A Facebook Post for Women Only

A post at Facebook I thought needed sharing here. A book priced as close to free as I could get at Kindle…



This will be a cheap, very short Kindle book when done. Tired of all the girls everybody loved to death dying…

SAVING YOUR LIFE

Introduction

I wouldn’t be writing this if the pandemic hadn’t created a huge drought in streaming entertainment. I used to do tongue in cheek advice to women on my blogs based on horror movies. Don’t get out of the car when your boyfriend says stay. Don’t fall down. Don’t scream when you could be running. Learn how to start a pickup truck without stalling when you’re being chased. That kind of thing. I never really believed that women were completely helpless when their lives were on the line.

But I’ve spent a lot of time in recent weeks learning about real-life psychopaths and how real-life wives and girlfriends and sisters and mothers respond when they are living with, or meeting or dating, psychopaths, and now I believe I have some real advice to offer. This will be a short book but a book that really can save your life.

Ch. 1. The War to Live

Unpleasant facts. No matter how many movies you see where the 80 lb Asian chick can lay the heavyweight attacker low, it isn’t true. They’re still stronger than you are, even the ones who look like pipsqueaks. They can take more punishment, their skulls and limb bones are sturdier, they can get up after you throw them with your cool jujitsu, even after a head or crotch shot to remember, and a single righthander from them can shatter your jaw in three places.

Not saying you shouldn’t work out or learn moves. Just bear in mind that martial arts have been designed by and for men. Except with ju jit su and aikido, most of them involve punching somewhere in the sequence. You cannot punch hard enough to hurt a man unless you’re wearing a cut gemstone ring, which I urge you to do. Your objective in training should be agility, nimbleness, flexibility, and endurance. You are more likely to be able to twist and wriggle your way out of trouble than punch your way out.

My very best advice if you get into actual physical combat? Fight like a girl. Not closed fists but raking fingernails. Hair pulling if they have hair. Not screaming but shrieking like a banshee. Kicking not just for the crotch, which doesn’t work like it does in the movies except with the really dumb ones, but everywhere on the legs, ankles, feet, and abdomen. Fingers deliberately aimed at eyes, stiff and straight, the sharper the nails the better. They’re not ready for an offensive girlfighter onslaught, only a weak, defensive, pitiful flail.

Whatever else happens, don’t pause to talk or plead, don’t stop fighting all-out. If he hits you and you go down, don’t feel beaten and give up. Getting knocked down happens. Keep moving. Forget that it hurts. Roll, roll, roll to get away and to your feet. Then attack again, claws, shrieks, anything heavy you can pick up. Never club him with something, drop that something, and run. If you have found a weapon, hang onto it and look for the opportunity to use it again. You’re in a fight to the death now for all anyone knows, and there are no points awarded for being shy and girlie. Your idea of a mortal blunt trauma probably isn’t correct. He will get up again. Just like terminator. Men can take a LOT of physical punishment.

Which brings us to the question of weapons in general. Where if you seize it, you have an advantage. Men tend to think of weapons as weapons, guns, knives, baseball bats, fireplace pokers, golf clubs, bottles, hard heavy objects at hand. Women aren’t good at bats, golf clubs, or bottles. Not enough leverage, too much swing time executed too slowly without enough power. Find small weapons. Break a light bulb and rake it. Grab a pot and lash it with all your might. Skillets are great but forget the big windup. Utensils are good. Forks, spoons in the eyes, and not big but small knives. Even paring knives. Don’t try for the Psycho downward stabbing attack. Grasp the knife handle like you’re shaking its hand. Stab low, below the ribs and into the gut, stab in as if you were expecting your hand to come out the other side of him, with all the underhand power of a woman’s softball pitcher. Short, brutally hard thrust. Did I mention underhand?

An aside about weapons you’d do well to remember. Women are more likely to shoot men than men are to shoot women. Not because they’re more merciful. Quite the opposite. Men like to kill women by strangling them or beating them to death, preferably with their fists, and in the event of strangers, stabbing. So if you see a gun, you have more time than you think for your attack. He doesn’t want to think he needed a gun, or even a knife, which he would rather use for overkill after he’s strangled you. So if he brandishes, you charge without a moment’s hesitation.

Did you forget the keep moving part? Don’t forget that. Yeah, you can grab the poker if it’s the only thing you can reach. Just use it like that paring knife, underhand, deep into the guts, and don’t stop just because he’s brandishing a bat, a golf club, a Gordon Ramsay chef’s knife, or a gun. Attack at once. Fly at him with your hand cocked underhanded and use the whole momentum of your body for follow through. Then hang on to your weapon and look for something heavy to hit him on the head with.

With me so far? Now, the more important part — avoiding getting into this kind of battle in the first place.
