ORIGINAL: Kaliko Does that make our plight any less deserving of attention? No, not to me. I do not appreciate feeling creeped out, thanks. In fact, I get downright fucking scared sometimes. But, it doesn't make it any more deserving of attention, either. What I see and hear out there is an awful lot about how other people need to change so that women who feel victimized won't feel victimized any longer. The reason why there is a tendency to feel more protective towards women, is also the same as why there is more tendency to feel more protective towards children and elderly people. Because, generally, these 3 categories are generally physically weaker. If a man is stalked by a creepy woman, unless she seriously is larger than him by many times, most of the time, I trust the man can defend himself. But as women, when someone is much stronger physically, we can't over-power him by our wits. When it comes to sheer strength, we will lose. Of course we are scared. So sometimes even if the man truly didn't mean any harm, but if his behaviour leads us to believe he does mean some harm, we would naturally feel afraid and alarmed by it. And in an ideal world, we hope to never have to feel this way, like always feel safe around men, but it's not an ideal world. So yea, campaigns to educate men on etiquette with women, is probably always gonna continue. I considered myself a very very strong woman. And I'm also trained in self-defense. I did an experiment with my x-husband once. I told him, I gonna wear, tight skinny jeans and t-shirt, basically something hard to get rape in, as it's hard to tear the clothes off. And I am gonna fight him with all my might. And his goal is to penetrate me. I told him, his not allowed to use restrains at all. He has to do it by pure physical force. And he also is not allowed to hit me. Just purely by his strength, how his gonna get to penetrate me. I didn't take it easy on him and really gave him my full fight. I was confident, he'd never be able to do it. I was shock from that experience how helpless I was, in a real situation, if the man wanted to really use his strength on you, he could win. My x-husband successfully "raped" me. Despite me kicking and smacking him, I gave him my best fight, to test the theory. What he did was exhaust the hell out of me, until I got weaker and weaker in my struggles, as these things take alot of energy, you really lose strength constantly fighting to defend yourself. And the fight was long but successful on his end in the end. My x-husband was not as athletic than me. Infact, I was fitter than him. I work out way more and in many play love making, I imagined myself stronger than him but he was just giving way to me. So that made the result even more shocking to me. How strong men can be when they really want to show you their full strength. I am not even a light, small petite woman. I'm big and strong.
