Rarely does a woman stand a chance against a man...exception would be if she has a gun
You are right, of course. She could have a gun, the "great equalizer" or a stun gun, tazer, whatever, the stuff squirted into eyes.
***Or, she could have a couple of pit bulls or German Shepherd as her buddies.
***Also, I wonder if there were any men in her life, as in dad, brothers, cousins, etc., who would protect her.
My father scared everyone, even my girlfriends, even over the phone. I adored him and miss him still.
I always learned that PREVENTION is the best, usually.
