doesn’t. That presumes criminals don’t distinguish between men and women. They obviously do and your argument hinges on it, so let's not be dumb on purpose, okay?

[Opinion Owner]

“Something like 97% of prisons populations are men. Why? Because they beat and kill the shit out of each other.”
Oh? Prove it.
So things like discrepancies in sentencing between men and women suddenly don’t exist anymore? When you take into account every gendered discrepancy from the likelihood of having the cops called on you when committing a crime, to the likelihood of being arrested, to being charged, to being convicted, and to the severity of the sentence, etc, the prison populations between men and women work out to being closer to 50/50.

“You can rape them but you'll be careful not to randomly attack them. Yeah, right.”
The answer is simple, they don’t rape them anywhere near as frequently either, obviously. Which is entirely consistent with what I’ve already said. Next time, think it through before you back yourself into a corner like that.

“As for flat out murder, clearly, women are way more killed by their ex-husbands than the contrary or guys being randomly killed for no good reason.”
Nope. More men are killed. So, take the exact opposite of that thing you said – it’s much closer to reality than what you said.

[spearheadbt]

@anonymous
"Nope. More men are killed"
Indeed. Re-read what I was saying. I said more women are killed by their ex-husbands than men are *randomly* killed. The non-random part being usually people involved in crime. Which again, means they were looking for it. Women killed by their ex-husbands are NOT looking for it.

"Oh? Prove it."
Lol, do I even need to prove it? You know why people end up in prisons. How many women are part of the Hells Angels or street gangs? Other than girlfriend or wives doing little things. How many are drug dealers? Prisons should be 50/50? You gotta be kidding, I'm sure you don't even believe that. The scientific literature shows that there are much more very violent men than very violent women. That alone can explain the demographics of prison population. But clearly you are taking the piss at me. Heck just look at serial killers. How many are women? Or murderers in general.

"The answer is simple, they don’t rape them anywhere near as frequently either, obviously"
Which is entirely false. You ask me for proof, yet you yourself don't furnish any. Yeah, right. But here it is anyway: [search the article rape by gender on wikipedia, I can't do links here apparently]
2000 study from the CDC (US). Attempted rape means that: that something prevented the rape and that it could very well have happened. The fact that they are not actual rapes is hardly comforting. It still means that an asshole tried to do it. Even the 5% (1 in 20) of actual rapes in the UK is crazy high. 1 in 20 means that right now you personally know a handful of women who were raped, possibly in your own family.

[spearheadbt]

@anonymous
"We have no reason to believe they are true, no citation was provided. So they are functionally baseless here."
Functionally baseless LOL. Yeah, you can come up with things to make your own truth, sure. In any case, you said baseless, not functionally baseless. The additional word definitely means that it is something different. That the number is "functionally baseless" is not so interesting, as you can look it up yourself anyway, since it's out there. You're just making your own bullshit here hahaha

"Also, the sun is actually green and I don’t need a source for that apparently."
No, it is white. Take a good look at snow, which colour is it? Or clouds. Or the moon. Why are they all white? Because they are reflected sunlight. The ground or oceans are of a different color because there is absorption of particular colors involved. No star is green, or purple for that matter.

"Well, firstly, I don’t need to according to you."
Well I told you where to look for it, but you could have done that yourself. We are not writing a scientific paper here, are we?

"Secondly, I don’t have the burden of proof."
if you go against the official numbers, then yes. If I say the Earth is a sphere, I don't need to prove it, but if you claim it is flat, the burden of proof is on you. That's how it works.

"valid justification for those conclusions"
who's saying they are not valid, you? Then I guess I can put up any paper and say I disagree with the results because the justification or the methodology is not valid. There ya go. Easy, I can do my own science!

[spearheadbt]

@anonymous
"Careful. Your vitriol is showing."
No, I'm being serious/joking. You must not live in a safe place. I suppose you are American? That's the kind of thing that either only happens if you live in the US, or in a big city and you are very very unlucky.

"No, it doesn’t. That presumes criminals don’t distinguish between men and women. They obviously do and your argument hinges on it, so let's not be dumb on purpose, okay? "
Then it is not random! And why would they not attack women if criminals feel like hitting someone? because they are gentlemen? They are fucking criminals! You make no sense.

[Opinion Owner]

@spearheadbt “Yeah, you can come up with things to make your own truth, sure.”
I didn’t come up with anything. OP came up with things and I said they were wrong.
I can use all sorts of synonyms, you playing semantic games doesn’t defend the original post from my criticism. I can all it junk, bad, wrong, dumb, baseless, deception. Take your pick, all apply.

“No, it is white.”
Obviously not. You believe I don’t need to justify any position I take, so me saying it’s green is equally as valid as anything else. If you don’t think it’s green, then prove it. Cite a bunch of spectral analyses of the sun. While you’re at it you’ll be entirely validating my position; that an assertion needs proof – that you don’t just get to make shit up and act like it’s real when I point out that there’s no reason given to believe the assertion.

“Well I told you where to look for it, but you could have done that yourself. We are not writing a scientific paper here, are we?”
I’ve read the sources before, have you? Like I said, they’re junk.
You’re trying to reference to scientific standards, and if you’re not going to hold it to scientific standards, then why should I take it seriously? I’m guessing you haven’t actually critically reviewed these sources, nor have any background in science, right?

“if you go against the official numbers, then yes.”
I didn’t go against the “official numbers”, because firstly, they’re not “official numbers”, they’re just numbers, and secondly, if you say the earth is a sphere *yes* that does have a burden of proof because it is a claim in the affirmative. If I say it’s *not flat* then I don’t have the burden of proof. So no, you really don’t know how it works.

[Opinion Owner]

“who's saying they are not valid, you?“
Yes, but that’s not even the problem. I don’t need to say they’re not valid, because by default they’re not valid until a conclusion can be justified. So far, there hasn’t been anything to justify them. Without data, they’re just arbitrary numbers spoken in a vacuum.

“Then I guess I can put up any paper and say I disagree with the results because the justification or the methodology is not valid”
You say it as if it’s a joke, but yes, if you have good criticism of a paper’s methodology or conclusions that’s exactly how it works. Bad research will often be pulled if such problems can be demonstrated. So again, it seems like you lack any background in science.

“You must not live in a safe place. I suppose you are American?”
No. I’m not American. I live in a very safe place. Safer than your country according to the global peace index. And not in a city. But again, the point was to avoid anecdotes altogether because it’s pointless.

“Then it is not random! And why would they not attack women if criminals feel like hitting someone? because they are gentlemen?”
It was random, it was not a personal targeting. And yes, many criminals absolutely believe that they’re “gentlemen” relatively speaking. Many show deference to women and try to restrict their violence to men. Immorality is not an absolute scale where all kinds of degenerate behaviour increase uniformly. Criminals of different varieties lack in different virtues. Some will be comfortable stealing, but not killing. Others will kill, but take pride in never hurting women. Others only want to sell drugs and are averse to killing or theft. This is not hard to observe, there’s plenty of historical documentation of criminals and interviews out there which shows what they think of themselves and others.
