Do you carry a rape alarm?

Personally, I don't. Not necessarily out of choice but because I don't think it'll be of much use.

I did have one when I was 11 though (because there were a lot of letters going home about stupid girls hopping into strangers' cars). Also, I accidentally once set it off in class and my teacher starting evacuating everyone and I was too chicken to say to admit that it was my psycho repellent

I just feel like in this day and age, everyone is so concerned about their own safety that they're hesitant to go out of their way and help others when they're in danger and are more likely to put their head down and cross the road.

For example, if a woman was getting attacked at night, one would be hesitant to get themselves involved because they haven't a clue what the attacker is capable of. From that perspective, I understand but at the same time, I'm just wondering whether you'd appreciate it if someone did the same if you were in the victim's position?

What about you girls, though? Do you carry one? Did you ever carry one? Do you own one? Why or why not?

And you guys? Do you think there's ever any point in a woman carrying a rape alarm? Do you think that shouting "FIRE TFFFFFF" is more effective than a siren? Would you help?

But seriously, I've never carried one. I've got this goal in mind to become great at marital arts, because like someone mentioned previously, even with an alarm, people won't always come to the rescue.

Never heard of such a thing , lmao

It's sad girls have to worry about such things though , i think if i did see a women being attacked i would be inclined to help i wouldn't be able to just walk by.

I do Judo currently, and it really does instil some confidence in you for when you go out in the night alone.

How sexist and patriarchal of you for colour-coding your questions!

Im female. No I don't, but I'd have a very piercing scream and am am very good at self defence. I can take down a mugger or anyone like that in under 5 seconds and in a way that'll prevent tge from getting up off the ground for a good 10 minutes. It has been tested, both on a qualified martial arts person and on an actual mugger. Trust me, it works!

i find that my general appearance and aura is enough of a deterrent to anyone so no i don't

What is this technique you speak of?

But what if you end up in a situation like Will from Inbetweeners 2

Why is this thread directed towards women? You know men can get sexually harassed, even raped, too? This thread has sexism written all over it. smh.
