Text (would be legible on actual shirt):

1. You have no problem with the gender wage gap. But you hate having to pay for dates.

2. You insist that it’s a scientifically proven fact that men are stronger than women. But you complain about society believing that it’s worse for a man to hit a woman than for a woman to hit a man.

3. You believe that the age of consent is unfair and that there’s nothing wrong with having sex with teenage girls. But when you find out that a teenage girl enjoys sex, you believe she’s the biggest slut in the world.

4. You hate when a woman automatically assumes that a man is a douchebag before getting to know him. But when you like a woman who likes another man, you assume he’s a douchebag just because he’s not you.

5. You believe that if women want equality, they should be drafted into the military. But you also believe that the military is not a place for women.

6. You hate when women assume that men are like wild animals. But you believe that a woman who doesn’t cover up and make herself invisible to men is just like someone wearing a meat suit around wild animals.

7. You hate the fact that men are bullied for not conforming to their male gender roles. But when you find out that a man disagrees with your beliefs about women’s rights, your immediate response is to try to emasculate him by comparing him to a woman as an insult.

8. You hate when women assume that there are no nice guys. But you call yourself a nice guy and act like it’s a rare quality that should cause women to be all over you.

9. You hate when women assume that men just want to get laid. But when you find out that a man is a feminist, you assume that he’s just doing it to get laid.

10. You hate when women make generalizations about all men. But when a woman calls you out for being sexist, you claim that all men think like you.

11. You insist that women should be responsible for protecting themselves from being raped. But when they follow the one piece of advice that actually works, which is being aware of red flags, you complain about them assuming that all men are rapists.

(slow clap)

Slllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam dunk!

OH SNAP.

You say that you fear women being able to make a false rape or harassment accusation, yet you continue to “jokingly” threaten to rape them, and then complain that rape isn’t taken seriously enough, but only when men are the victim.

Please read it all you never know when it might save your life… not just for ladies…

• Use the hand you write with.

• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.

• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when they duck their head or break your hand on their jaw. If you want to get away quickly, or end a fight, aim for the chest, or the ribs. If you really want to do some damage, e.g., you’re being attacked, aim for the throat, which will make it hard for your attacker to breathe for a hot minute.

• When you punch, you want to aim and hit with your first two knuckles. Not the flats of your fingers, and not your ring or pinky knuckles, which can break more easily. You can use your weight, if you’re on your feet, to add wallop, and spring into a punch with your feet and torso.

Useful information, esp. if you haven’t taken self defense.

I reblogged this once before to add this and I’ll do it again…

keep your wrist straight.

You can also risk breaking your wrist if you allow it to bend.  I actually can’t believe this isn’t in there.

Other good pointers:

• if your attacker is male, go for his junk - especially if he’s wearing loose pants. There’s no sportsmanship when it comes to assault so fuck them balls UP
• punching pretty much ANYWHERE in the face is going to actually hurt you a LOT (just think - you’re punching your bones into their bones and ow). If you’re going for the face, my suggestion is to strick upwards with your palm.

see that meaty portion highlighted in red? There’s a lot of muscle and fat right there which makes it excellent for striking. Hold your hand as shown and aim for the nose or chin (though I’ve been told in extreme circumstances, doing this to the nose can be fatal but I’ve never really heard if this is true or not) and just aim upwards

• other delicate areas: 
• the shin (hurts like a bitch if you kick it right - also, you can hit this spot if you’re being held in a choke-hold and if your attacker has to move in order to stop you from kicking him, he’ll have to angle his body so as to expose his stomach and crotch to the wild spastic jabbings of your elbows)

• the solar plexus (either jab while holding your hand in a sort of spear position or use your elbows - unless you’re super strong, your punch probably won’t wind your attacker. Your elbow or a spear hand will, however)

Originally in (most) martial arts, you hit the solar plexus because it supposedly contained an important chakra. Now we know that it actually also contains like a bunch of necessary organs that are exposed just below your ribs and is also (roughly) where your diaphragm lives so getting punched there is not pleasant.

• the clavicle (from experience, getting hit in your clavicle HURTS LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER. If you strike downwards with your knuckles, the person might just cry. Like I did.)

• the ear (this is probably the best place to punch besides the throat. It’s all cartilage so it probably won’t hurt you all that much and most people will be like “DUDE YOU PUNCHED ME IN THE EAR WHAT THE HELL”)
• the kidneys (this is harder to hit without training but if you somehow get your attacker’s back to face you, try to hit’em in the kidneys. Again, from experience, this FUCKING HURTS. You can’t really hit the kidneys from the front with any effect but from the back it is super painful)

• if you’re held in a choke-hold, try turning your head so the forearm isn’t pressed into your throat. If you can position yourself right, you can sort of force your chin into the crook of the elbow, making you able to still receive (limited) oxygen and provide time for you to kick some shins or elbow some spleens and shit

-Also, remember that a guy’s junk is not an off-button. Don’t think that you can rely on a swift kick to the balls to immediately incapacitate him in an emergency. Adrenaline and anger can keep somebody going for a long time even through extreme pain, and if you expect to end a fight with a single groin-attack you might be caught off-guard when he doesn’t drop. Certainly go for it if you get the chance, but keep hitting him until the fight is over.

-Draw blood if you can, especially if you can draw it from the face or the eyes. Blood in the eyes is not just a good way to impair your attacker’s vision, it’s also a really good way to freak them out and let them know that they might be getting more than they bargained for by picking a fight with you.

-Elbows and knees are really powerful weapons. Elbows are very sharp and very strong and if you are in close-range they are often more effective than trying to throw a punch. 

-Yelling and shouting makes you scary. 

Self-defense in driving school taught us that it’s not honestly a good idea to go for the balls. It makes them even more angry and gives them more motivation to hurt you worse.

We’d also learned that its a good idea to go for the eyes if you can. Dudes are scared as shit to lose their vision so, pepperspray if available. If not, using your thumbs to try and gouge their eyes.

Welcome to tumblr, where we teach you how to fight and defend yourself.

In which tumblr teaches you better than highschool.

Everyone should read this

some other things:

• to hit someone, avoid punching them (^ there are a bunch of tips for punching, but i was taught to just not do it); bend your fingers down (like in the first picture up there) and hit from the side with the meaty part of your hand.
• (this was already mentioned) do that thing with your hand and go for the nose, in an upward motion. this can kill them. or just break their nose or hurt a lot, depending on how hard you hit.
• stomp their feet at the base of their foot, especially if you are wearing heels. broken feet generally slow people down.
• if you are wearing heels get them off as fast as you can so you can run faster and also use them as a weapon.
• if you don’t have heels to hit them with, you can improvise if you get an opportunity to grab something. maybe you’re carrying car keys or a text book.
• hit their ear from with the meaty part of your hand as hard as you can; swing your arm back and hit them from the side.
• the insides of the elbows are weak spots, if someone grabs you around the neck from the front with two arms, grab your elbows and bring your arms down on their inner elbows as hard as you can to break their grip or loosen it enough to breathe while you try again.
• if someone wraps their arm around your neck from the back, grab it with both hands, roll it down as much as you can, and bring your chin down on it. (i would be worried about hurting my jaw, but i was taught that this works)
• if you’re on the ground, don’t roll onto your back. sorta use your hands and feet to scoot on your butt and get out of their reach and get up as fast as you can.
• my mom always told me to get your car keys out as soon as you get to the parking lot, park as close as you can, and park under streetlights.
• i dont know if this is really self defense but if you’re worried about someone stealing your stuff, put it in a cup with a lid and carry it around that way. no one wants to steal your garbage.
• if you are stuck into the trunk of a car, knock out the tail lights and stick your arm out.
• if they tell you to give them your purse or wallet throw it as far away from you as possible and run.
• go ham on them, if it’s necessary to bite of a chunk of their arm or poke out their eyes or something do it. your life is more important than your squeamishness or dignity.
• your life is also more important than your purse, wallet, and unfortunately even your virginity.
• scream at the top of your lungs. no dignity in self defense. you can holler “help”, but an ear-splitting screech will definitely get someone’s attention and probably freak out your attacker. dont underestimate a female battle cry.
• show them that you are not an easy victim. rapists and thieves are looking for easy victims and will likely let you go when they realize you can handle yourself.
• don’t LOOK like an easy victim. use your common sense and the buddy system.
• THIS IS IMPORTANT AND I DONT KNOW WHY NO ONE HAS SAID THIS YET: DO NOT DO MORE THAN YOU NEED TO. incapacitate them, and once you can keep them on the ground, stop and call the police. if you have them down but you keep beating on them, YOU are the one getting arrested. 
• i mean make sure theyre down just dont overdo it
