Personal experience?

Giggling is the best defense.

Don't listen to ur mom she's wrong. You should scream and fight back and make sure you have pepper spray and also take some defense classes ok. It's always good to be able to fight back.

Wow. Wow. I'm not sure what else to say.

I would suggest fighting for your life. A rapist is already depraved enough that he will probably kill his victim whether she fights back or not.

Too much law and order svu!!

well it would upset me if I got screamed at.

Why would she tell you this? Are you planning on getting raped soon or something

That's ridiculous. A rapist is going to target someone who they think will be easy to overpower, and you're just going to confirm their assumptions and become an easy target if you put up no resistance. However, if you flick the 'bitch switch' and overwhelm your attacker by screaming in their face and lashing out at them, it's likely they'll freak out and run off. Think I'm full of it? Ronnie Shelton is better known as the "West Side Rapist". He's serving 3198 years in prison for attacking 29 women in their homes. But even he had a fear. "Yes, if a girl kept screaming or fought, I booked. She was free." I'm sure your mother had the best intentions, but she's only harming you more by indoctrinating the belief that you can't effectively defend yourself from rape. Self-defense is as much psychological as it is physical.

Well every one knows you don't yell that your being raped because let's be honest no one wants to see a rape so yell something cool like free puppies
