Did you urinate or vomit on your 'rapist'? If the answer is no, well then I guess you must have wanted to be raped. End of discussion. I have to wonder if they even talked with experts on the subject to see if these are deterrents.

2. This strikes me as potentially VERY dangerous advice . . .

. . . Urinating or vomiting on a rapist could very well enrage him, and thus put the woman's life at risk. Very irresponsible advice, IMO.

Where we were told that it was our responsibility to make a potential rapist murder us instead. After all, being raped is a sin, but being murdered instead makes you a saint.

5. "THis is a pro gun thing" Context is everything. This isn't really about rape advice.

6. It amazes me that people don't understand that rape is an assault, not an act of sexual passion.

If you're a man and this advice sounds good to you, next time some bruiser in a bar starts giving you a hard time, just pee on him and see how that works out.

7. Knee-jerk response by gun nuts to a bill passed by the Colorado House of Representatives

that bans guns on university campuses.

According to Pakman, it comes from the city of Colorado Springs Department of Public Safety and University of Colorado.

Not the type of thing I expect any university to back -- at least not the student body.

guns nipped on campus, so let's change the topic to...ah...ah...I know, RAPE. Then stupidity breaks a move and it ain't none too pretty. Embarrassing, no?

16. I remember about 25 years or so ago hearing of a woman who used an interesting approach.

She fell to hands and knees and began making mooing noises and eating grass. She got lucky - the rapist was so disgusted that he just left. One can only hope that it was enough to make him think again before attempting something like that again.

As for vomiting or urinating, unless you're at the point of vomiting anyway (which is possible with overconsumption of alcohol), it could be difficult to induce. And I doubt there is anyone over the age of four who hasn't experienced that "I can't start peeing" sensation even when you know you really have to go.
