How would you feel or what would you say if

@SW-User Problem is, guys who don’t take rejection well also have no problem getting violent with a woman. So [b]then[/b] what ?

@bijouxbroussard Just as many are toothless and spineless. You make your own call. If you want to just take it and walk away that's up to you.

@SW-User I want to [b]survive[/b] the encounter.

@bijouxbroussard Then it's down to your own judgement.

@bijouxbroussard kneecaps and eyeballs. Throat if you can. Men kinda of expect to get kicked in the balls when in a fight with a woman. They also expect slaps. So don't do those things. Instead, kick them hard just below or above the knee. Not with you toe but with the side of your foot. HARD. Poke him in the eye, don't scratch. Jab your knuckles into their adams apple. Don't be dainty about. Be pissed. But most of all, scream FIRE FIRE!! People will coming running and call for help if they think there's a fire.

@KittenfromHell I’ve taken self-defense and martial arts classes, thank you. So if I have no other options I could probably defend myself. But it amuses me a little when a [b]man[/b] suggests that a woman escalate a situation where no one has put hands on her. I’m just not willing to be badly injured or killed just because someone’s said something stupid to me.

@bijouxbroussard Well thanks for assuming I'm a man. I'm a woman. Was born female and ran with it. You said you wanted to survive an encounter. That's assumes something might happen to put your life in jeopardy I simply supplied ways to free yourself and get help.

@KittenfromHell I didn’t assume [b]you[/b] were a man. I was speaking to [b]both[/b] of you. I initially addressed a man’s reply. He had suggested that the OP say something nasty and derisive to someone already insecure and volatile. I observed that it can escalate a situation and put a woman in actual physical danger. Then [b]you[/b] came in, with self defense tips. I took self defense classes, for the reasons you’ve stated. But why escalate a situation just to get the last word ?
