Neil, I know it isn't an easy thing to do...but in the situations that these women were in......an office, a studio, a dressing room - somewhwere that there is likely to be someone in the vicinty, it should be a safe technique....but up a back alley in the dark or in a lonely place this is not appropriate advce......unless you have other self defence skills, and are a good long distance runner.

Women need to be far more aware of the dangers they may subject themselves to. They should be able to see dangers of sexual predators, and protect themselves.

A knee to the gonads delivers such pain that it should give the victim a sporting chance of making an exit...and you know the old Confucuis saying? Girl with skirt up runs much faster than man with pants down
