Re: Suprisingly decent article on self defence

it's not really rape that i look out for, it's unwanted contact in general. assault, mugging, rape, groping, what have you. i look pretty defenseless bc im tiny and i guess i just look like a clueless bimbo, so i know people who are looking to cause trouble would be quick to scope me out as easy pickings (theyre wrong, but thats not really a bad thing for society. i'd be happy to floor a mugger).

so i do things almost without thinking like locking my car doors if im sitting alone at night and there are men/a man walking my way.

but i dont blame women who live in fear or who are fearful in general of being assaulted. the likelihood of a woman being assaulted is disgustingly high, and that risk increases depending on what demographics you belong to (ie. if you are trans). in addition, the odds of a random man that passes you on the street being a rapist (as in, having raped before) is something like one in ten. that's a pretty substantial risk, considering most of us are in contact with a good number of men every day, and you never know when youre going to run into a man who 1) is willing to rape and 2) feels like it on that particular day. so i might not be all that fearful on a daily basis, namely because i tend to be in the company of men that i trust with my life, but i dont mock women who are genuinely afraid. it's not funny it's sad, and the worst part is their fear isn't all that unfounded.

Fuck that M&M's analogy, Jesus Christ.
