Geez, I really hope you're wrong. I gotta say, the chicks I hang out with would not be the ideal target for a predator to choose.
We may paint our nails and wear sandals and glittery toe rings, but I gotta tell you, I pity the fella who tries me or one of my friends.
Somebody is gonna come out of it hurt the worst and it ain't gonna be me, dog or gun present or not.
In fact, a gun would be my very last resort in a self defense scenario, and the vast majority of the time, a gun would be a moot point. In the fairly rare event you'd be attacked in your own home, who is always walking around with a gun within hand's reach, locked and loaded 24/7.
Not to hijack too much more, but every woman needs to take martial arts based self defense and drill, drill, drill those techniques until it's pure muscle memory.
Like, I said, some criminal tries me and he's gonna get an azz kickin for his trouble.
And then I'll gripe about how I broke a nail! | A friend of mine was walking to work a while back when 2 dudes walked by her and one grabbed her purse. She spun around SO FAST and clocked the guy right in the jaw. So hard she hurt her hand. But she hurt his face too. The guy pulled on it so hard that he broke the strap. The 2 guys are now pretty much in shock when she asks WTF was he doing? His buddy's response: "Uhhh, he was just trying to say Hi...." Her response, "You don't say Hi by grabbing somebody's purse!"
I know I'm still off topic, but on the whole alpha male thing... did you know there's a species of fish where there is one, very colourful alpha male, one less colourful beta female and a whole bunch of "genderless" others? If something should happen to the alpha male, the beta female changes genders, becomes more colourful, and assumes the role of alpha male. Then the most mature "genderless" fish assumes her previous role as beta female. I'm pretty sure they can revert back also, from alpha male to beta female (say if a new alpha male happens to come along - i.e: gene flow from a different school), and the beta female can revert back to genderless. Isn't that fascinating?! I learned this (and a lot of other neat stuff) in ecology. |
