Here is something that actually lowers rape rather than just sells more guns.
Women trained to resist sexual assault far less likely to be raped study CTV News
Female university students who completed 12 hours of training on resisting sexual assaults experienced far fewer rapes and attempted rapes, according to a new Canadian study.
The study involved 893 female Canadian students who were either given the training -- known as the Enhanced Assess Acknowledge Act Sexual Assault Resistance Program (EAAA) -- or formed a control group where they were asked to read brochures.
One year later, those who took the EAAA had experienced 46 per cent fewer completed rapes (5.2 per cent versus 9.8 per cent) and 63 per cent fewer attempted rapes (3.4 per cent versus 9.3 per cent) than the control group.
And what happens when he punches her in the face?
Where? You can't just walk up and punch someone in public and I believe the training teaches you how to not be caught in a situation like that in private. Self defense is part of the training. Quite amazing results really.
If a man corners a woman on a dark street somewhere, in my home, etc., and wants to rape her, a lot of times he isn't going to mess around. He is just going to punch in the face. What do you think would happen in that situation? Do you honestly think that a woman is going to be able to fight him off with her brute strength?
In some cases yes. It certainly has happened many times. Do you not want to lower rapes? Look at the results. Even attempted rapes are much lower.
One year later, those who took the EAAA had experienced 46 per cent fewer completed rapes (5.2 per cent versus 9.8 per cent) and 63 per cent fewer attempted rapes (3.4 per cent versus 9.3 per cent) than the control group.
No Brain, if a man is determined to rape a woman and punches her in the face, she is not going to be able to physically fight him off in most cases. THAT is why men rape women to begin with!!! Because they can! Also, some women are killed because of trying to fight off their attacker. I would take my chances with shooting him in the nuts, thank you.
Hey, I'm all in favor of teaching girls not to take chances with their safety and not to put themselves into risky situations (like getting drunk at frat parties). I'm all in favor of teaching them to fight back physically, if only to give themselves an extra second or two to draw their weapon. But there's no way in Hell I would teach any girl I care about to depend ONLY on her ability to keep herself safe unarmed.
