Could we get a thread going for the discussion of women's self defense and weapons?
I go to school in a very unsafe town with a lot of gang violence. I avoid bad neighborhoods and going out after dark but I still feel the need to carry something to defend myself with. I'm not old enough to own a handgun (need to be 21 in my state but you can have a shotgun at 18) and my home state also doesn't have concealed carry reciprocity with the state I go to school in so the whole thing is complicated
Instead I carry mace and a baton with me when I go out.
I'm currently taking Aikido and have taken multiple RAD courses
I'm taking self defense more seriously after I was (correctively) raped by a man who I thought was my friend last year. I wasn't strong enough to fight him off then and I'm trying to work out every day so I can be strong enough to defend myself if something like that ever happens again.

Focus on running if you're really worried about that, unless you're on roids you're going to be unimaginably weaker compared to the average guy. Especially if he's crazy/ fucked up enough to be trying to rape you.

I'm sorry you're dealing with that, and I give you a lot of credit for doing something proactive about it. One thing about pepper spray is that it's always good to have decontaminant wipes with you in case it ever accidentally gets in your eyes or someone else's eyes when hey are not attacking you.

Kind of messed up to kill a rapist though, even if they're bad.

We need to put them in jail for 6 months and then let them out on the streets again. Everyone knows that what Tony Blair said was correct: If they commit rape it was because their benefits were not high enough.

Nah kill all the rapists and pedophiles. Decrease the population by killing degenerate scum. Winning on all levels tbh.

If we killed all rapists and pedos the world's population would be halved lmao

Not really. Besides we need a huge decrease in numbers as a species so why not start with the scum that nobody wants?

Anyone else here practice aikido?

Now I know you may be thinking, "Why take a weakling martial art like Aikido seriously when I am learning Kendo?" I can see why you would think that, how can a peaceful martial arts like Aikido beat a powerful one like Kendo?

Well, I have a story to share with you.

Years ago, I was a Kendoka, I thought I was the toughest kid in high school, I would pick fights, and kick ass. I was full of hate, until I picked a fight with the wrong dude. He was a Japanese exchange student, I still remember his name, Noboru Takeda.

I picked on him because of his hilarious and thick Japanese accent. I told him I was going to beat him so hard, he would go back to China(Yeah, I was a little racist prick.), he never said anything back, made me wanted to kick his ass even harder.

Well, here comes the fight. I threw men and do strikes, he dodged them like I was a mere white belt. I was tiring out and he knew, I saw the smirk on his face that made me raged hard. I put all my strength in one amazing tsuki, and he grabbed past it to my wrist and threw me over. My back smacked on the hard cement ground, and I was knocked out for who knows how long.

When I woke up I was in the school infirmary, I asked the nurse who brought me here, and you guessed it, Noboru Takeda. The next day, he wasn't at school, he was back in Japan, and I never got to thank him, for saving my life and showing me the light. I soon learned that he was an Aikidoka and have been practicing Aikido ever since to show my thanks to him.

I don't think it's mean to vent justified so much as indicating the """purpose""" of the rape was "you'd like dick if you just tried it".

That is to say so-called corrective rape merely indicates specificity in that the victim is gay or asexual and the rapist knows this.

WTF Murica?

Hoe idk, in New Zealand a fucking mace is considered a 2nd class weapon as well as tazors which police barely get to have due to the 1983 arms act, the system is very much skewed in favor of the perpetrator. Living in the inner city to be closer to university is some scary shit but the old town I lived in used to be a shit hole rampant with gang activity and lowkey drug production in shared homes, the dairy down the street of my family house was robbed by a guy with a fucking crowbar.

I'd say think carefully before moving here because of Trump, the socio-economically feeble in this country are trapped with the idea that the movie "colors" is real. Even when armed for self defence your still looking at manslaughter charges anon something you shouldn't be so blasé over.

The law in Canada says that it's illegal to carry a weapon for the purpose of self defense, but you can use a "weapon of opportunity" if you need to. For example if someone has a baseball bat lying around they can use it during a home invasion. I carry dog spray because I'm "afraid of dogs" wink wink
