Good f*****g idea!

Daughters, too. Women/girls can be harassers.

Plainjane knew who looked safe. Good instincts.

🥰 😊

Here in England they have something call Angela, so you go to the bartender and asks if Angela is working, I really like this

Moms! Assemble.

Good on you!

It's funny isn't it. Older women are denigrated by society but I think its because men are genuinely afraid of them. Afraid that the years of experience and b******t has hardened them enough and taught them skills young women have not yet developed to put men in their place.

Books are most definitely multipurpose 😂❤️

I worked with an older lady when I was in my teens who carried a brick in her bag. She did actually lay a guy out one night with it.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" TheCornerTabernacle just proved that wrong.

This is one of the reasons i always carry books in my bag, or purse.

Okay, this will sound weird but in elemetry school I was low-key terrifying. I did not take sh!t from anyone, and I was never seen without a book. some people(espesially teachers) might say 'aw she just loves reading', and I do. BUT you say anything even remotly mean to me or one of my friends, you will get a book right to the head. my cousin actually taught me this, because she told me that when I got older I should always carry a book. she carrys the entire sherlock holmes in her purse. I carry the 5th and 7th harry potter book. FIGHT ME IF YOU DARE!

ouch ... being whacked with the corner of the spine! I've done that before, it hurts like crap, can concuss you. Good one.

I've heard of throwing the book at someone but beating them with it is a new one!

I've used those blocks of wood into their wood. Also works really well

Try that with a Kindl.

With knowledge comes strength as they say. Perhaps we all just didn't take it literally enough

Definitely took him to another world 😬

I used my purse (nice big one with lots of pockets, usually with lots of change and other stuff) to hold off an attacking dog back in the early 90's.

Not sure this is what The Doctor meant about a library being full of weapons but if it works it works lmao

Ok thank god this person isn't relying on others to defend them. I respect that. Shows they're not weak.

Luckily, you had a highly trained Attack Mom.

For some reason I thought that she had called the woman 'Mom' so I was really confused

Good job moms!

That's nice!

For every weirdo, there's so many more good people in this world. Thank goodness for them.

Brilliant. Men will back off when they think you are a psycho. Also, acting totally aggressively freaking weird helps too.

I wish I was told that as a kid

She's strong and brave and can stand on her own 2 feet.

That was something we had hammered into us early on. Never voluntarily move from the primary location; the secondary location is where you likely die. Scream, fuss, fight, do whatever. Make them have to (potentially) kill you right there on the street with witnesses where they will not have prepared the area how they want. Obviously much harder to fight back with an organised team abduction but those are generally not as common as the opportunistic ones

I don't HAVE kids, but a distressed child voice gets my attention fast. I think it's hard-wired.

Claire needs to be banned from this site. Ffs stfu Claire, you're the only "sad" fool really.

Eleven. F*cking perverts.

These days you don't need to go back and get the plate number, you've got a camera in your pocket. Take pics of the a*****e. Take pics of his car and plate. Take pics of everything. Police probably won't care right now if you already rescued the girl from harassment but if another young woman in that area gets harmed in the near future the police will be VERY interested. Hopefully just knowing someone has photos will deter the guy from doing it again in that area (and yes I know that just moves the problem but enough people do it and there's nowhere for the problem to go).

I'm a guy. I'm also always ready to help. In fact, most guys are. 🙂

I was helped by a family once. Will forever be grateful to them.

Good dad.

Yes!! I'm 10 months post and still can't stand to watch or read any story about a baby or mom being hurt.

Always!!! Never teach your kids to respect all adults!

Buzz off Claire. Go be an angry Darlene somewhere else.

Did you hear echoes when you bounced that book off his head?

I hope you gave the good boi some food or took him to a shelter

Okay, but I have a very big problem with this post. They were in a BART station. The only thing coming to mind is Bart Simpson from the Simpsons. Also, knocking Claire off top comment. It's getting annoying Claire, it's fine to ask for help when you're in a bad situation.

Most guys are ok too, honestly. Find a kindly looking person in general. If they don't deliver, move on to the next one!

Then you seek help from anyone else who happens to be around. I would personally go up to a man and ask him for help because I'm not sure another woman would be enough to put some creeps off. And I might make the woman herself feel intimidated. I would march up to the biggest bloke I could spot and ask him to help me.

For those who don't know, it signals that she is in danger.

Buzz off Claire

I'm not sure where the nearest police station is, but I live near a fire station. Also a hospital emergency room and a couple of all-night businesses with very brightly lit parking lots.

My grandma faked hearing voices and started putting a curse on the attacker, babbling in tongues etc. She saved her own life!

Ok I’m not social either but that doesn’t mean you should ignore someone who clearly needs help

That's such a scary situation, I'm glad you were able to find a way out.
