I'm just glad I was there to stop that shit... before any real "contact" happened.
I've seen her struggle and get better through therapy, she's my cousin by the way, and now she's happily married.
However, I think I should see a shrink as well because I got some transference BS going on here.
Any time I see rape related subject matter, may it be in literature, movies, etc. I literally want to reach in the novel, movie, etc. and punch the fictional character.
And no, my family doesn't have abuse problems which my own feeling might stem from.
I went over this with the psychologist and psychiatrist my cousin was seeing at the time, and the pretty much said it's most likely because I feel guilty somehow for not being there on time.
Which makes sense, because if I was there probably a minute earlier, I could have prevented the whole ordeal by just being with her as she was getting home.
Anyways, back the the related matter.
I do believe women should consider the somewhat higher likeability that rapers gonna rape more readily when they have a explicit stimulus.
They should just be prepared, may it be a can of mace or a pinkstudded taser, or martial arts.
A lot of guys are ready to defend themselves, and in the process get fit. So why not women?
Part of my cousin's therapy was getting her confidence/power back and being sure of her self.
I suggested to her therapist that I wanted to take her to the MMA gym I go to, and let her learn self defence; I suggested taking Jujitsu.
She thought it was a good idea, so I did, and it did wonders for her recovery process.
Jujitsu being more dependent on leverage and technique than size and strength, fit her bill perfectly.
As a person who just started taking Jujitsu myself, it was fairly easy for a 5'4 105lbs girl to submit unsuspecting 5'11" over 200lbs guy (me) with a figure 4 and a RNC (Rear Naked Choke).
Those tiny arms seem to fit right into, under my jaw line... Felt like some sorta gremlin was choking me out from my back...
As some on stated, rape is much about domination/power.
If a woman knows close combat defence, the raper; unknowingly thinking his being "dominant", will rush a girl, and end up with a dislocated arm :YMAPPLAUSE:
How you like em apples
rue that,when my sister decided to move out years ago,me and my uncles made sure to "equipped " her well IF something comes up,pepper spray and all,better safe than sorry ...
And you are right about rappers gotta rape,it's a damn shame that some people will always get judged by the way she was dressed she was looking for it ,agreed it is a power thrill more than a sexual craving ...
Not saying women couldn't dress as they want to but in reality one is forced to realize it is safer to dress less exposed at night ,as much as daytime ,better safe than sorry IMO ...
