THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)
An Article from Neena Susan Thomas
“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

THIS COULD ACTUALLY SAVE A LIFE.”
Texas State Legislature is considering passing a law that would mandate teachers to out young gay kids to their parents
At first glance, this new bill proposed by Texas Sen. Konni Burton seems harmless. Do a little digging, however, and its intention is crystal clear: The bill would require teachers to out LGBTQ students to their parents. The public knows this because Burton said as much herself.
This is graphic but VERY important. I’m MF TIED of pro lifers who cannot see further than the end of their nose
I just got broken up with and now I want to die.
Should I tell my mom?
I mean she knew my gf and she also new that we where together and I need confort.
I guess I should
Ignore this post if you want its nothing inportant i just need to put everything im feeling somewhere or i might do something I will regnet.
I FUCKING HATE beaing a teenager!!!
So today we will celebrate my birthday but I dont get to wish for what I want...
So here in Sweden when you turn 15 you get to start driving, well not driving "real" cars but moped and something called EPA or a Traktor which is a car you can only drive like 30kmh, so anyways that is basically what I have to wish for because even though I already have a moped I'm TERRIFIED of it like I'm fr scared of riding my bike because the possibility of falling and getting hurt like exists.
I just want to wish for stuffed animals and stickers.
I dont want to have responsibilities I just want to be a kid...
So thats why I'm crying so much that I'm shaking...
Also another thing is that the boy that I love so so much is so busy that he like never has time for me, I mean we used to call every day but now it has been forever since we even talked.
And I know that I both have separation anxiety and I get overly attached to people to fast but that doesn't mean that when people don't pay me enough attention I will just live with it!
As someone who has been an outcast and for periods of time not really having any friends (end of year 6 specifically, was the worst time of my life and I even tried to take my life) I just want people to pay attention to me and listen to what I have to say...
And I feel like he does that, he is one of the few people that I feel treat me like I'm a person and that he really cares for me, and that is why him not talking to me is especially hard.
Sorry if this is all over the place
Edit: also my period is late... again, like man it's nice in a way but still I feel like I have been eating a lot and so I feel like it should not be late but for some reason it is

Hello, I am Mounir Raed I am 19 years old from gaza palestine 🇵🇸🍉 .
Before After
I was born in Gaza and live there. I worked in the field of sanitary supplies. With a lot of sadness, pain and sorrow, today on behalf of my grieving family My family consists of my father, Raed, who is 47 years old, my mother, Amani, who is 39 years old, and me along with my five siblings: my sister Rasha, who is 22 years old and married; my sister Rana, who is 21 years old and married; myself, Monir; my brother Mohamed, who is 16 years old; and my little sister Sham, who is 4 years old. Now, my entire family has become displaced after our house was destroyed, fleeing from bombings and death. Every day, we suffer more.
We are living in a school that has been turned into a shelter, housing many displaced people. Our lives have been upended multiple times due to the enemy's relentless bombings and destruction, forcing us to flee from death. My married sisters and their young children are with us in this dire situation, enduring severe shortages of food, water, and medicine, and we have received no assistance.
My mother, She's suffers from severe asthma and has undergone multiple surgeries with no improvement, depends on medication, inhalers, and oxygen for her chronic conditions. The ongoing conflict in Gaza has depleted the supply of these critical medications, causing her condition to worsen. As if that weren’t enough, diseases are spreading among us due to the accumulated garbage, as there are no waste disposal systems and trash is piling up in the streets where we live.
Our situation is heart-wrenching and desperate.
We are engulfed in suffering and despair.
I plead for any support you can offer, even a small donation, to help us survive, find a peaceful place away from this relentless war, destruction, and death, and secure a safe and hopeful future.
I am sending you a plea to revive even a small part of hope.I have lost my home
, which was everything to me. I have so many memories of it, with my brothers who are everything to me as well. I lost my best friends, I lost my university, and I lost my job because of the war on Gaza and I also lost my shop 🥀🤷♂️
After Before
Everything was gone, the dream was lost, and nothing but became ashes. This war began and the smell of blood spread everywhere😔💔
Allow me to describe to you life here in Gaza. It is like a very small cage in which chicks (baby chickens) are placed. They have nothing to do with it. A bowl of water is placed for them, and you find them quarreling over this simple portion of water as well as food, and the aid planes that resemble a person being shot down Food crumbs on the cage and you find them fighting too
and this is our situation, but there is only one way to survive, which is to get out.
But going out will cost you a lot. It will cost you to forget your quiet and simple life, and forget your dreams and ambitions that you worked for and struggled for.
It will cost you money that you cannot afford, so I created this link for your contribution in saving what can be saved for someone like me who has an ambition and a dream that he wants to achieve and wants to complete his education. In order to be more successful.
I ask you to help and contribute to supporting me in order to leave the stricken Gaza Strip, and continue my life away from the ongoing wars there. I am striving hard to rebuild my life after the war.

We all could benefit from or help others from this post. It truly is a shame acts like this happen.
Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister
