How do you protect yourself every day as you walk down the street, since something may happen at any time? I haven't thought about it much before, but I realize if I were walking down the street and someone attacked me or threatened me, I would be completely unprepared to respond. What would I do - throw my LV speedy at him? Hit him on the head with my huge wallet? Best thing I can think of is to kick him down there and hope my pointy-toe pumps make it extra painful...ush:
Whenever I'm walking down the street (I'm in Queens, NY), I'm constantly catcalled and spoken to by strange men, so that I feel like a piece of meat walking amongst hungry vultures. It really creeps me out. I've been ordering out all the time because I don't want to go out! My roommate was raped last year, and experiencing all this attention on the street really made me feel like I need to be prepared. My question is - when you're walking down the street alone, how do you protect yourself? Have you taken defense classes? Mace (sp?)? Pepper spray? Enlighten me, please
