People have no idea how many  women I come across who live in the unreliable comfort of it won’t happen to me, and if it does there is nothing I can do about it. Forgive me but that is  incredibly fucking selfish.

Everyone owes it to their family, friends and loved ones to take charge of their own safety however you decided to do it. The people that love you can’t always be there to protect you. When I leave my girlfriends apartment there is nothing I can do for her if someone kicks in her door, she needs to have a when he’s not here plan. That maybe guns, pepper spray, a bat, something to even the playing field.

Yes, there are some circumstances you can’t do anything about, but there are so many other circumstances that will allow you to fend for yourself. Don’t subject your loved ones to the grief of losing you or dealing with something happening to you when you could have done something about it.

If in the end, the initiative you took to defend yourself doesn’t work, your loved ones will take comfort in knowing you did all you could to remain in their lives and through the tears they can smile knowing you went down fighting to stay in their lives.

Now watch the video below and smile.
