A swift kick to the jewels ends nonsense like that quick. Sometimes violence is the answer.
Absolutely. If someone violates you, then you are well within your right to protect yourself. We need to teach women that sometimes it's OK to fight back.
Having said that, I was assaulted in college in a library of all places. Signs had been posted in the bathrooms and study rooms about women needing to be vigilant for sexual attacks. Thankfully, I got away before I was actually raped, but it was close enough that I'll never forget seeing this guy's *****. My response wasn't to fight back or scream for help (at least I don't remember screaming). I got away from him, notified the library staff, and then left the building. In that moment, I just left and ran away from the building. Why I didn't stay to make sure the guy was identified and held accountable is beyond me. Flight or fight is an interesting thing. My boss did follow-up with campus security the next day on my behalf. But I didn't want to talk about it or meet with them. I wanted to forget it happened.
