Summary: How to deal with "Close Encounters of the Wrong Kind"

•  Examine your attitude, and learn to be your own bodyguard, protector, Lioness.  

• Do not protect your attacker; instead protect your family and loved ones.  

• Think how would affect your parents, husband, boyfriend or children if you are: 

•  Maimed

• Raped

• Killed

• Open your mind to the necessity of applying pain and/or injury so that you can return safely to your loved ones

•  Get rid of cultural conditioning that isn’t designed for dealing with violent attacks, such as worrying about being rude or hurting anyone, or feeling silly.  Ask yourself if the deer running from a wolf,  is worrying about the wolf’s feelings.

•  You are not responsible for what happens to a violent felon who is attempting to rape or murder you.

• Co-operation probably will not work. Co-operating with a Rapist = Rape.   Co-operating with a Rapist-Murderer = Rape and Death. You have to  make your own decisions about the threat you are facing.

  Here's a link to specific techniques you can use

• If you want to feel guilty about hurting them afterwards, even though you have no objective reason to do so…that's OK, just be there to indulge yourself.

• Stun, Smash, Bite, Gouge, Blind, Disembowel, Maim, Cripple, Castrate, Kill Him/Them, but live yourself.  If it were your sister or mother or daughter, you would be a  Lioness.  Be one for yourself!  

• Set this as a Trigger = Any unwanted touch or invasion of your personal space should be interpreted as an Attack, If it occurs after you have made clear that you do not want to be bothered.
