    Drink for every slut shaming, victim blaming piece of trash in this thread.

    Seriously, if you're gonna go and blame a woman for a man's disgusting behavior, you need to go sit in a corner and rethink your life. And if you're a man who advocates the sad opinion that women need to dress themselves in turtlenecks and hide their ankles because men are mindless sex animals who just can't help themselves when confronted with a scantily clad woman, you're an embarrassment to your species.

    I always carry a knife or pepper spray! You should, too!

    Pepper spray, rape alarm- yes. A knife or gun -No.
    Always remember men are usually bigger and stronger than you! if they can take a weapon off you they can use it against you.

    Yes I get sexually harassed a lot now I've lost some weight a put on a bit of muscle but people think it's okay because I'm a guy but to be honest it's not, it is annoying beyond belief and I'm sure if the roles where reversed and if the behaviour I'm subjected to was done to a woman; it would be taken seriously.

    I can't say too much here because there are people on my friendslist who I know in real life (I don't like giving too much information of my personal life), but yes, I've been sexually harassed since losing weight, even by someone who I thought was a friend. It got so bad that it was taking its toll on my mental health and I was treated for anxiety, so then I had to get official help involved. But on the bright side, I've learned how to defend myself.

    It's sad because I fell out with someone I know on the grounds that I was "asking for it". Because losing weight CLEARLY means I want to be pawed at by a stranger or have my friend turn into a testosterone-fueled a**hole, and it has NOTHING to do with my asthmatic needs at all. Guh. Also, I was wearing baggy pants and an oversized poloshirt on both occasions. Sometimes clothes have nothing to do with it - if someone wants to hurt you, they've already made their decision. :/

    Training = 7 hour class where they show you a gun, then you shoot at targets.. here is your certificate and license.. Go out and protect yourself..
    You think that's training.. must be one of those people that think they need to carry an AR-15 cause you will end up missing your target, hitting pedestrians but hey.. at least you grazed your target.

    I hate to burst your bubble, but 7 hours of training with a gun won't get you good enough to pass the test.
    That 7 hours of "training" you have to go through in your mind is ALL in classroom safety instruction. You're on your own to get the skill to take the test OUTSIDE the classroom.
    You also have to go through fingerprinting and background checks.

    And to correct some more misinformation... an AR15 is not a rapid fire machine gun. Those weapons have been illegal to civilians since 1934. If you can't hit a target with a pistol, you also probably won't be able to hit it with a SINGLE FIRE AR15 rifle.

    edited for spelling.
    AR15 sold to civilians are still semi-automatic... But you are right, the M16 which is basically the same weapon with different firing mechanism is the actual automatic one.
