Women just don’t understand that if an angry man can get his hands on them, they are dead.
I ran into a 15 year old girl who told me she hitchhiked, when I tried to tell her the dangers she showed me her Buck pocket knife and said that she would stab a bad guy driver in the thigh, in her mind, tough men just stop when injured and in a rage.
I told her that a tough guy would merely grab the back of her head and beat it into the dashboard until she was dead or unconscious, then he would calmly pull over and deal with his wound, and then deal with her.
Bug spray is better than nothing, and will stop some mild mannered robbers, but it is sooooooo far from being an effective weapon.
I don’t think women realize just how much different (ie stronger) the average guy is to the average gal. I was just reading something here last week about the average woman in her twenties at the height of strength and such has the aerobic capacity of an average guy who’s 50. I didn’t even know it was that markedly different.
