The way they immediately had that look of shock their faces says everything. ALL men literally have no conception of what a woman constantly thinks about in scenarios where they might have to defend themselves.

seriously. many years ago, i was having breakfast with two male friends and, i don't know how the conversation led to this but, i mentioned how every day when i'm getting ready one of my considerations for getting dressed is "will i be harassed by a man for wearing this?" and in response he laughed like it was the most dramatic and absurd thing he'd heard.

straight masc men will simply never, ever get it.

I’ve held my keys between my fingers so many times. I hate how much pleasure I got from that scene in Maxxxine when she punched Kevin Bacon’s face with her keys 😂😬

I've heard not to do that.

“First, the metal jagged area of the key can easily cause damage to the skin between the fingers when being used violently,” he wrote. “Sharp pain like that can lead to opening of the fingers which will immediately reduce the effectiveness of any strike.”
The base of the key hitting the inside of your hand after impact would also be painful, he added, all of which means you might drops your keys, leaving them vulnerable to a bad guy scooping them up. (And you’d be locked out of the house.) However, Gavish does note that if you have to throw a big ring of keys in someone’s face to get away, that’s an option.
He also suggests that if you must use your keys to fight, try “closing a fist around it with the sharp edge coming out the bottom or pinky side.”

That makes a lot of sense but I feel like they’re a better option than nothing? Even if you just use them to scratch the shit out of someone to distract them enough to then run? Idk, I hope I never have to use them.

There's stuff like this, that can be put on a key ring. But may not be quite legal & can't be taken on a plane.

I laughed at how it may not be legal because it reminds me of how when I moved states my pepper spray was no longer legal and if I should use it (luckily i haven’t had to) I could be the one arrested. Don’t get me wrong, the wrong people could use these defense options yet guns are okkkkkkkkk.

I may have to look into buying one of those.

i remember one of the first times we hung out with a friend of ours who is a straight man, and we were sitting in a park and it was evening, and people would approach us or come and want to talk to us like every 15 minutes, and my friend went "Is it always like this?" and we were like "yes". He was shook, said he'd never get out of the house if he had to deal with that.

Like, I didn't even think it was strange people did that to us, so while our friend realised something about Existing as a Woman... so did the rest of us.

Yup, even the “good ones” prove how fucking ignorant they are.
