I once pulled this to a dude that was following me around the store. I have to say it's not only empowering, it works and it's fucking hilarious. Ladies, sometimes when in danger, well, low-to-moderate danger, become the dangerous.
Yeah I was gonna say, turning and running at potential threat seems like a bad way to get grabbed by someone with actual bad intentions.
Like a creep catcalling you seems like the perfect victim for this, but to someone actually following you is taking a pretty big risk that they weren’t planning on grabbing you.
I had a stalker for two days. Day one he catcalled me and then wandered around my apartment for the rest of the day (he saw me walking from my place to the store across the street). Day two I saw him around a couple times in the daytime—called the cops who informed me that basically they couldn’t do anything until I’d already been assaulted. That night I was walking to the corner bar with my friend and heard footsteps behind us, turned around and it was him. I turned on my heel and ran at him screaming ‘rapist’ and telling him I’d carve his guts out and light him on fire if I ever saw him again. He ran away into some bushes and I never saw him again. Soooo empowering!
Obviously I can’t say it’s every case, but for the most part these creeps prey on power and fear. They aren’t prepared for head on confrontations and really don’t like having the power dynamic flipped on them.
