”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! u 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.
If u have a heart or compassion reblog this post.
‘Helping hands are better than Praying Lips’ – give us your helping hand.
REBLOG THIS AND LET EVERY GIRL KNOW!
ATLEAST PEOPLES WILL KNOW WATS GOIN IN THIS WORLD.
So please reblog this….Your one reblog can Help to spread this information.
I hope you all will Reblog. Lets See how many of you really care for this.Before you comment saying ‘why don’t we just tell people not to rape’ read this
Helpful! I’ve always been told to use my keys and it makes sense now why maybe that isn’t such a good idea. No more leaving pepper spray in my purse!
Also props to the link at the end. Not to be an ass but it fucking pisses me off when people use that line. “Oh just teach boys not to rape.” Every guy I know has been raised not to rape and if they hadn’t been raised that way they definitely know better from the media. If a guy is an asshole he is an asshole. It’s not about “oh i’m flirting with this guy and leading him on but that’s okay because it’s my right as a girl” It’s true, it is every girl’s right. And all of the guys i know will be disappointed they have been led on but will accept it on move on. But some PEOPLE (not just guys) don’t fucking care! It does not bother some people one fucking bit that you were just playing a mind game. So why invite trouble?? It’s best to be prepared and maybe even paranoid and quit being a dishonest leading-on douche than to give someone horrible an opening. You just don’t know who you are fucking talking to. That’s why those posts piss me off.

Here’s the easy cosplays I designed for my friends. Just the idea of things. We will see what we can find at good will. Haha you can tell I was getting tired on a few my proportions and coloring started slacking. There’s a water theme because I want them to go with my Misty and Gyarados. Muahahahah they’re newbies so I can still convince them to do cosplays I want.
Post with 1 note
Welp I’ve been out of school for a couple weeks now and I’ve been hard core working on cosplay like noooobody’s business! I made a mermaid tail 2 swimsuits and a jacket! Still have to make my boyfriend cosplay and do some touch ups on my old mermaid and our avatar cosplays.
Speaking of avatar cosplays I’m off in under an hour to make a 4 hour drive to go visit my friends and help them finish their avatar cosplays so we can have a whole group for Colossalcon. Unfortunately, my photographer friend was booked the first night he opened his colossalcon blocks and I had to work that morning so I was soundly sleeping through the booking! But it’s ok I promise to take lots of pics they just won’t be all nice and artsy!
I’m really excited for colossal! Our room filled up and it pulled down the price per person to a really reasonable rate. Plus, our group is amazing! We have some top cosplayers and actors in our room and a few newbies. I’m so excited for all of these con generations to meet! Plus, as is colossal tradition we will be making excellent food and I will be bringing cakes to enjoy while we play Cards Against Humanity. The game is like the internet and Apples to Apples had a hideous love child that no one wants but everyone has to look at. Haha it’s fun when we are buzzed around the table throwing random BS cards to the middle that actually land a win.
My cosplay line up for Colossalcon is as follows:
-Misty from the gold/silver pokemon games
-Gyarados mermaid
-Nami time skip outfit (shorts instead of jeans. it was too hot last year >_<)
-Nami original bikini with a cute orange pattern on it
-Katara final battle outfit (will have group!)
Hopefully, my two newbie friends will decide to pokemon it up with me! Either way I’m really glad they get to come.
In other news, I passed all of my classes this Spring and i’m on schedule to graduate in the Fall. (FINALLY) I’m sad that I won’t be researching over the summer because my prof got a grant to work at another university for the summer. But that’s ok because I have a little notebook I’m taking notes in and keeping sources and I will be thinking on these rat microbes for the duration. Also I plan on really looking at all the available schools out there. I’m really going to look everywhere and see what school(s) best fits me and not just local ones. My boyfriend and I are planning on lining up our next education places.
Hopefully, we can. I’m really wanting to move in together, but distance… it makes it difficult. Idk I know it sounds dumb, but I have one friend who is planning future houses and a cruise together with her boyfriend and she thinks he’s getting ready to propose. And while I’m so happy for them! I truly am, those two are two of my best friends… but part of me wants to scream! I know my boyfriend and I have that same connection and we’ve been together so much longer to solidify that thought… but I guess we just aren’t there yet. I look at them and they’ve been together for so little time and I look at us and…. I just get frustrated. I don’t know. I should tell him how I wouldn’t mind a long engagement. I’ve been trying to drop hints. But he just gets quiet and ignores it. God my sister was engaged for years! And eventually they both finally got there. I know we will too. I just… I don’t know what’s stopping him. :( I can wait. I don’t have much of a choice! We have had some rocky moments lately. I suppose that doesn’t help. I don’t know… I hope I’m not assuming something out of this situation that isn’t there. I worry sometimes. Alot. But I hope it’s just my insecurity making me worry and nothing legitimate. I don’t know.
Well that’s pretty much been my life lately. Another friend of mine is going through some really tough stuff right now and it would be so much for people to send positivity their way. I’m not sure they want details out there so i will keep their problems anonymous. But other than that it’s been work and cosplay with the occasional trip to the pool at the gym! Got to be all mermaid fit for the water park.
Talk to you guys soon!
PS. Once this cosplay stuff lightens up I will post more art/drawings. I actually drew up some gijinkas with simple cosplayable outfits for my two newbie friends. So I can post those!
PPS. Hi new followers!! I didn’t get a cool screen shot of your following. I will try to be a better member of the community. But while my following is still small would any of my followers want a piece of artwork your choice?? I don’t really know how else to appreciate you guys! I feel like those contests floating around are just people self promoting. But if each of you would like to see me take a stab at something you are more than welcome to let me know and I can send you the finished high quality version. ^_^
