A desire to belong is the reason women respond with tolerance to the sexual advances of men. I witnessed it as a freshman who never went to coed and public schools prior to pursuing an undergraduate degree.
I would hate to strike anyone as being puritanical but every social gathering that took place by sundown made me want to carry a Taser to prevent rape, physical abuse and other teenage violence.
My older brother got a Taser C2 after high school. He would be home some weekends and explain to me how this self defense weapon fired a pair of darts attached to wire from a secure distance of up to 15 feet.
He said not to worry about handling a C2 after consuming alcohol, or heaven forbid, a date rape drug. I could aim it anywhere on the body of an assaulter. He said to wait until I was 18 to legally carry a Taser to prevent rape.
I now know he was not kidding, not about the Taser C2 nor the words of advice. How I came to find out he was dead serious was itself a learning experience.
A boy I was with during a music festival was being nice to me all of a sudden. I guess I did not seem like the type to carry a Taser to prevent rape. I did not mind because I was with friends in a place I had been to, and he was a fellow dormer.
We were in the thick of the crowd, kids who were intoxicated and blissed out, when he made a quite forceful sexual proposition. I turned it down and he got mad. I had to deal with him all by myself.
I did not have to shoot my C2. He backed off when he saw that I had the presence of mind to carry a Taser to prevent rape. I learned that night to stop being obliging even if it meant I stopped being popular.
