Kicking a man where it REALLY hurts is always a viable way self defense. But she has to be ready for his real anger. The kick better be HARD and ON TARGET.

“I miss my daddy still.” Me too. Two things on this issue - he told me that no matter how late or if I was drunk or whatever he would not give me a hard time but just to call him and he would be there to pick me up. The other - he made me learn how to change a tire on my car.

“I don’t know if that behavior is worse nowadays than before.”


Women have ALWAYS been vulnerable.

I remember two specific incidents that happened to me in the fifties———frightening.

Sixty years later and I still recall them.

Now the Muslim horde knows right where to get in line.

A popular Psychologist seminar gal said,

“If you want to be Feminine, stick with a Masculine man.”

My comment, it is nature, otherwise carry a gun.
I traveled to many States, even in darkness, everywhere. But if I was female, I know I could not travel alone.

Bad advice. An excited man's genitals are less vulnerable. Probably an evolutionary thing. Nature makes procreating easy.

Better for a woman to practice to hit your palm to the bottom of his nose, trying to jam the nose bone into the brain. You get one shot, after which your arms may be held. If you do the eye gouge, hold the ears for leverage.

If you do a kick, the attacker's knee is best, using foot heal or ball of toes. BUT you must practice it, a lot. The type of kick does not leave kicking leg hanging, it is retracted quickly after each kick.

I was trained in Germany. The best defense is kicking and hitting, if you cannot out run, not wrestling.

But they must be well practiced before you need it.

I’m trying to train my new puppy to stop barking with a whistle. It’s not working.

I'll have my girlfriend carry a gun or pepper spray or mace...

You had a GOOD daddy.
When I went out on a date my mother would give me A DIME to call her. My father would slip me $5.00 to take a taxi. :o)

In the end I never had to do either. The guys I went out with always brought me right home. They were afraid of my father. He had a basso baritone voice and a "look." Even my girlfriends would hope that he didn't answer the phone because his voice scared THEM.

I had problems in Mexico, my own fault, and I used my legs to run. That always worked.
There's NO WAY I'm going to get into it with a man. One punch at me and he's clocked me. Better to avoid the bad ones. After that I only dated men whom I met through friends. I married a man my SISTER introduced me to. He was a winner.
