While teaching women how to prevent and fight back against sexual violence is positive and necessary, it is also great to see the root of the problem being addressed!
Story:
Oklahoma City -- A state Health Department official says an all-male education program is helping change the attitudes of men about sexual assault on college campuses in Oklahoma.
Steve Nedbalek told a legislative task force today he's optimistic the agency's "Man to Man" education program is attacking the problem of sexual assaults on women on campuses.
The program started in 2004 with the goal of changing attitudes toward rape and helping men understand what constitutes sexual coercion.

More "fire"
Jacksonville, Florida -- On the northwest side of town, a woman did exactly what some of the experts say you should do when faced with a would be carjacker.
She got out of her car when a teenager came up in a hooded sweat jacket and tried to take it. The woman screamed "FIRE!"
Some experts say screaming "FIRE" can often times get attention more quickly. The guy took off.

Another suicide
You must read this article by Esther Rantzen about bullying! It is disturbing and sad, to say the least.
It really is one of the great mysteries of life, how utterly cruel people, young as well as old, can be towards one another.
Story:
"The National Union of Teachers has just conducted a survey which found that women teachers are often confronted by classroom louts who abuse them with sexual jibes. The NUT says it heard 'some horrible stories'."
"In Weston-super-Mare I met Barry, a young man with Asperger's, a form of autism. He had been bullied at school for five years and became shy, withdrawn and friendless. Exhausted physically and mentally by being used as a punch-bag, he learned martial arts. Once the bullies realised he could defend himself, the physical bullying stopped. But he is still the target of taunts and name-calling in the street."

From media reports it may seem that attacks on people delivering pizza is happening all the time.
I do wonder if these companies have put any protective strategies to work. Or do they figure that robberies and assaults are simply "occupational hazards"?
Story:
A Colorado Springs pizza delivery man was attacked from behind and robbed of all of his pizza. It happened in an apartment complex Friday.
Witnesses say that there were 6 or 7 people in their late teens or early twenties that had ordered pizza to an apartment address. Once the delivery man came, he was hit on the head from behind with a rock and the pizza was taken. The man was sent to the hospital and required 13 staples in his head. Police have made no arrests.

An International day
Just a quick reminder: Today, November 25, is declared by the United Nations as the 'International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.'
It could be interesting to note that the Taliban in Afghanistan may believe that they are passing a truly great gift to their woman. You see, they are discussing a change in one of their many strict laws and regulations.
At present, for a Taliban man to be found guilty of rape, the victim needs to have four male witnesses. Well, of course they have to be male, you can't trust a woman - we all know that ...
The wise, and heavily bearded leaders of the Taliban are talking back and forth if maybe - just maybe - one male witness is enough. As far as I know they haven't even begun to consider how many women would equal these male witnesses.
Boy, do we have a long way to go!
From thenews.com.pk: "When we talk about violence against women, the general notion is of physical violence, sexual or otherwise. But this is just one kind of violence that women all over the world are subjected to.
Violence takes different forms and dimensions. The psychological pressures that oppressive customs and traditions exert on women; lack of equal access to opportunities for self actualisation and economic independence; no control over reproductive choices etc. are all forms of violence that relegate that status of women second to that of men and restricts them from fulfilling their potential.
In fact all sorts of violence against women have their roots in the dynamics of gender relations that a society develops. And let's face it, gender relations have been historically unequal."

Friendliness
A common way to have you lower your guard: (too much) friendliness.
Story:
Norway – An 18-year-old female was on her way to a friend in Trondheim. She had spent a night on town, had been arguing with somebody and was subsequently walking on her own.
As she was walking, she met an unknown male. The man noticed that she was upset; he asks her for her name and gives her his jacket when she says she’s cold.
The man also asks her where she’s going – suggesting to the young woman she might want to follow him home to his place.
The teenager says no. When she tries to leave, the man holds her back. The female breaks free and escapes. Running away, she believes she has lost the man. But after a while she can hear footsteps behind her.
Finding that she’s being followed by the same person, she presses a random doorbell to a nearby residence. She shouts and begs to be let in.
The assailant grabs her and pushes her against a wall while he attempts to sexually assault her. He holds a hand over her mouth and tells her to be quiet. The intended victim, however is screaming during the whole ordeal.
A young woman living close by has heard the commotion. When she arrives at the scene, the attacker takes off.

'Swordid'
The old saying 'never bring a sword to a gunfight' turns out to be bad advice – at least for Guillermo Tovar, who survived being held at gunpoint in his own house when he cut the gunman's trigger finger off before he could fire.
The gunmen broke in to Tovar's east Memphis house in the small hours of the morning on November 4. They kicked down his front door, pointed a gun at his son's head and demanded cash and jewelery, before pistol-whipping Tovar unconscious.
It was when Tovar came to that things got interesting. He grabbed a sword from underneath the couch - described as a cavalry-type sabre, which the household used for cutting vegetation in the garden – and confronted the burglars. With a gun pointed at him and the intruder's finger already on the trigger, Tovar swung the sword – cutting the man's trigger finger off.

UK -- A nurse who quit her job after being kicked by a patient last night welcomed the sentence imposed on her attacker - saying assaults on hospital staff should not be tolerated.
The 28-year-old, who worked as a bank nurse at Colchester General Hospital for 12 years, told of the trauma and injuries suffered in the incident - which temporarily left her unable to pick up her young child.
Mrs Rice said: “The attack left me winded and bruised. The woman hit me on the shoulder, knocking me to the ground, and then kicked me in the knee.
The wife of a paramedic, Mrs Rice revealed the attack was “the straw that broke the camel's back”.

Ebay, Craigslist, your local paper... they're all great places to unload your unwanted clutter, but El Paso County detectives say they also can make you a prime target for crime.

Gun-nut
This "nutty" incident occurred in Wichita, Kansas, after a dispute that reportedly involved stereo speakers (apparently very nice speakers).
Three men, aged 23, 20 and 18, confronted a teenager on Monday afternoon. The eldest would-be kidnapper pulled out a gun and fired at the teen, but missed. He then shoved the gun back into the waistband of his trousers. That's when it went off, shooting him in the left testicle.
This event caused the man to "wince" and unfortunately for him, the motion of wincing caused the gun to go off again. Luckily for him, it didn't take out the other testicle. It just shot him in the left calf instead.

Miramar, Florida -- A Wingate Inn hotel clerk was hospitalized early Tuesday morning and remains in stable condition after she was brutally beaten during an attempted sexual assault.
Police say a hotel guest attacked the clerk around midnight and tried to sexually assault her. According to police, the man first propositioned the 19-year old clerk for oral sex in exchange for money.
The woman refused and the suspect walked away. But he returned less than an hour later and made another lewd offer. When the woman declined his advances, he asked her for access to the business center. Once inside, he tried to rape her, a Miramar police spokesman said.
When she laid down and he went to pull her skirt up, she started to fight back. During the fight however, the attacker broke her jaw and knocked out several teeth.Ultimately, she was able to escape and find help.
The suspect, who is from the town of Seminole, fled on foot. Police later found him covered in blood at a nearby Chevron station.

All well, Elle!
UK -- Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson fought off a mugger Tuesday night on her way to a charity function in London. Macpherson was attacked just as she was crossing the road to the Move For AIDS VIP charity function's red carpet.
A witness tells London's Daily Star newspaper, "We all just looked in horror as we saw a figure in a hoody come out of the shadows.
"But as soon as he grabbed for Elle's bag, she swung around quite calmly, just went for his arm and got her bag ... it looked so simple.
"The mugger ... staggered back, then ran for it. The lights changed and we tried to follow, but he managed to get away."
Macpherson is known to use the martial art Tai Chi for meditation and relaxation.

It was a peach
Man, I love stories like these!
Story:
UK -- Three would-be muggers who targeted a pensioner fled empty-handed after their victim, an ex-Army and England boxer, punched one of them on the chin.
Former middleweight George Bayliss, 67, had just drawn his pension when the three men surrounded him and demanded he handed over his money.
"I just threw a left at him – it was a peach, a real cracker," said George.
"I was really angry. I worked hard for that money, I did my time – they're not having it. That was my attitude. If I go down, I go down fighting.
"I think really they were a bit shocked – they picked on the wrong person."
George was in town on Tuesday when he noticed a group of five men hanging around outside the post office in Cornhill.
Three of these men later approached him in St John's Street and demanded he hand over his pension. After he punched one of them, all three ran off.
George, who holds several Amateur Boxing Association titles, still trains and goes running. He has also learnt the martial art Tai Kwon Do and taught his three sons Mark, Ben and Wayne to box.

Increase in reports
East Tennessee State University -- There were three reported cases of sexual assault on campus in 2006, up from one in 2005, according to a public safety officer.
"I'm not alarmed by the increase," said the coordinator of outreach programs at the counseling center. "I'm more concerned about people who aren't getting help that need help."
The coordinator said the increase in reported sexual assaults does not suggests that more rapes are occurring. She attributes the increase to this year's higher student enrollment and a raised awareness of knowing how and whom to report the crimes. She also said she believes that sexual assault is "grossly underreported on campus."

No hugs please
Somewhat "harmless", yet very annoying!
Here are some advice against people (mostly male family members) who insist on giving all women they meet a "friendly" bear hug.
Both methods here may indeed prove effective, one "a little" less subtle than the other ...
Story:
Dear Abby: May I offer a method that's fast, effective and creates very little attention: When Uncle Harry approaches with open arms, the woman should hold her upper arms close to her chest and slide her forearms up and in front of her breasts. Clenching her fists will provide strength to her upper arms. This position will protect her breasts from contact with Uncle Harry and increase the circumference for her upper body, making a bear hug more difficult.
While holding this posture, she should make direct eye contact and firmly say, "No!" Nothing more. A wishy-washy response will not be effective. He may object, cajole or question, but regardless of what he says, or how many times he persists, her only response should be to repeat, "I said, 'No!"' or, "I do not want you to hug me." -- An Old Man Who Knows What Works
Dear Abby: I know a lady who had the same problem, and after three warnings, she finally became fed up. She was a black belt in karate. Needless to say, it worked like a charm. And after another woman did the same thing to the man, he started being an even better "Christian." -- On the Ladies' Side in N.Y.
