Megan do you know a womens dating course that would be welcome???
Could you elaborate what you mean with "womens dating course"?
And if I could it would not helpful most of the time because we live in different countries.
Megan Yes to the self confidence and counseling but no to the self defense...
Well I own some handguns but women aren't responsible for defending themselves.
Regarding self defence. Please have in mind that the situation in your country and state is different to my country and state. Everyone has to decide for themselves what is the right thing to do in this kind of situation.
Let's assume a young man from a stable social environment and an intact family thinks he can get an acquaintance to have sex with him. Therefore, he approaches her briskly in the hope that she will go along with him. I think here it will be enough to confront him confidently, refuse vigorously and threaten to report him to the family or the police if he does not stop.
A woman is groped by a man, which already indicates that he wants to rape her. This is critical and she can possibly surprise him with a kick between the legs and immediately run away to an area where she can get help. So where there are other people. This might help but not if he recovers faster than hoped.
Other situation. A woman, confident and sporty. Has taken a self-defence course. Looks very good in her new short skirt and is walking through a part of the city that is not known to be safe. She is being harassed by a group of men. I can only say that she can hardly behave any more stupidly.
A self defence course will help in your daily life but you should think further in which situation you are going to see where the danger is. Avoid dangers that you cannot handle safely.
