These just perpetuate the myth that a woman must stay at home with the doors locked, or be in the constant protection of a man..." I attended such a seminar for home owners, which included a marvelous film, aimed at the elderly, but with lots of genuine good advise on how to deal with someone who grabs you from behind (grab for the balls), attacks from in front with a knife (go for the eyeballs), or confronts you with a gun (give in). In the film, a policeman/lecturer was speaking to a group of the elderly, and brought individuals up from the audience, showing them how to defend themselves as he "attacked" them. judith brunix!jss
