THROUGH A RAPISTāS EYESā (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)
An Article from Neena Susan Thomas
āThrough a rapistās eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewā¦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 whoās 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 donāt 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 isnāt 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 youāre 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: canāt believe it is so cold out here, weāre in for a bad winter. Now that youāve 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 theyād 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 canāt 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 ā 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 guyās parts it is extremely painful. You might think that youāll 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 heās 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, donāt dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but youād feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ā¦.
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 youā¦. 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 wonāt 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. DONāT 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 driverās 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 āfor helpā 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 itās better safe than sorry.

Carry a gun, if possible.
The number 6 trick with the 2 fingers? The pinky finger also works well. Twist and yank hard.
If you are grabbed from behind? Use your thumb and forefinger and shove them up the nose. Dig in with your nails into the septum. It hurts like heck.
If you carry a weapon, such as a gun, it can be used against you quite easily. Take a weapons self-defense class. Or better yet, classes. Ask your local police department if they can recommend any. If not, reach out to local gun clubs. Simple target practice isnāt adequate enough. Hitting an unmoving target is fairly simplistic. People move, rotate, and come forward quite quickly.
What does the Bible say about dressing modestly, and in a God honoring way?
Well well well, if it isn't me, breaking Christian hearts. I've done it a lot (while being pagan, while being atheist, and now being Christian).
My problem, is that SOO many tradwives on here put looking amazing as their top priority, while calling themselves Christian. Girlies, imma be honest with you. You're full of shit.
I recently saw a post on how to dress nice as a housewife, and omg, literally the first line was to wear accessories.
First of all, it literally say in 1Timothy 2:9-10:
"Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godlinessāwith good works."
So, HOW to be modest?
A pretty simple question, yet still hard to answer.
1. Be gentle
2. Help people
3. Fear God
4. Be quite ("quick to listen, slow to speak" James 1:19)
(Most of the rules you need to follow, you can find in James' book!)
"Do not let your adorning be externalāthe braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wearā but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious."
1Peter 3:3-4
Also, a common misconception I see:
"Dressing modestly for you husband"
No!?!!!? You should dress modestly for GOD. If you're not married, you're in a relationship, OR you are married, your husband is not the one you should be dressing modestly for! It's God!
Dressing modestly is a way to honor God. Covering up is a way to show respect to him.
I also take note of the use of the words "respectable" "self-control" and "good works." To me, that means showing respect toward others, toward yourself, and toward God in both how you dress and how you behave. Your exterior is a mirror of your interior. If you are working for God on the inside, your outside will naturally reflect that.
Also, dress modestly for God. But for my non-religious ladies, dress modestly for you! You deserve the same as our religious sisters š©·
Omg yes!
Also dress modestly for yourselves! Such good advice!!
Anti-abortion ppl please block me.
I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.
ā Ezekiel 36:26
Why do you hate yourself?
You are made in the image of God. Before you were conceived he knew you and he loved you. The God of the universe thought you were worth creating; you are not here for no purpose. He chose you and made you and you are loved, more than you can conceive of.
So I ask again, why do you hate yourself?
Is it because of the sin within you, that you alone know the full extent of? Fear not, beloved, for he knows the fullest extent, more than even you are aware of, and yet he loves you in spite of it all. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Would you hate your fellow man as you hate yourself?
Would you not give them the grace you deny to yourself? You are human as they, fallible, stumbling yet striving to reach the goal. Neither you nor they are perfect: far from it. You are still loved and cherished.
Even in the valley of the shadow of death, he is still there, and he will always be with you. Have courage, beloved. He has overcome the world.
Going to buy a flip phone, and start living digital minimalism!

I was talking to my mother a few minutes ago.
She asked me if I remembered the most important rule of all.
Yes I do.
God's Golden Rule.
Golden Rule, precept in the Gospel of Matthew (7:12): āIn everything, do to others what you would have them do to you. . . .ā This rule of conduct isĀ a summary of the Christian's duty to his neighbour and states a fundamental ethical principle.
What does that mean to me? You treat others how you would want to be treated. That means hate is not part of God's word. I might dislike a person because of their actions or words. I might not wish to be around them. That's fair. I have to keep myself safe, after all.
Hatred of someone because of their religion, skin color, sexuality, etc is wrong. God is our only judge in the long run. It is up to Him and Him alone.
We cannot worship Him, in my opinion, and be hateful to others. Judge lest ye be judged. We are all sinners.
When we judge one another, this builds anger and unfaithful desires in our hearts, which affect us spiritually and can be detrimental to our relationships and our relationship with Him.
