Despite the availability to buy inexpensive, non-lethal self protection devices on the internet, the statistics for rape, sexual abuse, kidnappings, and assault against women are alarmingly increasing with each passing day. More than 350 rapes occur each year per various colleges across the U.S. and this number does not include the unreported attacks. Women joggers are prime victims of being attacked, especially if they are alone. What is most shocking is the fact that many women know their attackers -- husbands, boyfriends, even fathers and brothers . According to a study done by the National Center for Victims of Crime, more than a million women nationwide are stalked each year and two-thirds of women who are murdered by men they know were stalked by those men prior to their deaths.
Ladies-WAKE UP!!! Self Protection devices are affordable, legal in most states and will not kill the son-of-a-bitch who tries to attack you. Tasers are somewhat pricey (around $349) but many women don't think twice of buying a pair of designer jeans for the same price but shy away from spending money on a personal protection device that may save their life. Stun guns range from $50 to $80 and most pepper sprays start as low as $10.00. Personal Protection devices are easy to use and compact enough to stick in your bag, hook on your belt or small enough to attach to your key chain. Whatever is your preference, there are many options available and you NEED to start doing your research NOW!!! There are also a variety of self-defense instructional videos that will show you how to escape from your attacker's grip in case he gets that close (that's why you need a personal protection device to zap the bastard before he gets anywhere near you).
Girls between the ages of 11 and 19 MUST download the free video, "JUST YELL FIRE". This video teaches girls how to fight back against their predators and live their life without fear. Moms, grandmothers, sisters, daughters - please go to http://www.justyellfire.com/ and watch a video that may save a young girl's life.
Remember ladies, dead women don't dance and I want you to dance for many, many years to come!!
The statistics prove what is going out there in the world and you need to protect yourselves with a personal protection device as well as learn simple self-defense techniques to knock the prick down if he has the chance to grab you. PLEASE--do not become a statistic yourself and get ARMED NOW!!!!!!

As a man, I find it amazing that men still get off on beating up women. Don't understand it and never will. It is truly time for women to stand up and fight back. Their contributions, both at home and in society are endless and without them, none of us would be here today. Thank God for women! It is definitely time for them to start fighting back and standing up for themselves because society has not yet taken a solid stance on domestic abuse and sexual abuse. I say fight back and always be prepared to defend yourself.
