Seeing thru the rapist's eyes
-
A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they looked for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
(A) WHO
(1) The first thing the men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or other hairstyle that can be easily grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
(2) The second thing the men look for is clothing. They will look for women who's clothing is easy to remove. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
(3) They also look for women on their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
([color=blue]B[/color]) WHERE
(1) The time of day men are most likely to attack and rape a woman is in the early morning, between 5:00a.m. and 8:30a.m.
(2) The number one place women are abducted from/attacked at is the grocery store.
(3) Number two is office parking lots/garages.
(4) Number three is public restrooms/toilets.
The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don't have to worry about getting caught.
Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3-5 year sentence but rape with a weapon is 15-20 years.
If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming.
These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas, or other similar
objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands. Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon.
So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it.
(C) HOW
Several defense mechanisms he taught us are:
(1) If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or staircase, look them in the face and ask them questions like " what time is it? My friends are supposed to be here 10 minutes ago." etc.
This is to show that your friends are on the way, so it's not worthwhile for him to take the risk.
Secondly, it shows that you're a CONFIDENT person and you're not the type that look timid and can be easily taken over.
Thirdly, now you've seen their face and could identify them in a line-up if they are caught. So, with this you lose appeal as a target to these rapists.
(2) If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell "Stop or Stay back!". Most of the rapists this man talked to said they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back.
Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
(3) If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and he also carries pepper spray with him wherever he goes,) yell to the rapist: "I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY!!" and holding it out will be a deterrent.
(4) If someone grabs you, you can't beat them with strength but you can outsmart them.
If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh - HARD.
This instructor was told by a woman in his class of defence, that she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date-rape her and he was so upset as she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands!! - the guy needed stitches.
Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it hurts.
(5) If you slap a guy's parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause a lot of trouble.
(6) When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back
with as much pressure as possible.
The instructor did this to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
IN ALL CASES, DO NOT PANIC!!
By the way, it is also worth it to leave scratch marks on the rapist on any part of his body for easy identifcation if he is caught. Of course the things we always hear still apply: Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you, eg to the toilet, to the car park, if possible and if you see any odd behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel a little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was a trouble. -

Another tatical tip: When grabbed from either the front or behind, instead of going for the toe-stomp you see so commonly in the movies, the best method is to bring your leg up, and stamp on his shin or knee joint with as much force as possibe. Lash out with your foot, bringing the weight of your body down, at the same time put a bit of forward motion.
This is the classic karate shin-break, it will be extremely painful, and the guy will most likely lose interest, and even if he did not, he would be much easier to fight or escape from as he would be incapicated. If done well, if could break the bone or knee joint itself, and I doubt there has been any perp in history who could carry out the crime after such an injury.
If you have fallen and the guy is over you, lash out and aim for the knee joint, kicking straight out.
If this is applied correctly, there will be no need for the police to hunt after the perp, he wun be going anywhere. Though you might also run the risk of battery or assualt. -

Erm, use your imagination. You can pratice this life-saving move by using any thing that resembles a leg as your target. Speed and power, kick down at an angle like you are stomping diagonally down.Originally posted by elmoloveyou:Any pics to come along wif yr descriptions??? -

Nah... not that I know of. Of accuracy, try praticing to get your strike dead on hamsters you release on the floor. They present a moving target to get your accuracy honed. Remember to clean up after that though.
Kidding about the last part... Might have pictures of hamsters after pratice...
Nah... -
