‎”THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. it may save a life.) Reblog this!

  
It seems that alot of attackers use some tactic to get away with violence. Not many people know how to take care of themselves when faced with such a
situation. Everyone should read this especially each n every girl in this world. THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD INFO TO PASS ALONG…

FYI - Through a rapist’s eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed 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 ….

I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will be some, where you will go “hmm I must remember that” After reading forward it to someone you care about, never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.


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.

DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT NOT REBLOGGING THIS! IT COULD ACTUALLY SAVE A LIFE.

LADIES! This is important, please read! 

Always curious to see how criminals select their targets, and I can’t help but feel this is relevant to my interests. I never carry a purse but I do walk with headphones in, have long hair and I’m pretty short. But I tend to wear loads of layers that wouldn’t be easy to pull off, so I’m not really sure if I present myself as a target.

One thing my mum always taught me though, was never look weak when you’re walking. If you’re on the phone, don’t cry. Don’t sound emotional, don’t have a personal conversation. Don’t walk around wide-eyed if you’re in a new location, and even if you are lost, don’t look like you’re lost. Try to work out where you’re going on the move, or work out how to get to a better vantage point or location, and always walk at a good pace with your head held high, not swaggering or swinging your hips, but with direction and purpose. While I think that was more intended for deterring muggers, I can’t think a little affected confidence could hurt- just trying not to look like a potential victim, all the same.

 If Barbie was an actual woman, she would be 5’9” tall, have a 39” bust, an 18” waist, 33” hips and a size 3 shoe.

• Barbie calls this a “full figure” and likes her weight at 110 lbs.

• At 5’9” tall and weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 and fit the weight criteria for anorexia. She likely would not menstruate.

• If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.

 • Slumber Party Barbie was introduced in 1965 and came with a bathroom scale permanently set at 110 lbs with a book entitled “How to Lose Weight” with directions inside stating simply “Don’t eat.”

I’ve reblogged this a million times and will ALWAYS reblog it.  She is so beautiful… It’s a great message.

Dear American government, Rush Limbaugh and President Obama,

My name is Jessie and I have Endometriosis. I have battled with it since I was 18 and it runs in my family. I watched as both my biological mother and foster mother struggled with this disease. Both of them had hysterectomies in their mid 30s.

I won’t bore you with my incredibly long history with Endometriosis, but if you can see the image that I posted here, it’s what my abdomen looked like after my surgery October 15th, 2010. I’m still bruised and the scars are still prominent. I will tell you what I had to go through to get the surgery that I desperately needed.

Endometriosis is a very underfunded disease. It is not viewed as a real disease by the medical boards. The best treatments for the disease are not covered by insurance because they are viewed as “experimental”. There are two treatments that are covered by insurance. 1. DNCs, which in most cases makes the disease worse because it leaves behind scar tissue, which the disease feeds off of and 2. birth control. I’ve watched over the years as my birth control went from $25 to $90 a MONTH (with insurance). I’ve been on birth control since I was 14 because the doctors wanted to make sure I was doing what I needed to do just in case I did end up with Endometriosis. I was not properly educated on what it did and how I should take it because I had a Catholic school upbringing and parents who didn’t want to talk about sex. The hormones in birth control can help reduce the size of the endometrial legions as well as help with the pain during the menstrual. I have two biological sisters who thankfully did not end up with the disease, but they do suffer from other female oriented medical problems.

I was in stage 4 of the disease by the time I was 21 and suffered from adenomyosis. I was diagnosed when I was 23. I was devastated. I always knew, but I didn’t know how bad it was. On top of all of this, my uterus was intro flexed due to the legions. There are very few specialist in this country for my disease and I’ve seen almost all of them. After I found out that the surgery was 30k with a 19k deposit (since it’s not covered by insurance) I didn’t know what to do. I immediately started contacting clinics all over the country seeing if anyone was doing a case study. Doctors with this specialty are fed by money. Its really hard to find a specialist who actually CARES about the person they are treating.

Three months of no responses and I gave up. What else could I do? May hit and I got the greatest phone call of my life. The National Institutes of Heath was doing a case study. At the end of the study, surgery. I went through the process of being accepted. I was told that 80% of women who submitted were rejected, so I was really nervous. I got the paperwork a few weeks late saying all my blood work was clean and that I had passed. I had to stop birth control for three months so that there was no trace of hormones in my body before going into the study. That was a really tough three months, but nothing compared to what I was about to go through.

I moved to Maryland for the case study. I uprooted my life. The first six weeks were the hardest. Blood draws twice a week. A blood test that was an hour and a half where they introduced the stress hormone into my body every 15 minutes and took more blood from me than I knew I had. A uterine biopsy that was hands down the most painful thing I’ve been through in my life. Two pain tests. The surgery.

One of the aspects of the case study was looking at the pain women with Endometriosis deal with on a daily basis. Endometriosis really messes with the nervous system and results in pain that isn’t supposed to be there. The video of my pain test was presented in front of a conference about Endometriosis. I feel pain all the time. It got the point where it was just part of my daily life. As far as I know, I will always feel this way. I was told from the beginning that the surgery may not alleviate my pain. I guess I was just a little more hopeful. One of my biggest enemies is the pain scale. I can’t accurately gauge my pain because its always there. Pain killers don’t help, not even the big boys.

Another aspect of the study, the part I was most excited about, was about stem cells in menstrual blood. My stems cells grew so well that they froze them and wrote a paper on them! So neat. If they start using them instead of fetal stem cells, I’m taking full credit for it. *flex*

Surgery time came. One of the diamond and sapphire parts of the laser broke off into my abdomen, which was pretty funny. They found it before they sewed me up. I woke up from surgery, not because I was ready to, but because I was in so much pain. They upped my dosage of meds three times and I passed out again. I ended up back in the hospital the next day because of the amount of pain I was in. Turns out that because of my screwed up nervous system my body was just going haywire. Nothing helped. I just had to… deal with it.

It took me a month to recover from my surgery. A few more months passed and there was no improvement in my pain, so they put in an IUD (which was also incredibly painful), which has helped with the pain. I have good months and bad months.

I’m telling you this story because even with ALLL of this, everything I’ve been through, I’m probably still facing a hysterectomy when I’m older. I’m 26 now. The only known “cure” to Endometriosis is having children. Endo causes infertility and makes it very difficult for women to conceive. I’m also scared out of my mind to have children because having a girl would be highly irresponsible of me. It also doesn’t work 100% of the time. Both my biological and foster mothers had multiple children. I also have to get tested for cancer often. One of my biggest fears is getting ovarian cancer. Eighty percent of women with Ovarian cancer also have Endometriosis. Endo is linked to Ovarian and Brain cancer.

The absolute only thing I can do right now is continue a hormone treatment and hope it slows down the progression of the disease. I’m sharing this information with you and the world today because I am an advocate of women going to their yearly doctor visits. Because of the stigma, discomfort, ridiculous price and misinformation women receive about the OBGYN, they put off going to the doctor, WHICH NEEDS TO STOP. I want to be an advocate for women who have Endometriosis and give them hope, but in a country that belittles women’s health and treats us like second class citizens, what hope can I give them?

You have no idea what it’s like to live with this. You just feel alone. No one will ever understand. It runs your life.

Stay the fuck out of our birth control. It’s none of your business. Stop the war on women’s health.
