Frankly, you brought the subject up to shoot any man that gets "too close" and if he is innocent, well that's too bad. Supposedly, we live in a nation of laws.
Once in a while, the guy will move in on you and you'll yell, "Back off; last chance!" and if he keeps coming, you'll shoot him. (Which will feel terrible. I'm not a cowboy.) If he turns out to be a known rapist, you saved yourself and made the evening news and rapists everywhere will sit up and take notice. (Bitches are getting REALLY nuts!) If he turns out to be innocent, well, too bad of course. But for fuck's sake, sisters - how many women are killed by men, have been killed by men, will continue to be killed by men? How about we accept that no prince is going to save us, but we can save ourselves?
At a time when we, as a society, are looking at our police departments with criticism, you seem to advocate shooting someone for not obeying verbal commands? What if the person is deaf? Or stupid? Or just listening to their earphones?
I was a feminist back in the 1980's in a small town in central Illinois and found that by wearing a mohawk most people will cross the street just to avoid rubbing shoulders! There are other ways to show men that you are aware and will not be an easy target!
