Maybe if boys and men knew that they could be seriously hurt if they lifted their hands or opened their pants against the opposite sex, their abuse could be stopped.

Including this one: should I fight back if I am attacked or will I just be hurt more badly?

Every situation is different and you have to use your best instincts. But in general, it’s a good idea to fight back when you find yourself in an attack situation.  Women who fight back are injured less often and are more successful in stopping the attack no matter what kind of attack it is.  They feel better about themselves afterwards too.

People who’ve never been in a situation where they wanted to fight often think that they couldn’t fight, but you will find, if you’re faced with a life or death situation, that it’s very easy to fight. But you need to know how to fight back in order for that instinct to be effective.  You need to break through that emotional barrier you’ve instilled and be confident that you have the ability to protect yourself.
