Saw the post in the womens room, couldn't post there so here is a short ABC Video of the woman and how she defended herself. About 3 minutes.

Good for her, nothing more empowering than taking responsibility for your own safety.

 

[Gunny]

I agree.

 

[Queen]

I agree.

Damn, I would have made a helluva a straight chick. 

 

[Gunny]

I suspect you are a hell of a chick, straight or not .

It's nice to see a woman who didn't just cower, cover her head with her arms, and cry.

Good for her, the proper response to attack is brutal retaliation

Good for her, the proper response to attack is brutal retaliation

The "be nice, be polite - try to reason your way out of it - why would anyone want to hurt me, I didn't do anything to them" response is what is ingrained from birth, it's hard to overcome.  Fortunately, self defense classes help overcome this.

As for brutal retaliation, I learned.
