Peeing on yourself is the easier route, I don’t know anyone that can puke on command.
It’s not immediate, but I can puke on command within about two minutes.
Just swallow a bunch of air and really aggressively try to force a burp before you’re ready
I can too, I just have to wind myself up over all the shit I need to get done. Dry heaves and into mass projectile vomiting.
Its a useful skill when you want to get out of work early and maybe get a few days off.
But never tried the swallowing air, I’ll give that a try next time. Might make for a more energetic vomiting experience.
Tbh, me existing in a constant state of stress might contribute…
Same here, I overthink the hell out of everything and stress over everything too.
Good luck kicking out the headlights from the trunk. That’s quite a stretch.
Can a trunk be kicked open from inside?
Trunks in modern cars are required to have a release inside. They may not be easy to find in the dark.
The kicking out the lights advice I believed is aimed at disabling the lights to encourage a police officer to stop the vehicle for broken lights. Not to enable an escape.
They could also be tampered with if the offender is planning a crime. So they may not work or may not even be visible.
It would be easy to cut the cable connected to the trunk release. They are there for safety in case of an accidental lock-in not a tool to prevent vehicles being used for kidnappings.
Mine glows in the dark.
They should make requirements for visibility. Glowing would definitely make them more effective.
I hate that I have taught my daughters this information
have to teach*
The simple fact that you have compassionately taught them these and more makes you a thoughtful & aware parent. ✊🏼
Well thank you! yes the have to teach is the awful part. Shouldn’t have to happen. Maybe one day we will get there
American women and minorities have been the largest new gun buying demographic for years now. Someone got the memo.
Are americans ok ?
No. Don’t come here it’s actual hell.
Wish these would be single-place issues. As much wish could be non-existing at all… But nope, things happens.
It may not matter if the 1 million citizen city have 10 or 10000 attackers total. It is bad when You find (get found by) just one.
My wife was groped in the paris metro, in case you think this is an American problem. If none of the women you know have shared with you what they go through it’s because they don’t trust you either.
Ce que je veux dire, c’est que le kidnapping en voiture n’est pas une situation typique d’agression : même se faire tripoter dans les TC est rare en comparaison des agressions qui ont lieu dans le foyer ou le lieu de travail. Les conseils donnés ici sont typiquement américains.
Are you trying to gate keep with your French? You posted in English and I replied in kind. These are rare occurrences in America too, but if you care for your daughter or wife or sister or whoever else, you prepared them for the worst so they can still be there with you tomorrow. Don’t use feminism to hide your hate for Americans, that’s gross and you should feel ashamed of it.
Honestly when I replied, I didn’t even realize this was a French instance but the anecdote is the first one that came to mind.
Also lie to yourself about it as much as you want saying that it’s typically done by Americans, but the only one fooled is you, and the group hurt by your prejudice is the women around you that you pretend to stand up for.
Non non, c’est très vrai en france aussi et ça n’a rien de nouveau ni même de si rare.
Je n’ai absolument jamais eu cette expérience mais ok, c’est peut-être un angle mort que j’ai.
On va dire que sans le vivre moi-même, ce sont des choses dont j’ai connaissance depuis assez longtemps.
- une bagnole qui suit une femme dans la rue, y a qu’un pas avant qu’elle se fasse embarquer
- « au feu » au lieu de à l’aide, la première fois que j’ai lu ce conseil c’était par rapport à la france, principalement parce que personne ne répond sous prétexte que “quelqu’un d’autre va forcément passer et faire quelque chose”
- il y a des applications qui indiquent les safe places les plus proches de sa position aux femmes qui sont suivies dans la rue, je parle toujours pour le cas de la france
- pour les attouchements dans les transports en publique ça … ouaip, ça c’est très commun
Ne pas le vivre c’est une chose et c’est tant mieux en fait ! Par contre, et c’est terrible, c’est extrêmement facile de ne pas en entendre parler : les victimes ne sont plus forcément là pour en parler, celles qui le sont n’ont peut-être pas la force de le faire, les plateformes sociales et médiatiques invisibilisent et discréditent …
Ah non mais je parle pas des agressions, je parle des conseils de combat en mode “film d’action”. Dans mon entourage on conseil plutôt de mettre des basket pour pouvoir courir, de demander “Angela” ou de pointer quelqu’un du doigt quand on demande à l’aide pour éviter l’effet témoin.
Women have none of these issues anywhere else on the planet. (JFC, fuck is wrong with some y’all?!)
Yes it happens other places. Yes America is an especially crime riddled hell hole.
“Fire!” : not in a cinema, etc.
For those places, instead you scream “Pervert!” or “Pedophile!”, your choice. ☝🏼
“THIS GUY SHAT HIMSELF!!!”
That might only work to stutter them with shame and get a few looks, but the loud shaming’d be the likeliest takeaway for onlookers. (ie. embarrassing, ignore, etc.)
Something indicating a predatory & criminal act is better to call passersby to action, IMHO.
“GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF ME YOU PEDOPHILE!!”
I’d be surprised if every woman present didn’t descend on said predator in a blink. FAFO. 🤷🏼♂️
Awe image died :(
FYI, the ‘keys between the fingers’ thing doesn’t really work and will probably injure yourself more than anyone you hit with it. Keeping a pepper spray canister on your keyring would be much better.
I tried this piece of advice, but my dad said you have the arm length of a tyrannosaurus, but the legs of a giraffe. Use your legs - I have run from a number of dangerous situations, its the only thing that saved me.

I’m the US.
The entire thing?
Oopsy.
So, did you lose yours, or were you commenting that you’ve managed to keep track of your birth gun?
managed to keep track of your birth gun?
Yeah, but I was born in May, so my birth gun is a .50cal. It’s not practical for everyday carry.
Ah, yes. What a very practical carry gun that is!
I carry a gun myself, but I recognize that it’s not for everybody.
It’s more expensive, has more legal issues surrounding it, is more dangerous, requires more practice and training, is prohibited in more places, is heavier and more difficult to carry, comes with more burden of responsibility, poses more risk to someone who might have mental health issues, etc, etc, etc.
I do think it’s by far the most effective self-defense tool you can have, and good for you if you do … but some people can’t or shouldn’t have one. I wanted to recommend something more accessible and applicable to a wider range of people. Pepper spray still has pretty good effectiveness, and it doesn’t have a lot of the gun’s downsides and problems.
I would 100% react to “help!”, but I would also react to “fire!”, so whatever works, I guess. (Just fire would be a bit confusing at first.)
Hell, it seems like most people would react to a wordless scream.
idk there are schools and a kindergarten near my home and let me tell you, those kids scream while playing. just a few days ago, I heard a super loud scream and it turns out they played soccer, someone scored and they mimicked men cheering after goals, but so much louder. it was almost satirical. my point is: ppl living near/with kids get used to random screams.
I too live near school of screaming kids. I have to admit, touché.
kids need to be taught that screaming is ONLY for emergencies
yes but you’re a cuckboy loser who probably doesn’t even he style, grind, or have more than two or three children locked in you’re basement. I bet you only do one of exploit their labor exploit them sexually and exploit their identities to secure loans! most Americans aren’t that
kindcucked.What the fuck is wrong with you?
Bro I was driving for rideshare and I missed this lady’s turn so she farted. Like that bitch smelled so bad are you fucking kidding me
How about “Stop looking at your phone”, for starters?
If they put you in the trunk and you manage to kick out the headlights from back there… Why did you let them put you in the trunk in the first place.
If you’ve never replaced a car tail light before, why would you make a comment in the first place?
From inside the trunk one can easily access most vehicle’s rear lights. Kicking them until the wiring is damaged or the bulb shatters is easy to conceptualize.
If they put you in the TRUNK and you manage to kick out the HEADLIGHTS from back there…
Please re-read the relevant words.
It was already pointed out to you that the suggestion was to kick out the headlights, not the taillights. But also, what was the last car you owned where the wiring and bulbs were exposed? All of mine have had hard carpet panels in the way and those will absorb a lot of the force when you kick at them.
You’d have to remove those panels first and if you can do that, you’re not really tied up so that means you could probably just straight up tear the wires out by hand quicker than kicking
Look, if a woman can kick through a whole car, why not just obliterate her would be attacker?
Not to victim blame here, but you don’t need to show restraint with kidnappers.
