This scares me. Our society is getting worse. Please stay safe

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)

An Article from Neena Susan Thomas

“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed 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 ….

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 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 compassion reblog this post. ‘Helping hands are better than Praying Lips’ – give us your helping hand.

Everyone! Important information!

I’ve been hard at work this morning to spread the news about net neutrality. In case you don’t know what net neutrality is, let me fill you in.

Imagine a world in which the government can limit what you can and can’t access on the internet. Imagine a world in which you must pay individually for internet access, the device on which you access the internet, access to video, to social media, news, email, etc. Imagine a world in which individual companies such as Verizon and AT&T can charge you whatever they want for this access. Imagine a world in which they determine what you can access.

Sounds pretty bad, right? Thankfully, a little thing called net neutrality prevents this from happening.

Except they’re voting to repeal it on December 14th.

The internet as we know it could disappear, unless we take action now! Email and call your local Senators! Spam them. You can see a list of the three people whose vote we need to change to “no” to prevent this from being repealed by checking out the posts I’ve reblogged or by searching net neutrality here on Tumblr.

I encourage you to come up with your own reasons for why net neutrality should not be replaced. They have released statements implying they will only consider emails and calls with new information or perspectives.

Please guys. If you like your fandoms, please please please email the heck out of your representatives.

Also note: Tumblr.com is owned by Yahoo which is owned by Verizon. Verizon is one of the biggest supporters of the repeal of Net Neutrality.

This means Tumblr is actively working to prevent the spread of posts like this. It is un-following people from the net neutrality tag. It is deleting posts.

If you’re not sure what to send, here’s the email I sent Mike O'Rielly.

DO NOT COPY THIS EMAIL. THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER REPEAT EMAILS.

Mr. O'Rielly,

I am well aware that you are being flooded with emails at this point in time, but I’d like you to take a short moment to consider mine. Sir, this is about more than money. This about people’s lives. The internet provides access to suicide, abuse, trauma, and victim resources for hundreds of thousands of people. Many of them would lose these resources due to financial reasons if net neutrality were to be repealed. Sir, your vote of no on December 14th can save the victims, the hurt, the wounded, the sorrowful, the discriminated, and all those who draw upon online resources and communities to keep going. I personally know that many online resources such as Calm.com and 7 Cups of Tea have kept me from hurting myself both physically and emotionally on numerous occasions. I have many friends who have found solace in online communities on websites like Tumblr.com. For some of them, said communities prevented their suicide. But I can speak for each and every one of us and say that we would not be able to afford access to these sites if net neutrality was repealed.

I would also like to bring to your attention the suffering of self-employed social media content creators and small businesses. Social media platforms such as YouTube and Instagram have become a livelihood for many young people. Their paychecks are determined by the amount of views they received and followers they have, either directly or indirectly. If net neutrality was repealed, their online traffic would surely decline. The entire business they had created could very easily cease to exist, leaving them in the dust with no money to pay the bills. Once again, Mr. O'Rielly, people’s lives are in your hand. Are you willing to take the risk of leaving these young people destitute? Some small businesses also require the Internet to thrive. Take sites like Etsy.com for example. Many people will craft handmade goods and sell them online on this website and other sites like it. Once again, people can only buy these goods if they can access them.

Mr. Mike O'Rielly, I beg of you. Vote no. Keep net neutrality. These are just two examples of many reasons why the free internet is imperative to our modern world. I give you my fullest respect, but know that if you vote yes and net neutrality is repealed, I will hold you personally responsible for the effects. It’s in your hands Mr. O'Rielly. Nobody is going to make this decision for you. Consider the millions of people sending in emails and making phone calls. Consider the effects of repealing net neutrality. Consider all of this, and then make your decision.

Choose wisely.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Harriet Bowles

Your choice now will affect the lives of the future. Internet is very important. In education, to keep us connected, and more. Please, please, you live in this nation. Please care!

NET NEUTRALITY - MY PERSPECTIVE

I depend on the internet for many things.

-Creativity

-Humor

-Friendship

-Music

-Keeping in touch with family

and so so so many other things. but most importantly, I depend on the internet for my education. Not only am I a student who is online schooled, I am at the age where I’m preparing for college. I am worried about the future for many young students that depend on the internet for their education. College is already unaffordable as it is, but everything revolves around the internet these days. Internet providers slowing down your internet just because you can’t afford their insanely high prices could put your entire future in jeopardy. As an online learner, most websites I use for school are completely free, but going against net neutrality would jack up prices for businesses, along with the already expensive internet. this could mean online learning tools could go completely out of business from a lack of use.

This is just hardly grazing the topic of Net Neutrality. So many things would be ruined if we didn’t have net neutrality.

🛑 Here’s what you can do to help 🛑

- you do not need to be 18 to help!! any age will help!!!!-

Battleforthenet.com -get in contact with your rep. it gives you a script of what to say on a phone call to them.

Savetheinternet.com -same thing as the link above, except in an email/text-post form

Contactingcongress.org -phone call again with a simple script

Resistbot.io -text/email which then gets sent to your rep and supports net neutrality

Fax number for the FCC- 1-866-418-0232

make sure to send this to your family/friends!!!
