This past summer I didn't go into an elevator with 4 men. foh... One said there's room and I said id wait. Another one yelled as the doors were closing that they weren't gonna do anything to me and I don't need to be worried .
When I got downstairs they were in front of the building and one of them said he wishes he was stuck in the elevator with me... you have to ignore them or remove yourself |
I feel ya !! I would've done the same thing.

sorry OP. It can get scary sometimes.
Most of the things mentioned are things I do or have done. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. It's terrible that women need to have all these defense methods at the ready while they're out just grocery shopping or doing any other normal daily activity. It would be so much easier (better) if men just stopped doing this.

So I was called "stuck up" and made a mockery of. Fool followed me, then when I lied and said I had a boyfriend, got mad because he said he just wanted to be friends. Then started shouting for me to not be stuck up, inducing nothing but eye rolls from me because people were watching. I'm done with being polite. I don't know what's wrong with east coast men but a lot of them need a healthy dose of tact.

Ok, so where can we buy mace from?
I take boxing classes but a bottle of mace can't hurt.

Oh, but they don't hear your wisdom though. Their egos and feelings of privilege are way too loud.

I was searching groupon for self defense classes. They approach you in such a rude way but will snatch your wig off if you react accordingly.

last time I ordered, I think I got it here http://www.thehomesecuritysuperstore.com/pepper-spray-gaw-c=30?gclid=CIa0upOF1LsCFYQ7OgodDD0AawI got fox labs (what they say the police use) and sabre brands. I keep one everywhere in the house, also in car and purse. Also got a couple Lipstick and pen disguised types. eta: these are very strong; and if you spray it, you need to be running while spraying lol, or it will incapacitate YOU too.

mhm.. me too. like i can fight fairly well but this fighting i wanna do.. krav maga.. teaches you how defend yourself in all types of predicaments.. I've been reading reviews and their classes mock scenarios like if you're stuck on your back, in a tight area, multiple ppl, if there are knives involved, if you're disoriented/drunk (they spin you around several times while blind folded) and lots of other scenarios… I've always wanted to do it but especially now.. sounds like fun and really beneficial.
