As the victim is a woman, she will not be prosecuted for something that a man likely would be. If this had happened to a man, they would likely be accused of "homophobia" and charged with assault. It is a long standing tradition in this country that women be treated more leniently than men.

I am not saying that the woman acted improperly. I am merely stating the obvious, that a man who did what she did would likely be in legal trouble.

What should a woman do when a man exposes himself?

Point and laugh is always the best response. If you have your wits about you, an "OMG It's so tiny!" with the laughter will disarm your assailant. If you want to go for the home run, use the old David Niven line about a man revealing his shortcomings.

...she “just had a feeling.”

There's a lot to be said for human intuition. It's saved my life on more than one occasion.

She should first laugh, then say.....I’’ve seen one of those before, looks like a penis, only much smaller.

Its very unlikely that a man would expose himself to another man, fear of getting the crap kicked out of him...Mostly its done to women and childre...

Say, “That looks like a man’s penis, only smaller,” as you laugh and take aim?

How about, “That thing is so small, it’ll take me two or three shots to actually hit it.”

Either way, a personal remark might dampen his enthusiasm for a repeat display of his shortcomings.

God made man.

Sam Colt made them equal.

if it happened to a man by a homo pervert, there’d be a dead homo pervert on the ground.

I advocate that every woman carry. I’d wager there would be a lot fewer rape attempts and I’m certain that there wouldn’t be any repeat rapists.....

Laugh real loud!

In Longview, a Clark County community near Vancouver along the I-5 corridor, you reach into your pocket, pull out your Ruger .380 ACP semiautomatic, and tell the fellow rather bluntly, “You need to leave or I’ll shoot you. I’m going to blow your brains out.”

Not likely.

This is Washington State.

We should just legalize Flashing as a form of free speech by a sexual minority.

Then it will simply be normal behavior, like waving hello.

Problem solved.
