Linscomb A recent survey I heard quoted on the radio one morning this week (I honestly can not remember the source but if I do I will post it) found that women who ahd fought of an attacker or rapeist suffered far worse emotional problems than the women who had been raped etc. I find this hard to believe but I woould be interested in hearing from the net about it. Anything I get I will summarize back to the net.

It's very difficult for me to believe this particular survey (women who fight off attackers/rapists suffer more emotional damage than those who are attacked or raped). I have personally fought off and/or bluffed off a few attackers myself, and have felt immense relief afterwards. I hope that surveys like these don't stop women from fighting those who mean them harm. Mikki Barry
