Everyone is talking about rape and violence to women. My ten year old daughter takes a 2 times a week course in self defense. Just making fun I told her that the whole course was a joke. She grabbed my thumb and flipped me across the living room. I now watch out and do not make fun of 10 year old girls. On television they showed young girls how to scream when old men want them to get into cars. My 3 year old thinks it is funny and screams like this every time we are in the supermarket. 15 people want to know what I am doing everytime she wants to test her lungs. Now I show respect for 3 year old babies. Now you are telling me that the rest are buying pink 357 SW for their handbags. What is a professional rapist to do? Concentrate on your erection at the same time ward off a Kung Fu killer, screamer and the old or ugly lady armed with a 357 magnum? I would like to meet the "rapest" who can move forward with all of these distractions.
