Every woman you know has taken a longer route.

69. I don't have your self control.

If I were walking in a busy city in the daylight and there were people around I would give them the finger.

I think that living at Union Sq NYC in 1979 and 1980, when it was full of junkies and not farmers' markets and playgrounds, was a quick lesson in self defense. I wouldn't even take that subway stop and got off at the next closest and walked to Union Sq. Since I am only 5'1" and 100 pounds I have to make the most with what I've got. I still walk very quickly with no facial expressions and my eyes are even narrow. Body language and facial expressions can deter many people right off the bat.
