Ninety Percent of Physical Attacks Are Against Women

Ninety Percent of Physical Attacks Are Against Women

By Rocco W Sarracino

Since the beginning of time women have often found themselves the victims of abuse, merely because they carry the stigma of being the weaker sex. During the time of kings and pharaohs, women were considered as second class citizens, and this reigns true, even up to the mid-19th century.

This mentality has just recently receded but is still practiced in some areas of the world and is even embraced by some faith extremists. This type of thinking is usually the leading cause of why women are physically, sexually and verbally abused more often than males.

The sad truth about physical attacks on women is that they are usually perpetrated by people they are close to, like their husbands, boyfriends, male friends and even some family members. It is actually less common for a woman to be a victim of an attacker who is unknown to her than it is for her to be in a relationship with the person. In modern and in some third world countries laws have been made to address this problem, but as many criminals demonstrate there is often little respect for laws. Attacks still continue and women need to protect themselves from those who have the capacity to perform such horrendous acts.

In order to deter assailants from participating in abusive behavior it is recommended that women must have protective devices available on-hand at all times, like pepper sprays, Tasers or stun guns. Disguised stun guns and pepper sprays must be utilized to achieve its purpose and surprise the attacker, leaving him incapable of harm. Stun guns and pepper sprays are capable of rendering an assailant helpless for minutes at time allowing the victim to call for help or run to safety.

Stun guns have the capacity to deliver up to 5 million volts of electricity, leaving the prospective assailant immobile for an extended period of time.

Women simply have to aim a taser in the direction of the perpetrator and shoot, the taser will do the rest. Pepper spray will make an offender have a terrible cough and become temporarily blinded. Pepper sprays are highly irritable to mucus membranes and can render a person helpless, thus making escape possible for a female victim.

As these devices are disguised they may look like a cell phone, flashlight or other common everyday items that women carry in their purses or pockets. With these types of features surprise, will be at the side of the women giving them the advantage against their attacker. Preventing an assault will be more probable once women have these devices in their possession and understand how to efficiently use them.

Women need not be fearful for being the "weaker sex", as men may believe this all they want, women know otherwise. These devices will stop them in their tracks and prevent them from doing harm against the people that they consider weak and helpless. Such weapons if applied correctly by women will give these men second thoughts about whom the weaker sex actually is.
