Words are really not necessary - rather than this: "You suddenly don't look quite so tough with your pants around your ankles." :-)

A bargain
Negotiating with a robber? Sure, why not - as long as you're able to assess the dangers involved, it is absolutely possible at times.
It is of course far better to let a robber have your money without any resistance what so ever. After all, you still have the most important stuff - your life; plus your keys, vital papers, drivers licence, and bank cards.
Story:
Brooklyn, New York -- Two women were attacked at gunpoint in separate subway station incidents just days - and blocks - apart, police said.
One victim managed to bargain her assailant down, and the other held onto her belongings, but suffered a terrible beating.
On May 27, a thug with a silver semi-automatic gun robbed a woman leaving a G-train station at 11 p.m. She stepped off a Queens-bound train and was headed up the stairs, out of the station, when she was attacked.
The man in front of her suddenly wheeled around and pointed the shiny 9mm gun in her face. "Give me your purse," the man said. But the woman stalled, asking, "Can I just give you my wallet?"
When he agreed, she actually pulled out cash from her billfold and handed over the greenbacks - a total of $165.
"Now walk down the stairs," the robber instructed. She complied, turning and heading back down into the station.

Took a lickin'
Licking the shoes of people walking in New York City ... Yeah I love New York, but not this much. And I kind of "worship" women too, but again, there's a limit to it!
Story:
New York -- A man was recently sentenced for kissing and licking the shoes and feet of women on the subway. The man reportedly bowed down and chanted, "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!"
The Brooklyn man was snagged by police last May after a woman fought off his foot-licking on a Queens-bound E train. He later confessed to police that he had assaulted more than 70 women.

A hood-head
Found this at hollabacknyc blogspot (a great blog by the way!).
Stories like this really makes me ashamed to be a member of the male population. There really are some pathetic and ignorant individuals out there ...
Story:
Tonight around 10 p.m., on a train back to her apartment in Williamsburg, a hooded man seated next to my best friend, a 22 year old woman, whispered in her ear "I am going to follow you when you get up."
He did follow her, just a step behind, up the subway steps of her stop and out onto the street. With great clarity in a life-threatening moment, she stepped inside a bodega, while he stood outside, waiting for her, and was fortunate to find a couple who were willing to walk her the few steps from the market to her apartment door.
When they exited the bodega, the hooded man was still there, waiting for his (potential) victim. Unfortunately, it took the help of two people--a woman to make her feel safe, and a man to protect her-- to allow this woman to arrive home unharmed.
The most important part of this is that my friend is safe, but I feel such anger and rage that men like this, who derive such a false, disgusting sense of power from physically and sexually threatening women in public (or private), can make strong, smart, powerful women like my friend doubt their decision to live alone if they choose, to live free and independent lives, or to merely live at all. I am completely disgusted, and concerned for my friend.
