• Use the hand you write with.
• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.
• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when they duck their head or break your hand on their jaw. If you want to get away quickly, or end a fight, aim for the chest, or the ribs. If you really want to do some damage, e.g., you’re being attacked, aim for the throat, which will make it hard for your attacker to breathe for a hot minute.
• When you punch, you want to aim and hit with your first two knuckles. Not the flats of your fingers, and not your ring or pinky knuckles, which can break more easily. You can use your weight, if you’re on your feet, to add wallop, and spring into a punch with your feet and torso.
Useful information, esp. if you haven’t taken self defense.
I reblogged this once before to add this and I’ll do it again…
keep your wrist straight.
You can also risk breaking your wrist if you allow it to bend. I actually can’t believe this isn’t in there.
Other good pointers:
if your attacker is male, go for his junk - especially if he’s wearing loose pants. There’s no sportsmanship when it comes to assault so fuck them balls UP
punching pretty much ANYWHERE in the face is going to actually hurt you a LOT (just think - you’re punching your bones into their bones and ow). If you’re going for the face, my suggestion is to strick upwards with your palm.
see that meaty portion highlighted in red? There’s a lot of muscle and fat right there which makes it excellent for striking. Hold your hand as shown and aim for the nose or chin (though I’ve been told in extreme circumstances, doing this to the nose can be fatal but I’ve never really heard if this is true or not) and just aim upwards
other delicate areas:
the shin (hurts like a bitch if you kick it right - also, you can hit this spot if you’re being held in a choke-hold and if your attacker has to move in order to stop you from kicking him, he’ll have to angle his body so as to expose his stomach and crotch to the wild spastic jabbings of your elbows)
the solar plexus (either jab while holding your hand in a sort of spear position or use your elbows - unless you’re super strong, your punch probably won’t wind your attacker. Your elbow or a spear hand will, however)
Originally in (most) martial arts, you hit the solar plexus because it supposedly contained an important chakra. Now we know that it actually also contains like a bunch of necessary organs that are exposed just below your ribs and is also (roughly) where your diaphragm lives so getting punched there is not pleasant.
the clavicle (from experience, getting hit in your clavicle HURTS LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER. If you strike downwards with your knuckles, the person might just cry. Like I did.)
the ear (this is probably the best place to punch besides the throat. It’s all cartilage so it probably won’t hurt you all that much and most people will be like “DUDE YOU PUNCHED ME IN THE EAR WHAT THE HELL”)
the kidneys (this is harder to hit without training but if you somehow get your attacker’s back to face you, try to hit’em in the kidneys. Again, from experience, this FUCKING HURTS. You can’t really hit the kidneys from the front with any effect but from the back it is super painful)
if you’re held in a choke-hold, try turning your head so the forearm isn’t pressed into your throat. If you can position yourself right, you can sort of force your chin into the crook of the elbow, making you able to still receive (limited) oxygen and provide time for you to kick some shins or elbow some spleens and shit
-Also, remember that a guy’s junk is not an off-button. Don’t think that you can rely on a swift kick to the balls to immediately incapacitate him in an emergency. Adrenaline and anger can keep somebody going for a long time even through extreme pain, and if you expect to end a fight with a single groin-attack you might be caught off-guard when he doesn’t drop. Certainly go for it if you get the chance, but keep hitting him until the fight is over.
-Draw blood if you can, especially if you can draw it from the face or the eyes. Blood in the eyes is not just a good way to impair your attacker’s vision, it’s also a really good way to freak them out and let them know that they might be getting more than they bargained for by picking a fight with you.
-Elbows and knees are really powerful weapons. Elbows are very sharp and very strong and if you are in close-range they are often more effective than trying to throw a punch.
-Yelling and shouting makes you scary.
Nothing much to add to this, it’s pretty much all there. So. Reblog. Oh, also, it’s really easy to break a nose - go for the eyes too. All it takes to avoid a shot to the throat is tucking your chin. Also, that part about the ear - don’t punch. An open hand over the ear hurts a lot.

Also if you fuck up their face it’ll be easier for police to identify the attacker.
If someone gets you from behind and you cant punch them, go for the underside of the upper-arm. A bad pinch there is legit so painful because that skin is super sensitive. Also this cant be stressed enough, if the attacker is a guy then fucking rip his junk off.
When throwing a punch:

Feeding your animals (safe) but new-to-them foods is botha great source of enrichment for the and endless hilarity for you. I reccomend green beans because they’re unwieldly for them to eat so its an involved process.
This is so wholesome

There’s a reason why Dante is known in Italy as the “Supreme Poet”; his immortal verses are ingrained in our collective memory, having been studied by countless generations of students, and often find their way in our everyday speech as well. The following expressions, all taken from his Divine Comedy, will sound at least familiar to most Italians, even though not everyone uses them or knows their original meaning. See if you’ve already heard them!
1. Non ti curar di lor, ma guarda e passa
This is actually a common distortion of the original verse “Non ragioniam di lor, ma guarda e passa” (”Let us not speak of them, but look and pass on”), uttered by Vergil in the third Canto of the Inferno [Hell]. He’s urging Dante not to pay too much attention to the souls they’re passing by, belonging to those who took no sides in life and therefore did nothing to be remembered. It’s commonly used to say that one shouldn’t worry about others spreading slander about them, but just ignore it and go on with their life.
2. Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate
Also quoted as “Lasciate ogni speranza, o voi ch’entrate” (”Abandon all hope, ye who enter here”), it’s not really used as a saying, but you’ll have a hard time finding an Italian school without this sign hanging out or inside one or more classrooms. It’s supposed to be a part of the inscription found on top of the gates of Hell, so you can draw your own conclusions.
3. Senza infamia e senza lode
The original quote being “coloro / che visser sanza ‘nfamia e sanza lodo” (”those who lived without infamy and without praise”), this expression once again refers to those who took no sides in life, and is used in the third Canto of the Inferno. If something is “senza infamia e senza lode”, it means that it’s mediocre: not terrible, but not that great either.
4. Galeotto fu…
In the second circle of Hell are those overcome by lust; among them Dante comes across Francesca da Rimini and her lover, Paolo Malatesta. Francesca was in an arranged marriage with Giovanni Malatesta (also known as Gianciotto), but quickly fell in love with his younger brother, and began to carry on an adulterous affair with him, until the two were surprised and killed by her husband. Through the voice of Francesca, Dante describes how the pair finally surrendered to love while reading the old French romance Lancelot du Lac, and especially the description of the adultery between Guinevere and Lancelot. “Galeotto fu ‘l libro e chi lo scrisse” (”A Gallehaut was the book, and he who wrote it”), says Francesca, meaning that the book served as an intermediary for their love just like the character of Gallehaut did for Lancelot and Guinivere’s. Nowadays, any object or person that ends up favoring a romantic relationship can replace the word “libro” in this construction.
5. Il bel Paese
Italy is commonly (and sometimes ironically) known as “il bel Paese” (”the fair land”), and that’s thanks to Dante and Petrarca’s verses, who respectively wrote “del bel là Paese dove ‘l sì sona” (”Of the fair land there where the 'Sì’ doth sound”, Inferno, canto XXXIII) and “il bel paese / ch'Appennin parte e 'l mar circonda e l'Alpe” (”that fair country / the Apennines divide, and Alps and sea surround”).
6. Il gran rifiuto
“Colui / che fece per viltade il gran rifiuto” (”He who / due to cowardice made the great refusal”, Inferno, canto III) is commonly thought to be Pope Celestine V, who was only pope for five months in 1294 before he resigned, enabling Bonifacio VIII to take up the position; Dante was notoriously salty about this, since he wasn’t really on good terms with Boniface (who was responsible for his exile from Florence). As you might imagine, this quote made a huge comeback back in 2013, when pope Benedict XVI also resigned, but it’s often employed in less extraordinary situations, usually for comedic effect.
7. Stai fresco
“Stare fresco” usually means to be in for some trouble, or to delude oneself into thinking that one will escape a negative (and predictable outcome); “Stai fresco!” is roughly equivalent to “Yeah, right!” or “In your dreams!”. The expression apparently refers to a specific place in Dante’s Hell, the frozen lake of Cocytus, “là dove i peccatori stanno freschi” (”there where the sinners are put to stay fresh”).
If we want to talk about responsibility we must stop talking about violence against women in a passive way.
Because one thing is to ask “ how many women are killed by men every year “ and another is to ask “ how many men kill women every year “.
Can you see the difference?
The subject of the sentence is important.
Let’s stop putting the woman as a subject because it leads to phrases like: “ yes, but she’d been drinking? How was she dressed? “
Begin to put men as the subject “ How did he act? How did he take advantage of her? How did he kill her? “
Disclaimer: this is not the right post to argue with phrases like NOT ALL MEN or WHAT ABOUT WOMEN WHO BEAT MEN? Not because they don’t have sense in general, but because right now we are not talking about that.
This sounds like a very informal and non friendly to debate. Assault and rape is terrible sure, but I think talking about it should be more informational then biased.
How is it not informational? How is it more biased than the other way around? Considering that men commit 97% of sexual assaults with women as the majority victims of their crimes why the hell should this be a “friendly” debate?
Rape (revised definition): Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim. (This includes the offenses of rape, sodomy, and sexual assault with an object as converted from data submitted via the National Incident-Based Reporting System.)
Oh look, the FBI chose a definition which specifically excludes the main ways in which women can rape people.
Your 97.1% gender split is meaningless without, say, rape by envelopment data, or forced oral sex of the other kind that the FBI doesn’t mention.
Ah yes I keep hearing about this supposed epidemic of female rapists that would totally make the sex crime statistics the 50/50 split “egalitarians” so dearly wish they could argue so they can go on pretending that women aren’t oppressed as a sex and class.
I’m sure you have studies and data on this. You know, burden of proof, innocent until proven guilty, all those things that matter so much until MRAs want to deny reality.
Sure thing! Here’s the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey on the subject. You can find it here.
Notice how the men who were raped outnumber the number of women who were raped over a 12 month period, and the number of men who were specifically raped by being made to penetrate still somewhat outnumber the women who were raped.
Elsewhere, some of the other numbers suggest parity between the sexes. Some definitely do not. But none of them come anywhere close to suggesting a 97% gender imbalance for perpetrators.
That’s what happens when you consider all kinds of rape.
I like how wanda claims she’s seen the argument before, but has somehow never seen evidence. Ironic how she harps on evidence, >considering some< >of the silly< >and incorrect< >arguments she’s made<. Notice the last one; she was once more concerned about the idea that Indian rape laws might be referred to with a different term than the fact that men aren’t recognized as rape victims, period.
I also like how her response delicatetacostudent-blog’s criticism was to immediately try and play Oppression Olympics, even though the point she made is actually completely irrelevant to the question of the pic’s persuasiveness. Wanda thinks women have a Universal Victim License.
Five bucks says she claims MTP is somehow different from rape, either by making up an excuse on the spot, or quoting that FOIA letter from the CDC where they said Made to Penetrate isn’t rape because it just isn’t, okay?
As for OP; feminism already has a problem with the stereotype of collectively blaming men for everything - a stereotype which makes many women reject feminism - and you think doing precisely that is a good idea? Why? How?
What exactly is your goal, here? Do you want people to listen, or do you just want to blame men? And who exactly is using passive language for this stuff anyway? If this march is about helping women, why are you determined to make men the subject? “How many people eat at Joe’s every day?” is not the same question as “how many Joe’s employees feed people every day?”.
Funny she mentions the Indian rape laws because feminist groups shooting down the proposal to make rape gender neutral had a direct hand in LGBT being recriminalized. And you know, that hurt lesbians, bi women, and trans women too.
Yeah if rape laws aren’t gender neutral, shit like this can happen. Not to mention you’re hurting any victim of rape that isn’t m/f… INCLUDING f/f rape victims.
