Almost all women were taught at least some of these “life skills” when they were young girls. It’s absolutely horrendous that as a society this is still where we’re at. Perhaps we should put some more energy into teaching young boys that harassment and violence towards women is wrong. There are always far too many “boys will be boys”, or “but otherwise he was a good young man” excuses, even in court. Frankly, women are completely fed up with it. 🤬

Were you taught these “life skills” or any others as a young girl? Let us know in the comments below!
I was saw first hand that if someone is trying to carry you away and are holding you go limp. A young woman had a man standing behind her in a store and put his arms around her to carry her. She put her hands above her head and sunk to the ground the best she could. She was also yelling and screaming and he ended up running out of the store and she lived to tell the police. She did everything right! I’ve made sure my girls know about that too.
