It sucks that as women we cannot talk about our specific location online without the risk of some lunatic deciding to do something stupid

Not that I am scared but I also don't want to waste my life in courts after killing the lunatic.

Understandable tbh. Makes sense. I honestly wish more women felt like this, are trained / taught to not feel forever vulnerable. Knew how to use the greatest equalizer between men and women. The one tool that makes the playing field of violence truly level.

@Coppercoil

I am grateful that most people are not like me. Too aggressive and I have phases when I exprience complete lack of empathy. It is not necessarily good. I have taken it too far and I still regret that.

But yes, women should be trained to protect themselves and their loved ones. The world would be better.

@Miram i am not one to go around calling things sexist.. but i believe it is systematic sexism prevalent in most societies, perpetuated through media and general culture as well. That women shouldnt need to learn how to defend themselves, not just kick and screen, blow a whistle, pepper spray and run, but to be given the training and confidence to be aggressive if ever needed. That the application of extreme violence is sometimes necessary and not just something men must know how to do.. and conversly, men are encouraged in movies to need to be violent just to be a man.

Its all sexist really. This also reminded me of a movie where these women had to learn the hard way, in the worst possible way, this sort of thing. I couldnt watch it without seeing you in this movie.. and even made me cry.

@Coppercoil I agree with that. It is sexist and stupid. In a healthy controlled milieu there is no reason why people should not learn self protection.

And it should not be only up to men. Two is stronger than one. And three is stronger than two. Numbers matter in war and so is the power of will and preparation to survive. Things are unpredictible but there is also a level of control.

I will never watch that movie. Too relatable haha

I only watch movies that are happy and have happy endings. Never war.
