A female friend sent me this. Some of it seems to be valid advice, though I don't agree with it all. I do appreciate the advocacy of violent resistance, but one item is left out: A small powerful handgun properly used at the right time.
Subject: Through a rapist's eyes
A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle.
They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets. The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women whose clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
They also look for women on their cell phone, searching through their
purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
The time of day men are most likely to attack and rape a woman is in
the early morning, between 5 and 8:30 a.m.
The number one place women are abducted from/attacked at is grocery
store parking lots. Number two is office parking lots/garages. Number three is public restrooms.
The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don't have to worry about getting caught.
Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3-5 year
sentence ut rape with a weapon is 15-20 years.
If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming.
These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas, or
other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it.
Several defense mechanisms he taught us are: If someone is following
behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or
stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk, I can't believe it is so cold out here, we're in for a bad winter. Now you've seen their face and could identify them in a line-up, you lose appeal as a target.
If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you
and yell - Fire, Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
If you carry pepper spray, (this instructor was a huge advocate of it
and carries it with him wherever he goes) yelling, "I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY!" and holding it out will be a deterrent.
If someone grabs you, you can't beat them with strength but you can by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh - HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands - the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it hurts.
After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he's out of there.
When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of
your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel a little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

Those are great tips. Some of them I haven't heard of.
Lainey
NRA sponsored a Home Security course only for women years ago.
Videos used various situations, and how to react.
Having it in a safe, like minded group was a great advantage.
Firearm instruction was the main focus. Even had a local Magistrate, who was a former LEO, bluntly speak about what to do.
I was an assistant and line officer. Got somewhat envious of the line officer aside of me.
Each of us had only two assigned shooters. He had a 71 year old widowed who never shot anything, even though her husband had a lot of guns, and was a big hunter. This lady probably could out shoot half the men alive!
His second charge, a good looking, very pleasant woman just had a PFA order done against her boyfriend. He was the second guy that abused her. Bet he's the last!
We eventually had them shoot at "thug" targets for mental conditioning. When we went to look at the targets, people aside of us went wild with laughter.
She didn't put one round in the chest area,..........................
NO, THEY ALL WENT INTO THE GROIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She said, "She didn't want ever kill him, just take him out of commission for life, and have him REMEMBER her.
Many women actually brought their families, and those that brought children without a "partner", we had others in the group take care of them. It actually created some friendships outside the course. One of the best things I ever got to help with. Highly recommend it.
Happy Bullet Holes!
Great deterent defense!

Happy Bullet Holes!
