Most women lead very different lives from men. While the world can be a dangerous place for both genders, women have to be on guard against ruthless predators who would prey on them simply because they are women. Women are often portrayed as weak and unable to defense themselves. But they do not have to be easy victims. In fact, they do not have to be victims at all. If you are a woman, there are feasible ways to avoid unsafe situations by simply following a few basic safety precautions. These are behaviors that you should avoid in order to stay out of harm’s way.

Too Dependent on Men

Women often underestimate their internal and external strength. They think they can just depend solely on men to protect them from harm and danger. Luckily, women are moving away from this primitive mindset and begin to realize their own strength to protect themselves. They do not have to rely on another person. They are strong enough, quick enough, and smart enough to get themselves out of trouble and even gain the upper hand in difficult circumstances.

Inattentive or Inferior Body Language

While this is a big no-no for the job interview, it is also one that all women should work on to avoid in everyday life. Attackers usually prey on victims of opportunity, and they can pick up such signals like poor body language and insecurity. They understand that women who hold themselves with little confidence are likely to be easy victims. They look for women with low confident to be their victims.

Bad Locations and Poor Timing

There are certain places that a woman should avoid, especially during certain times of the day. Avoid potentially dangerous situations unless it is an emergency is the best way for a woman to protect herself from harm of any kind. That might mean taking the elevator instead of the stairs or catching a ride with a friend instead of walking home late at night. Whatever you have to do to stay safe is worth the trouble because you are worth the effort.

If you are tired of living in fear and you no longer want to feel like a victim, these are some of the situations you should avoid. With better common sense and awareness, women can put themselves in position of strength instead of disadvantages. Take charge of your life and enjoy your independence from fear and being victimized.

There is a valid reason why a child is often a better judge of character than their parent or any adult for that matter. Gut feelings are survival instincts we were born with and their job is to keep us alive. A child’s gut feelings are raw as they have yet to be taught to gloss over them with politeness or push them aside opting instead for logic. In fact, gut feelings have absolutely nothing to do with logic, which is why they are so often ignored. The problem with ignoring them is that they are the one and only trustworthy mechanism for your personal safety or that of your child.

Uncle Bob Story:

Let’s say Uncle Bob comes to visit every Thanksgiving and stays with your family for 4 days. The whole family adores Uncle Bob as he is fun, always has a good joke and is willing to pitch in and help.

Your 5-year-old comes to you and says he doesn’t like it when Uncle Bob sits him on his lap. You may say something like, “Oh, Uncle Bob is only here for a few days and wants to spend time with his nephew,” or “That’s silly. Go play in your room.”

Let me ask you two questions:

Are you going to force your child to be near people he is uncomfortable with so that you don’t feel embarrassed? If Uncle Bob is a pedophile, are you going to get the vibes not being in his age range or is your child, who is in his age range?

See how easy it is to tell (and show) your child that his survival instincts are unimportant? Do you think he will come to you again in the same situation? Do you think your response could possibly cost him his innocence?

The point I’m making is brutal because of its importance and intensity. We have to reawaken our sensitivities as adults because society has programmed us to avoid making waves. I’m sure you agree that making waves is far superior to enabling predators.

Remember, pedophiles groom children and families to trust and believe in them before they attack. They often target single moms and enter the relationship as the savior, the hero. They provide comfort, stability and a father figure…until they attack. Then people’s lives are changed forever.

What if Uncle Bob is not a pedophile; your child just does not like him, you ask?

Your child will have to go to school and work with people he doesn’t like. Home is supposed to be a safe haven. Letting him know that his feelings are valid and of the utmost importance by helping make other arrangements for Uncle Bob will raise his self-esteem and enhance your relationship with him forever.

There are many excellent Uncle Bobs out there just as there are many excellent men who date and marry single moms. The key is to trust your gut feelings and pay especially close attention to your child’s. Facilitate the growth and awareness of their survival instincts and in so doing, you will automatically acknowledge and trust your own, which will keep the entire family safer from creeps and criminals.

What if you haven’t followed your gut feelings and nothing bad has happened to you?

Super! But when you acknowledge your gut feelings, which you have about every person, place or situation, you will know when one is exceptionally strong. Follow that one. It could save your life or that of a loved one.


Pet People

If you have pets, you’ve probably noticed their behavior around people who turn out to be detrimental is or was different than around those who are of good character. That is because animals rely on their survival instincts (gut feelings) to stay alive and never question them. If they are uncomfortable, there is no question and they do not stick around to be polite. We can and should learn a lot from our pets.

Tips to help you nurture your child’s gut feelings:

Ask your child how he or she feels about people you came in contact with throughout the day. Ask your child which person he or she would feel comfortable asking for help if if was needed. Have a secret code word so that your child can alert you when he or she feels uncomfortable around someone so you can take action and remove yourselves from the situation immediately. Make a pact with your child that you will believe him or her when the topic is safety and that they will always tell the truth about safety situations. In my Safe Kids class, we have both parent and child actually sign an agreement. It makes both parent and child feel more accountable and comforts the child. Always opt for your child’s comfort with people first and yours second.

Now you know why children are often better judges of character than adults even though they may not know what it is they are doing.

Women’s Safety and the Taser

Personal protection is very important, especially for women. Predators, thieves and stalkers are just some of the people that women need to worry about when they are out. These types of people hide out waiting for the chance to catch a woman alone. The most common places are walking home in both broad daylight and in the dark at night, leaving the grocery store and walking to your car in mall parking lots. While these are not all of the hot spots for foul play they are some of the most common.

Many women think it is hard to protect themselves but the truth is, with the right tools and knowledge, you can scare off dangerous people as mentioned above. One of the most popular tools that women use today are taser guns. These are ideal for any situation and they are easy to conceal so your predator will not be aware that you have it. This makes it better to take him by surprise as he or she will not be expecting this type of response from you.

You need to remember that your attacker will be expecting some sort of fighting response from you so if they are not aware that you have a taser then you can catch the attacker off guard and give yourself a chance to get away to get help. One of the great benefits of taser guns is the fact that you can take down a person that is much larger than you are. You also do not need to be up close in order to taser the person as these taser guns work up to 15 feet away just as well as close contact.

When you taser a person you temporarily immobilize then with an electrical shock. This causes the persons muscles to freeze up and most likely fall down to the ground. These effects of taser guns are not long lasting but it gives you the edge you need to get away. The person being tasered will experience temporary intense pain but keep in mind that this will not last long. It is meant to give you time to get away from your attacker.

Once the taser is turned off, the pain subsides and the person will regain their composure slowly and be back up and moving around again., The movement will be a bit slow at first but it will be just a matter of minutes before he or she is on their feet. There is no real damage done to the person and as mentioned above, once it is turned off, the pain and stress subside rather quickly.

If you are considering getting something for personal protection then look into taser guns. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes so that they can be used by anyone. Women of all ages, especially seniors would benefit greatly from owning their own personal taser gun. They are easy to conceal and give you instant protection from all sorts of attacker.,

1. Think they will never be or could never be a victim of assault. Everyone is a potential victim. Believing you are immune from assault is a recipe for disaster.

2. Consider their neighborhood as a safe haven and impervious to danger. No place is totally safe from danger. We must always be prepared.

3. Not invest in a self-defense or rape prevention class or workshop. One does not have to be a black belt to defend oneself. Learning a few basic skills can help save one’s life and the investment is minimal.

4. Assume a blind belief that this is a Pollyanna World devoid of predators. This is a predatory world, not a paradise. One does not have to be paranoid, but one should never not be aware of one’s surroundings.

5. Let their children out of their site in public places such as parks, school grounds and theme parks. Every day somewhere young children are left alone at parks and on school grounds. This is a huge mistake. Predators can grab a child and be off and away is seconds.

6. Not be aware of who’s watching them when they’re shopping. Predators are hunters. They frequent places where females and children gather. You should always be cognizant of who may be watching or following you. If you think someone is following you, go to the most crowded place, seek security, make noise if you have to. Don’t be silent.

7. Fail to observe the vehicles located around their vehicle, especially vans adjacent to their driver’s side door. A common practice for predators is to park their van so its sliding door is adjacent to the potential victim’s driver’s side door. When the potential victim is at her vehicle’s door, the predator quickly slides the van door open, grabs the victim, pulls her inside and leaves the area.

8. Fail to look under and in their vehicle before they enter it. Predators can hide and lie in wait under a vehicle, slash their victim’s ankles as they enter the vehicle and proceed to finish their assault.

9. Walk or jog at night alone. Walking or jogging alone at night is asking for trouble, especially if there is a regular pattern and timing to the exercise.

10. Never allow themselves to be transported by a stranger to another place. Predators usually attempt to move their victims to a remote and private location where they can do their heinous deeds. Never be transported.

11. Failure to be proactive in their defense or fighting if necessary. Don’t think the cavalry will appear out of nowhere to save you. Predators prey on those who are alone, on their own and appear weak and not alert. Take your safety in your own hands and mind. Don’t wait for someone else to save you. Remember, when you’re alone, you’re on your own. You and you alone are your own protector and savior.

12. Give up when being assaulted. This is vital. If you’re being assaulted, you must never give up, never. ~ end
