Girls, what do we have for self-defense?

[Viola]

Inspired by this topic

That’s why I have a traumatic pistol.

Who else has a gas canister, or a stun gun for example?

[Juss]

Your best self-defense is your sly smile and sparkle in your eyes)))))

[Venus]

Your best self-defense is your sly smile and sparkle in your eyes)))))

Unfortunately, this does not work on inadequate people(( (

[Local Runner]

Trauma rules!!! But for the wife it’s not an option, she’s afraid she closes his eyes when shooting) and the best option is a husband nearby!) Well, or a guy

[Juss]

Strecoza, you want to say that "why kung- fu and karate, if there is a small TT"?)))

[Venus]

Strecoza, you want to say that "Why kung fu and karate if there is a small TT"?)))

))) Not all people can practice martial arts. And, I’m not sure that karate will help with inadequacy, but trauma is quite possible.

[Juss]

Strecoza, I think that all these are lyrics, inadequate to unfortunately more and more. But I also think the girls themselves need to be a little more careful. Less running around the city alone at night, for example, and visiting those establishments where the reputation is not so tarnished.

[Venus]

Strecoza, I think that all this lyrics, unfortunately, more and more inadequate. But I also think that the girls themselves need to be a little more careful. Stop rushing around the city alone at night, for example, and go to those establishments where the reputation is not so tarnished.

Inadequate people do not only meet at night. If you drive a car, you know that probably every second person there is inadequate. You can meet them in a store or just walking in the park during the day. And, passers-by will film on their phones and rarely will anyone intervene, and in this case, saving drowning people is the work of the drowning people themselves.

[Tanya]

I have a shocker, but in principle it’s more for dogs, because it’s unlikely that I personally will be able to use it against a person, if only because it won’t hit hard through clothes, but will only make you angry, and you still need to be able to reach the enemy’s neck .
When I was 20, I bought a gas canister and walked around with it so cool and confident in my safety. And then one day I was on the last bus, at about 10 pm, I got off and a drunk man followed me, grabbed me by the hand and pulled me into the bushes... well, I’m so businesslike, I pull out the spray can and have almost pressed it, when some guy snatches it from my shouting, you’re about to splash it in your face! It turns out I actually almost knocked myself out. My defender turned out to be a military man, a young lieutenant, in honor of my salvation from a gas spray and a drunk guy, I was then invited to meet him and his friends on February 23rd. But that is another story.

[Juss]

Tanya, I demand the continuation of the story? It’s possible in a personal message) )))

[Tanya]

....in honor of my salvation from a gas canister and a drunk guy, I was then invited to celebrate February 23 with him and his friends. But that’s another story.

Cool! There are still men in this world!

[Viola]

I have a gas canister, my husband bought it for me, I used it once against a dog

[Bully Carrie]

The best self-defense is running and screaming. You can only run.

[Viola]

You can only run.

it’s difficult in heels

[Tanya]

Well, running is not always the answer, and screaming is also not the answer, especially if protection from an aggressive dog is required.. And about running in heels.. Once, when I was 18 years old, I had to run away from a disco from one scumbag, so what kind of shoes were there, I took them off, hands and ran barefoot in tights across the city. If you want to live, you definitely don’t mind the tights and you don’t feel the unevenness of the road. The instinct of self-preservation is paramount.

[niqk]

If your avatar has your photo, they were seriously chasing you!

[◊_NeBo[_Na_]LaDoNi_◊]

I probably don’t go to such places where you need to protect yourself from someone.. although I also always return from work late on the last bus.. I don’t carry anything with me.. local drunks are just for me they smile and make way good-naturedly when they meet...

[Beluga]

For self-defense, the main thing is the willingness to fight back, self-control.

And who/what should you defend yourself from? From aggression, from attack. I’m not talking about natural phenomena now. Although they also have something about aggression.

Apparently, I expressed the idea in my post too briefly for everyone to understand and accept it.
Calmness, even for a split second , helps not to fall into panic, fuss and actions against oneself in defense of oneself. This second moment helps to assess the situation to the advantage of the defending side. And this is not a logical long blah blah in the head: here I am like this, and here I am like that. This is a sober look, instead of a "drunk" - fearful one. A large spider is crawling over you...what are your actions?

It happens. So, I’m thinking of starting a topic here on the forum on how to avoid aggression and live in peace.
And Dragonfly, with its topic today about the murder of a woman, is directly pushing to do this.
Cops, crime, criminality, religion and psychology with philosophy - I have something to say about this...And about justice. But there, I’m afraid, they will accuse me of sectarianism... and they will not want to check this very justice in reality. Beliefs, alas, are like tram rails that lead to the final stop-ring. But the road still exists outside the rails.

I completely agree.. But an injury may not help either. The most important thing in such a situation is not what I have in my purse... an injury or stones... damn it..
the most important thing in such a situation = is whether I can use that injury... and I I know the answer for myself... I won’t be able to shoot from a trauma... it’s realistic that from the first seconds or there, at the very beginning of the "conflict" when time goes by literally seconds... and then.. when already I’ll get the first blow for my “intractability,” then I’ll forget about the injury and the damn stones...
although I could throw a stone... it’s only a damn stone’s use....
I go, damn it "I go".. well, sometimes I visit the "sports club"... my husband goes there regularly.. and I do that sometimes... it’s just that there are such interesting girls who work out there, and in all in the sense that it is sometimes better, for the husband’s own safety, and to control who he is "fighting", "fighting" with in his MMA, or whatever it is correctly called...
Why I.. there There are such “animals” that it’s scary to erase such prana... sometimes they have conversations... well, I listen, too, sometimes.. it’s interesting.. so.. sometimes you can hear from such a person.. how It’s just like that, I can take such blows in the ring, but then a light poke and they knocked me off... i.e. Somewhere in a street fight he was simply "knocked out", or how to put it correctly... a person who is ready to stand up for himself and most importantly is used to doing this....
i.e., if such a guy can be knocked out with one blow , then what can you say for me... until "ass" I know there will be that trauma in my bag, if I am not psychologically ready to use it (((
conclusion, I return home late, I always call my husband so that he can help me met... well, sometimes with friends we can go home together, if we go in the same direction... something like this...

and you need a gas spray like a whistle in a bathhouse, damn it... it doesn’t always help against dogs either... although if you damn it spray it in the “very face” of the person who is attacking me, it might still help... but who the hell will wait for me while I do it... and yes, the spray has almost no effect at all on a person under drug or drunk...
damn.. the whole "letter" turned out... in short, sorry for interfering in something that was not my business... where the hell am I and where is the "rebuff" to rapists...

Okay , when I have a husband, I don’t, but as a traumatist I regularly shoot at the shooting range and shoot very well. Until now, it was enough to shoot in the air and the aggressive man calms down and is afraid. If you see something alarming, you just take it out and cock it and that’s it.

[Murena0314]

Fortunately, I did not find myself in a situation where the use of any means of self-defense was required. Well, to be honest, how to apply them? For women, this item, a spray can, a shocker, or even an injury, will be in their purse, or even in a backpack, which are convenient and fashionable. So, in a stressful situation, and it will be stressful, well, I won’t have time, I won’t be able to get it and use this product, hanging somewhere at the bottom, and maybe even in a bag, so that it doesn’t leak. So, there are two options: if she’s all beautiful, in a miniskirt or an elegant dress, in heels, in war paint, then go only with a reliable man, for me, with my husband. And in all other situations, somewhere alone, and if not yet in crowded places, dress and make up simpler, in general, do not provoke.

What principles? No need for empty words, explain with examples. You write about composure, but where does it come from? You wrote that nothing will help if the situation is not worked out to the point of automaticity, because the situation is stressful. Where will composure come from in this stressful situation? He won’t be there either, but the presence of an injury and the ability to deal with it can just give you confidence.


There are three big misconceptions. First, if a person is polite and cultured, then he has nothing to fear. It seems like if you were beaten, then most likely it was your own fault. This is wrong. They beat everyone, and probably even more often the polite ones. In our country, kindness is mistaken for weakness.
The second misconception is that troubles happen to young girls in miniatures and bright makeup. Everyone is raped. And, dressed modestly and aged. The principle applies: whoever catches your eye is the victim. Last year, a female official was killed in Moscow. An elderly lady, the first version was that her murder was related to professional duties. Then it turned out that she had been raped. They tracked him through cameras, and the killer is a migrant. He explained that he just hadn’t had sex for a long time, but he killed so as not to get caught. And, if you look at violent crimes, there are not so many bright ones there.
The third misconception is that if a man is nearby, then this is a 100% guarantee that everything will be fine with you by default. Unfortunately this is also not true. He is not always able to protect, and sometimes, on the contrary, he is a catalyst for conflict. In which he and his wife suffer.

Of course, injury also will not provide a 100% guarantee of safety. But, if you do not behave defiantly, avoid deserted places, especially at night, and have a traumatic pistol with you, then you have a better chance of not being raped and killed than without injury.

Stop by the service station because something is knocking in the car, or how to stretch the money until salary, and from salary start saving for vacation. There is no fear.
It’s just that one day you end up in the same place and at the same time with a criminal. Coincidence. And whether you are afraid of him or not does not matter. You are his victim and if you have nothing to repel aggression, then your fate is completely in his hands, and if you have, then it’s 50/50.

Stop by the service station because something is knocking in the car, or how to stretch the money until salary, and from salary start saving for vacation. There is no fear.
It’s just that one day you end up in the same place and at the same time with a criminal. Coincidence. And whether you are afraid of him or not does not matter. You are his victim and if you have nothing to repel aggression, then your fate is completely in his hands, and if you do, then it’s 50/50.

you wrote, that they attacked you in the entrance, now you have this fear in your subcortex. You may not think about it, you may think about children or work, but fear is in your blood.
You are writing about it now because you are afraid.

This topic is about self-defense. I write something that can be useful in life and one day save a life, and here you are spreading a whole philosophy, plus stereotypes and misconceptions.
The day before yesterday, or three days ago, in Khabarovsk, a man was mauled to death by a dog. 38 years old, went to work in the morning. Here is a grown man who couldn’t even protect himself from aggression. Well, you will say that he was afraid. A week ago, dogs attacked a little girl. She was definitely not afraid of them, but went up to the dog to pet it. There is video from the scene. There was no fear.
We wrote above about the confidence that will stop the aggressor. If this is an adequate person, then he can. But we are dealing with the inadequate ones here. People with mental problems. Normal people will not rape and kill. People under the influence of alcohol and drugs. No amount of confidence will stop them from an act of aggression.
I understand that you have come up with a beautiful version about fear. But fear is a physiological state. It appears at certain moments and goes away when the situation is resolved. There are uncontrollable panic attacks, but this is already a pathology. In such cases, you need to consult a doctor. There are anxiety states - this is also not the norm.
Look through crime reports and you will understand that it is not a matter of fear at all.
There is, of course, the position that if you don’t think about bad things, then nothing will happen to me, but it is even dangerous for mental health. Because stress trains our psyche, forcing it to solve new and new problems in a limited time, and a passive, comfortable state detrains. And, of course, such a position will not be able to protect you and save you from the aggressor.

a gas canister, or a stun gun

This is good for self-soothing and self-confidence, and also for minor conflicts (from the series - what? - what are you? , from dogs and excited alcoholics)
