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.

EVERYONE BOOT THE FUCK OUT OF THIS
isn’t it sad that we have to teach women how to avoid rape instead of telling rapists not to fucking rape people
@queenkeyland back the fuck up young lady let’s have a little discussion.
Rapists are rapists because they have issues. They have issues meaning they cannot function like human beings. They feel the need to violate others for their own sick twisted pleasure. That kind of attitude isn’t fixed by “telling” them not to rape people. This is fixed by psychiatric help and in extreme cases; force.
There will always be sick fucks out there who can’t control their filthy hands- it’s just how this world works. Rotten apples everywhere. We can prevent rapists and would-be rapists from committing rapes to *some* measure by
supplying children who are sexual abuse victims (since rapists were usually violated themselves when they were younger) with the correct psychiatric help
enforcing harsher punishments on rapists
making rape harder//increasing security etc
We are making a start, albeit slow, to cease rape from happening, but I agree, we do need to do more.
The post above is fantastic because it allows a safety net for ANY GENDER because people do need to be prepared. There’s no harm in that.
So please for the love of God stop spewing this nonsense. No one tell tells their kids “right sonny jim let’s go and do some raping tonight”.
I’m sorry, I’m getting a bit emotional. I’m not trying to direct this *anger* at you but to people in general. The world needs to know
NO ONE TELLS RAPISTS TO RAPE. RAPISTS RAPE BECAUSE THEY ARE FUCKED IN THE HEAD AND NEED HELP.
there’s no need to back up old lady ok lets calm down
yes many rapists suffer from mental issues. am I saying that we should ignore that? no. but there’s a good number of rapists who know what they’re doing and are perfectly sane to the medical world.
the problem is that rape ever became a thing. that our society ever evolved into a group of people that believe they are entitled to each other’s bodies. especially with men believing they own women. it’s been like this for a long time. all the way back in old testament times, when some dipshit wrote that god made eve “for” adam.
the first step is erasing rape culture. erasing the stigma around sex. then we can start helping those that need it. then we can start the casual reminders that rape isn’t good.
to your point about no one telling people to rape, that was not something I mentioned in my comment, but people telling each other to rape is a thing. rape jokes. boys at parties making deals over who gets the first poor drunk girl that stumbles onto their path. men and women alike disregarding lack of consent and spreading that, whether directly or indirectly, as something that’s okay. something that’s perfectly acceptable to do. so, yeah, people do tell each other to rape. maybe not in the manner that you’ve suggested, but it is there.
thank you for your educated take on this tho. i’ve gotten so much shit over these 20-some words, and it’s nice to see some real grammar usage and thought out points lol.
@queenkeyland Thanks for your input. I had a feeling “rape culture” might come in at one point. It always does. Just how only female rape is mentioned, never mind the thousands of male victims (mostly of prepubescent age).
Let’s tackle rape culture first. Thanks for mentioning it. Once again I am reminded of how easy it is the blame society as a whole instead of locking down on the individual rapist and his/her personal responsibility for his/her actions. We refuse to move away from rape used as an expression of “culture” and towards holding a small groups of individuals absolutely responsible for their own actions. Blaming rape culture just takes the focus away from the said rapist and dumps the blame of society; which is a complete no no. The rapist is at fault for *gasp* his/her own actions.
Mkay now onto “our society ever evolved into a group of people that believe they are entitled to each other’s bodies. especially with men believing they own women.” Humans haven’t had the most goriest past; quite the opposite. Unfortunately there is a small number of those dipshits out there. Where? Mostly in terrorists organisations in the Middle East. These people once again, are fucked in the head which is why they can actually do the things they do and not die from realisation of how shitty they are.
But rape culture does not exist in the west. I have to be honest, IT DOES NOT. Women here have rights; they can sue and defend themselves knowing full well that the judge will take their side and if not, then the millions of people on social network if the said victim’s case is nullified.
Rape culture exists elsewhere. I’ve helped the children on women fleeing from parts of Afghanistan from horrendous abuse. Where females are married against their will. They are murdered for a man’s “honour”. And they are raped. And when they are raped, they are arrested for it. And finally, they are shunned by their family. By their own flesh and blood.
There is no one to speak out for them. No trending hashtags to spare their lives. No one.
Where are people then? Why are people so quick to jump on “frat party rapes” caused by drunk dipshits yet they stay quiet when this happens every single fucking day in other parts of the world. Where one wrong word could kill a girl’s life.
Where are people then?
Thank goodness rape culture doesn’t exist in the West. We are so fucking lucky, yet we still decide to victimise ourselves are criminalize society instead of criminalizing the person who actually raped because in no way are they responsible for their own actions. It was clearly society telling them to rape. This is so sad especially after seeing the horrific results scarred into the children and women running their own families and homes because of the very thing and yet people sit here throwing the word “rape culture” here and there like confetti.
Finally the testament thing; it’s really no longer relevant now. I think you can figure out why yourself. Aaand stigma around sex, was it? Uh, there is no stigma around sex. People don;t generally have something against sex. Why do you think there’s 7.2 billion people in this world? And the fact that practically all US adverts use sexual appeal to sell products. I’m guessing you mean stigma around rape victims?? Or people who are sexually active?? I’m not really sure what you mean by that.
Anyway, have a good day.
The Two Spirited People: Remember that hatred of Gay and Bisexual people was taught to you. Native American people of North and South America allowed marriage of men to women, men to men, and women to women under the spiritual understandings that the soul is genderless or that we two spirited souls with genders separate from our biological bodies. When people say that Native Americans were the past I can only laugh because I know that our people were and continue to be the future, we understood the evils of wealth, homophobia and harming the earth until we were sieged by European barbarians. These backwards men still bicker about gay marriage, saving the ozone, and pride their capitalist system as the best in the world while it runs on the blood of black and brown people. But I digress, as this post pertains to homosexuality, male-centric culture was brought to our lands and with it the ideas of who should marry who, which sex belongs in the kitchen, and what else is proper living. In 20 years when the United States finally comes to the wisdom our people have known for centuries you may pride yourself on knowing that your ancestors knew better.

this is just so fucking harrison ford tho i mean
Working in retail
Me: i love pancakes
friend: i know. But pancakes or crepe?
Me: i can go either way
Friend: The true meaning of pansexual
Me: Isn't that bisexual?
friend: ye i guess pansexuals have to love waffles too
I feel like when people use public toilets they get embarrassed that other people can hear them pee, especially when its quiet. Solution? Get some toilet paper and put it in the toilet before you sit down. The toilet paper should muffle the sound of you peeing.
This had me laughing so hard.
Is this the gay agenda? Because I’m totally on board with this.
If Superman is how America sees itself, and Batman is how the world sees America, then Iron Man is what America really is.

“”EXPECTO PATRONUM!” Harry yelled. Nothing happened. Harry gripped his dick tighter and shook it up and down until a thick, whispy white substance protruded from the end of it.”
“Panting, Harry fell forwards over the hydrangea bush, straightened up and stared around. There were several faces peering through various nearby windows. Harry stuffed his dick hastily back into his jeans and tried to look innocent.”
“He had not been this close to Malfoy since he had watched him muttering to Crabbe and Goyle during Dumbledore’s speech about Cedric. He could feel a kind of ringing in his ears. His hand gripped his dick under his robes”
LOL dark-blueeeee
“My dick.” Said Ron. “Look at my dick.” It had snapped, almost in two, and the tip was dangling limply, held on by only a few spare splinters.
“Malfoy wheeled around, drawing his dick. Instinctively, Harry pulled out his own.”
IS THAT A SHARK?
1. Fist: Make a fist around the epi-pen, don’t place your thumb/fingers over either end
2. Flick the blue cap off
3. Fire. Press down into the outer thigh (the big muscle in there), hold for 10 seconds before removing (the orange cap will cover the needle). Bare skin is best but the epi-pen will go through clothing. Avoid pockets and seams.
- Ring an ambulance even if everything seems to be fine!
Oh my god. So as someone who has to carry an epipen EVERYWHERE I am so happy to see that there’s an info post about them. Like in the extreme case that I can’t inject myself, somebody else would have to do it, but nobody knows how to do it! Thank you, this may just save my life some day.
Don’t be wimpy about it, either. I know friends who are like, “but idk if I could stab you with a needle!” Please stab me with the needle, don’t be hesitant about it.
In my case (I can’t speak for all allergies), an epi buys me 20 minutes of breathing to get to the hospital. It is not a magic bullet, it’s a few critical minutes to help get me where I need to go.
For those who don’t know, people with serious food allergies carry epinephrine which is an adrenaline shot just in case they have anaphylaxis, which is a life threatening allergic attack. This shot is life-saving and must be administered to someone who is having an anaphylactic attack as SOON AS POSSIBLE, because an extra waited minute could mean their life.
It doesn’t hurt much at all to use this needle. The first time I used mine, I didn’t even feel it. But be sure to stab it IN THE OUTER THIGH. Do not stick it anywhere else or you could seriously hurt or kill someone. Just right to the outside of the thigh and then call the ambulance - even if your friend starts doing better, they could have a biphasic reaction, meaning a reaction that comes back (or they may need a second dose, be on the look out). If your friend has an epipen, then they have an epipen trainer that doesn’t have a needle and you can try it out just to be sure you know how to use the real thing if you have to. I’d also advise holding it a few more seconds then 10, maybe go for 14 just to be sure all the medicine is administered and that you didn’t count too fast - that’s what I did.
Here’s a graphic of where to stick it:
THANK YOU FOR THE GRAPHIC I was about to ask because my mom carries one around and so do some of my friends and I wanted to make sure I would do it right if I ever needed to!
