Reply #24: What none of these does...

is prevent future the attacks on other women. One or two encounters where the victim attempts any of those suggestions is not going to deter
a would be rapist from committing violence again, and again (by the 3rd or 4th time they might even start to get wise and ignore the charade).

By and large, sexual predators are not going to stop unless captured or killed. A woman armed and properly trained with a handgun not only lessens the chance of becoming a victim herself, but can also help those less capable or unwilling of defending themselves so they won't be victimized in the future.
