Sarcasm Abounds

Please, go ye forth and read Rainbow Girl’s guide on how to victimize yourself before others can victimize you! Or at least, her guide to dealing with websites that give what can only with charity be described as misguided advice.

For women only. Because we all know men are the only perpetrators of violence, particularly sexual violence. (At least until they’re in prison. Then we call it “getting what they deserve.”)

In all seriousness, if you’re interested in advice on this subject — that is, how to keep yourself safe from not only physical assault but from creeps and stalkers of all kinds — I highly recommend Gavin de Becker’s The Gift of Fear*. May you never have to make use of the advice within: but I don’t know any feeling more empowering than knowing exactly how to defuse the situation when someone’s threatening you.
