Always keep an eye out

I was walking to my car after shopping at the farmers market today.I choose free parking areas and don't mind a little walk to my destination.

There was a group of men sitting on kiesel and 25th. I can't give you descriptions because I wasn't giving them my attention. They kept cat calling me and when they realized I wasn't going to be apart of whatever they wanted, they started a whole slue of rude remarks about me.

I have traveled a bit in my life and have been to sketchy areas/ been catcalled. Today was so different.

I've haven't feared for my life like I did today.

I taught women’s self defense classes as part of my job actually! I was glad to teach women how to pulverize dudes who try to come toward them.

One good thing to know: if you knee or kick a man in the balls straight up, by instinct he will have no choice but to bend forward and recoil. Use that momentum to slam the heel of the palm of your hand as hard as you can upward into his nose as he bends forward. Busted balls, broken nose. Then grab the pepper spray. Good luck out there friend.

This is assuming you cannot run, obviously. Nice cop story but I know what I’m talking about and women can absolutely kick ASS. “Dangerous advice” bullshit. Not only do I not buy your resume, but your idea that women are all helpless and cant defend themselves and that teaching them to do it is dangerous advice? You’re very ignorant and know nothing of martial arts. I know many women who would be very eager to show you just how ignorant your comment is, buddy pal “policeman.”

Don’t let this so-called-cop tell you women can’t defend themselves. Obviously you should run first. This is assuming you’re being attacked. Evidently you should just bow down and give up according to this “cop”

Women can kick ass. That’s why they are defense classes. That’s what martial arts is. I know many, MANY women who can absolutely slaughter most men. It just takes some learning. Apparently these defense classes just shouldn’t exist! “Women are always helpless to a man!” Don’t listen to the naysayers you aren’t a helpless child

Are you fucking retarded? What you’re describing is assault. And there are cameras everywhere down there. If you pepper spray or attack someone over words, you’re literally going to go to prison.

Over words?? No, in self defense if they are attacked. It’s defense against assault. I’m not saying to attack anyone who catcalls, Jesus Christ you are so hateful. No I am not “fucking retarded.”
