What a nice way to make him and the Americans support Ukraine even more...

The US does not owe Ukraine a dime, no one does. I'm sorry but if you are really gullible enough to believe you could take down a super power on its border you deserve whatever you get. pic.twitter.com/GmyB28LGLH

Part of why so many key industries are *so* dependent on immigrants is that our schools have an oddly narrow view of what kids can do with their lives. They aren't told they could, like, buy a gas station.

American public schools subtly imply that all jobs are email or retail.

I have a feeling we are going to have really nice weather and a really fun news cycle. Something big is coming in politics and everybody is going to be out of the house and talking about it and meeting new people and making new friends. It's going to be a lot of fun!

Now I know why I've gotten fat and ugly.

Unfortunately - r*pe is mostly about power. This is why it's wrong and victim blaming when people say "well she shouldn't have worn that skirt" or something similar, because it's not about sexual attraction at all. (Someone please correct me or add more if I'm wrong)

Edit: you already seem to know this, I'm leaving it here in case someone else doesn't know

I mean, it's not really all about power. It can be and is used as a means of 'total domination', torture, humiliation, or as a weapon in ethnic cleansing, but not always. From 1st person accounts and memoirs (from 2nd world war, for example) we know that soldiers would often specifically look for young, attractive women to SA - women who were in internment camps or hiding in basements, for example, recount soldiers walking around at night with a flashlight, illuminating women's faces to choose the one they liked best.

BUT in such situations sexual violence is also so endemic that it happens to women both young and very old, thin and fat, attractive and unattractive. So getting 'fat and ugly' is not a viable strategy, I'm afraid.

If that's not exactly what power is, then I don't know what else it could be.

Look like a dude or young man instead. Have shears to cut off your hair to male lengths. Ace bandage/compression shirt/sports bra to downplay any feminine assets. Male baggy and boxy clothing. No makeup or feminine anything including scents. They say when SHTF does happen you don't have daughters you have sons.

You really dont know much about how men are do you? They don't care about short hair and they will eventually sniff you out, based on your height, hand size, gait, mannerisms and voice especially.

OP asked for ways she could prepare. Yes, when SHTF if someone wants to attack you they will. This can happen to men too. Preparing is just about giving yourself the best fighting chance you have. Also these methods have been successfully utilized by women in history. Sometimes if you're a good enough actor it just might be the difference between life and death.

"it can happen to men too." Ooof. Big freaking oof. This isn't about men though is it? Why are you mentioning this? Fricking bizarre when like 90% of r*pe victims of stranger/danger r*pe are women and girls.

Also these methods have been successfully utilized by women in history.

Name one.

Sometimes if you're a good enough actor it just might be the difference between life and death.

Source please for this real life success of pretending and passing as a boy in a war zone.

In war, SHT and in some schools (big revelations now in France) male are r*ped.

The post isn't about men though, is it? OP is a woman asking about women. It's like saying you need to be afraid of insulin resistance as a non-diabetic to a post asking about what to do with diabetes.

Men r*pe men in different ways and in different scenarios - and stranger r*pe of men is very rare. It's usually among hierarchies, in prisons, and in institutional ways (like schools.) Men also can fight back differently, and they are not predated upon by gangs just for the purpose of r*pe. Just for the purpose of kidnapping for r*pes. The mass r*pe of women is a global phenomena and it seems like you're here just to distract from that.

The most realistic advice I've seen outside of self-defense is to become as masculine as possible - binders for your chest, baggy clothing, shaving your head, using mascara on upper lip hairs - or if you're a hairy girly naturally, let that fluff grow and fast.

You really think that will deter criminal men who come in as invaders from a battlefield? Or radicalized religious extremists who think you should be burned alive for not converting?

The idea is to make it less likely invading soldiers see you from 200 meters away and think, "oh an attractive woman." and decide to walk towards you because of that.

200 meters away? In such a no mans land type of situation they're going to go after you just because they need to identify you anyway, any costume is irrelevant. And not very rational. Better not be seen at all. If you're a man you're a potential combatant, they'll shoot you. They'll have orders to apprehend any person.

Most SHTF situations are occupation-type scenarios. Look at haiti, sudan, somalia, yemen. Rival warlords and gangs, street battles, lynchings, mass human trafficking. House to house shit.

And every situation is different.

You're arguing that any attempt at mitigation is what? Wrong because it might not be successful in some situations?

Or are you just assuming that the other poster (for whatever reason) had 100% confidence that would always work completely and you wanted to insult them over your weird assumption?

Are you appealing to "maybe it works" because what "every situation is different?" Thats like saying maybe you can make a car into a boat and survive a tsunami. Okay.

Okay give me a situation where this works.

I think this may be a communication issue because I can barely understand your comment in response to mine.

I don't mean this in a rude way, but is English not your first language? May be some subtle stuff getting mixed up here.

Also remember that not everyone is able bodied. Some people due to illness or accident can be in a wheelchair, have a prosthetic, so it's impossible for me as of right now to go to a martial arts class in my area because wheelchair jistu isn't a thing. Bear mace and guns are easy to use no matter what position you're in (sitting or standing or in the chair or at home on the couch) so that's what I deferred to.

I know about an evidence-based form of self-defense, backed by research in several countries across the world, but I'm also planning on conducting research on it and am not sure if it's safe to just put it out there for anyone to see (e.g. bad actors, etc.).

Any clues as to how I can inform myself of this evidence based form of self defense?

There's technically two, but they're variations of similar concepts.

One was created by an American national federation of non-binary people and women, for non-binary people and women.

Another came from a Canadian university known for its strong ties to the automotive industry.

Both are backed by randomized controlled trials, so there's little room for correlation instead of causation.

Might be worth finding some poison ivy/poison oak and rubbing it all over your nether regions and thighs. Sure it will be miserable, but looking disgusting and diseased might help dissuade some level of threat on top of everything else. I'd rather be in heck and miserable that way.

Everyone here talking about carrying and training with guns sounds great… but what about folks who suffer from severe depression/ideation and shouldn't keep them around?

This is my case. I prepare for the eventuality rather than avoid it and live my life fearlessly. I do not let the men have my future or life. You can read my reply above. Meeting violence with violence is not the only way. Sometimes a super power is simply to have mind over body, and endure until the men violating you mean as little as taking a shit.

They may have taken my body in the past but with will not take my present or my future and they will not capture my mind any more.

I'm not sure I follow… can you please explain your point in a different way?

Lots of tips here!

I mainly work with men and a few women. Here are my thoughts.

Never go alone anywhere with a man.

Don't flirt or make sexual comments. Like I know we are spouse to be free and safe to do "whatever we want". But I've seen it time and time again. That the ladies who make themselves extremely sexual are the ones who get SA'ed first.

Avoid overly trusting one man. Of course make friends with the men. But avoid a "work husband". My personal favourite is I like to often ask them about their families. Kids, grandchildren, wives, mothers. I feel like gently reminding them of those warm feelings towards women are a good guide on how they will treat you.

I know this might sound like a weird one. Just leave men alone. I've seen too many women try to too hard to befriend a man that just doesn't like them, and it not end well (non sexual). But if someone doesn't like you… just let them be. Hope that makes sense.

My favourite thing to wear is loose footing overalls with a belt. I find I don't even see the guys staring at me. Though I know they don't prevent r*pe at 100%. I feel like trying to undo the shoulder straps and belts is a big deterrent.

Steel toed boots with extreme grip are definitely a bonus. Atleast something you can run in.

I don't know what war you are preparing for. But wartime r*pe is not something you can prepare against. No gun is going to save you from 5 fully-armed and trained soldiers ready to have their way with you.

You can make them kill you while you shoot as many as possible.

Depends on the person, but plenty would much rather die fighting. To each their own.

Playing Tetris soon after a traumatic event has been proven to reduce the severity of PTSD.

https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2017-03-28-tetris-used-prevent-post-traumatic-stress-symptoms

The problem that makes it worse is when women falsely use r*pe as an excuse to better themselves because it rapidly start to discredit women who are actually victims allowing abusers to get away with significantly more abuse. So in a SHTF situation get rid of problematic Karens so that the real problems can be addressed.

So I guess this might be where staying fat would help me? Hard to wrestle to the ground or get dragged off anywhere. Generally unappealing to most men (yes I know r*pe isn't about s*x for the most part, it's control and power…)

In all seriousness, fight like heck, ladies. Take self defense classes. Get a taser or pepper spray or gun. Or find another physical item as a way to defend yourself. Depending on the situation and location, find somewhere to hide and barricade in.

I'm already pretty masculine and often pass as a boy teen. If I feel unsafe I will dress more boyish and pretend to be a teen boy as long as I can, I'm growing my hair out now but if I feel danger I will shave it again. I know self defense and carry a knife I know how to use. I'd rather die than to be SA again so I will fight.

Actually, playing Tetris has been clinically proven to reduce the chances PTSD.

Women and nonbinary who capitulate, as they think it might help them or their families survive, receive little no help post war. Typically, if they live, they are kicked out of their home and countries as sympathizers, even if they work against oppressors and even as they were unable to consent on any level. War s*x slavery, on the whole, is seen as "prisoner light" compared to hard labor. Men who are used as s*x slaves often say they were just pow due to the lack of cultural and systemic support, erasing themselves from history.

The dehumanization that accompanies war, to help soldiers kill, usually means the level of brutality that the marginalized, and women in particular, face is truly obscene, whether or not the woman chooses to fight back.

I think the answer is the answer to all things. Understand that when the time comes the flight or fight response will kick in, regardless of any  cold logic done in advance. Training will kick in next. Form a community, hope that community survives to support you if you survive.

I mentioned in another sub that I believe there will be another military draft soon & both men & women will be drafted. I know the current SECDEF really hates women & doesn't want them in HIS military, but I can see drafting them and making them work as "Comfort Women" like in other times of war.

The Peace Corps used to teach everyone to wear a belt at all times. It's the equivalent of putting bars on your windows—won't stop everyone, but it adds a layer of friction to slow/dissuade/redirect.

Can confirm that a belt did actually help me in at least one situation. I think in fact that this was a repressed memory until just now. Thanks. This is real advice!

I would think a leotard would cause a bit of delay as well

My tubes are tied, I have a heavy gate, a dog, bear mace, a boyfriend who's armed. I am working on getting my gun rights back.

I've thought about this a lot. I need to enroll in self defense classes ASAP.

Not for you specifically, but for men in your lives

Trigger warning

and in this is a nearly impossible situation to discuss rationally because of all the ego involved in all parties.. but if you are relying on your man, (in combination with yourself etc.) but in general he thinks he will protect you, and he is unable to do so, (either do to failure or impossible circumstances) and you are both left alive — there is a HUGE mess to contend with while staying with him. I had this happen to me personally, but there's a good episode in Reign where the prince was literally absent to protect his princess and still all the emotions were there. Now amplify that by being in the room - either overpowered or forced to participate - and see if he'd still be a man to comfort you afterwards. A lot of men absolutely cannot handle this scenario. And a lot of women are left to shoulder the blame they can't accept, or even in the best cases - can't be looked at the same again.

I'm 67 & invisible to men for the most part, but I did strongly consider getting a firearm after the country elected to be ruled by a male feminist & predator. Since I have a medical weed card, I can't own or purchase a firearm in Utah. I won't give up my card so no pew pew for me 😞 I rarely leave my home so I guess that's my main strategy to continue avoiding the freaks of the world as much as possible

I didn't renew my medical card last year so that I could get a LTC. I had hoped to visit Utah someday, but it seems as if the entire future I've been planning on and working towards has been stolen. I now expect to die young, but at least I won't die a traitor to my own country. Be safe put there ladies.

Find good places to hide. You will encounter gangs.

If you have young kids or people that can't keep quiet, learn how to safely make them fall asleep.

Have booby trapped supplies. Food that is easy to find with "special ingredients".

This thread misses one of the worst parts - in many wars the r*pe is done with a knife, a gun, a broom handle, in front of your family, or on top of your dead family.

You need to prepare for the psychological fall out. You might have to let your body be destroyed to save your children. It is that bad and terrifying. Owning a gun will not save you from groups of men.

This comment needs to be higher

I'm getting a bisalp. But also, keep in mind that the US has the most heavily armed civilian population the world has ever seen, in any era.

I have my complaints about America, but fierce individualsm is part of who we are. I don't think Americans will comply with true fascism, though it may take civil war.

Get educated, get ammo, and get fricking armed. Learn safety, and get your concealed carry permit. Once you go far enough left, firearms come back into the picture.

I'm not from the US. I'm sorry, but can we please stop with the US defaultism on this sub, it's rampant

My apologies, I thought your concerns were a direct reference to the imment rise of fascism in the United States.

!animalposters !cats

ok so id invite the OP here but he deleted :(

This guy's gotten well known online for calling people gay r-slurs and now has redditors shaking in their boots over more of his shitposting and wingcuckery.

A bunch of "freedom loving patriots" are going to be completely ok being "ruled" ironic

You underestimate what this means... they're going to start lynching brown, black, and gay people again (and I guess just party affiliation too).

And constructing a community and judicial system takeover that allows it.

Pretty much the resurgence of sundown towns...

So you're saying "Democrats" = "brown, black, and gay people"?

I also don't see any reference to "Lynching" in here, or anywhere else for that matter... Hmmm

They didn't say democrats=brown black and gay people and they didn't say that this post specifically mentioned lynching.

They said removing any political opposition from the county will allow them to do things like lynching without opposition if they so choose.

Work on your reading comprehension before you attempt a "gotcha" like that, it's embarrassing.

Hmmm, ..the comment literally said "You underestimate what this means... they're going to start lynching brown, black, and gay people again".

Maybe you should also work on your reading comprehension.

Yes, their comment mentions lynching, but they never said the post does.

I teach adult literacy classes in my spare time, my reading comprehension is just fine.

As an armed Democrat, I say Come and Take It, MF'ers.

You're slightly outnumbered bud

Then go try it tough guy

lol I'm not a violent person just saying that sounds like a bad idea

I mean you're hinting at violence. You think it's a bad idea for this guy to defend himself?

That wasn't my intention I was referring to the number of armed local republicans. I'm not a gun owner and politically apathetic

I'm still not even sure what you're trying to say.

If you can't understand that sentence, go to college

No haha quit being a coward and beating around the bush college man.

The dims are a capitalist party. They have served their purpose. Does anyone seriously think that they're going to take away money and power from billionaires? Don't make me laugh.

What is wrong with you? Focus on what is ACTUALLY HAPPENING

I have been, for almost 50 years. Do you think the dims are unworthy of criticism? I don't.

Like the republicans aren't? You're part of the problem! We have to focus on the future! No more blaming, we have to work together.

I haven't voted for GOPedo republiladygardens since 1984. I was a union activist and officer here in Texas for 14 years. I've done gotv for decades. And I've watched the dims squander it all by running ever farther to the right. They're a corporate capitalist party. Why is that so hard to understand?

Then it sounds like neither party are worth a darn and shouldn't be in charge.

We can now see, from our current predicament, that Bernie Sanders was our last hope. The dims are gop-lite, nothing more. They joined the republiladygardens in repudiating the New Deal under Clinton. Then Obama gave the banksters trillions while millions of US citizens and taxpayers lost their homes and jobs. The result is fat shitler twice.

Jesus Christ, have you SEEN what sole republicans rule can do to a place?

Right?! Louisiana, Kentucky, etc. are the lowest ranked everything from education to infrastructure AND some of the biggest welfare states. They're such clowns.

Have you seen who lives in Kentucky and Louisiana???

[jannied]

That was the first thing that came to your mind?

This is the guy who got caught giving a bj in the steam room of his golf club, and is a single guy living alone after his wife left him who tweets in the morning and night about the threat of LGBTQ people, right?

How would you know that? None of the news outlets would report that unless it became the subject for a case in a civil court. If you have picked up some gossip why would you post it? I understand calling out hypocrisy but it is just tittle tattle unless you have proof. It would be libel if a newspaper printed it without proof.

This dude is such a POS

He regularly uses the R word in his social media posts. I can't believe he is the head of anything.

I saw that! It's his favorite word! Like 3rd grader.

Are they gonna paint David stars on all Democrat businesses and make every Democrat wear it, and then send them all to a ghetto with barb wire?

Where is he located? I live in Ft worth and I'd like to talk to him

Only white people can fix this. It's not meant to disrespect anyone but marching and protesting doesn't work. Neither does voting. It's those in power (or who have the majority power-white people) who will be pressured by their white republican and democrat counterparts that will have to fix this state America is in. Not just Fort Worth. Things only truly get fixed when white people step up. It's a country thst was made for white people and is ran by them. Latinx Asians and blacks can't fix it. Marching and voting only does so much when it's not white people doing it.

It's like the missing white woman syndrome. The big search parties only get sent out for missing white women/girls and then an answer is usually found— either she's found dead or alive or the suspect is found and convicted. Only white people go looking for the missing white Female. This is much like those situations. The issue is only pressed when more white people are affected and they hold those in power accountable. For a long time the government helped poor whites feel better by way of Jim Crow— poor whites and blacks were getting along until then because the rich saw they would be outnumbered but if they could race bait the poor whites into feeling better about themselves as not being black, then it wouldn't matter theyre still poor. Now there's more white people falling into poverty and their rights along with finances are at stake. They will have to fix it. People are waiting for blacks and Latinx to protest and riot but they aren't because this is understood in the black and Latinx community

One way to interpret this is he's having a spiritual battle with Trump and he needs us there to act as pylons for his long distance assault on the president's mind

That's how I first read this before I realized who the picture was! Felt a lot like "I'm about to do a spiritual battle with this guy, you better start praying for him!"

It's not a "spiritual" battle when there's an ACTUAL battlefront in Ukraine and another in Gaza.

Correction geno in Gaza

Dear God,

Please be with President Trump and give him the discernment to better our country and not destroy democracy.

Also, please be with those politicians that give secret blowjobs in country clubs. May they come to terms with their sexuality and give them peace.

Amen.

Bruh, are you "a radical left lunatic?" lol

… it's a joke?

I know. I was making fun of how they discuss anyone who is "against" them.

He'd be calling him "a commie tard" like he does people on X. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Spiritual battle Bo? Like when you slept around on your wife and she divorced you because of it?

Oh, you mean when he got caught blowing a dude in the rivercrest bathroom?

I'd take a blowie from him, idk glutton for punishment lol. 🤮

Idk why but the moment dramanauts find out someone is Indian they start fantasizing about Indian r*pes and Indians taking a shit. It is a very weird fetish that dramanauts have and is even weirder than some of the stuff the average German appears to be into.

My Indians brothers, do you have any theory for why these dramanauts are so obsessively fantasizing about our shits? Because I have no sane explanation for it.

@H why are you so obsessed with Indians taking a shit or Indians raping your women? Would this fantasy of yours be considered a mental illness in your country or just having a normal kink?

So how this is going to go, is I will be writing a short description after each percentage of people who thought the dissolution of Yugoslavia was a mistake in each Balkan Nation, ordered from highest to lowest. Yugoslavia is a very controversial topic as it does encompass the topic of Serbia, and rising tensions within Europe

1: Serbia, 81% (Big Shocker)

Being the Head State of Yugoslavia, it's pretty obvious most Serbs Reminisce of the days of the Yugoslavian Nation, Serbs nowadays are filled with heavy nationalism (like most Balkans) and aren't in a very good position economically or warfare wise, so going back to that highly powerful Balkan State is what Serbs normally wish for, and also trade routes Establishing connections with Austria and having an actual sea route from Croatia and Slovenia would be great for the Serbian Economy,

2: Bosnia & Herzegovina, 77%,

Bosnia & Herzegovina is often a misunderstood and overlooked nation in today's society, to their east, an angry patriotic conservative war machine, and to their west an unsolved border dispute with Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina is in a tight position, with both a problem of language as it is Serbian just in the Latin Alphabet. and a Problem of Land, it has Zero Sea Routes just like Serbia because Croatia is the only Balkan country to have a long shoreline, Slovenia has a small one which is semi useful, but I digress, unlike Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina has ties to the EU Economically, Bosnia & Herzegovina is the 2nd most likely successor in my opinion to the reform of the Yugoslavian Monarchy, I am saying this as a later on entry will be explained to greater detail,

3: all of the three minor Yugoslavian ex members, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Slovenia respectively 65%, 61%, and 45%

I am grouping these nations together as these are the least likely to actually reform Yugoslavia and all follow the same jist, see these are very Ethnically Questionable small Nations, North Macedonia is Argued to be Greek or Bulgarian, Montenegro is argued to be Albanian, and Slovenia argued to be Croatian or Italian, all of these countries don't really make sense to be "An Independant Nation" as all are One: Small in Landmass 2: Horrible In Economy even worse than Serbia (except for Slovenia) 3: Ethnically these people are a strange ethnic group, Like Belgians and Swiss they don't really have an ethnic Identity, Belgium and Switzerland at least have good enough trade, The only reason these countries would want Yugoslavia to reform is for a higher level of protection and ethnic identity.

4: Croatia, 23% (The Turning Point)

Croatia is a rather interesting nation; they are arguably the most powerful Balkan in the Yugoslavian Peninsula for General Statistics, they have the best GDP in terms of the area, Good Trade Connections, Good Allies as they are in the EU unlike Bosnia & Herzegovina which has simple trade connections, and a strong population, this country, is EASILY the most likely to reform Yugoslavia if they ever choose so, with an insane amount of upsides, if military fanaticism were to rise within Croatia, The Balkan Peninsula could be quickly and swiftly dominated, ignoring only North Macedonia and Montenegro on the way as they are NATO Members, what is the problem with this is Croatia really does not care, they like the current state of peace so they do nothing, but sit back tightly on their sea shore as the average Bosnian yells "HEJ, JEBENA KUČKO! VRATI MI MOJU PLAŽU!" at them

5: Kosovo, 10% (Big Shocker pt2)

See, Kosovo is a nation derived from a steep history of Yugoslavia, being Owned... and Owned... and Owned... until they just said frick it and left, Kosovo is the TRUEST example of an independent Nation, they don't want to expand, they just want to sit down tight in their spot, no conflicts involved, most of the people of Kosovo HATE war. and that is why none of them like the idea of Yugoslavia.

The problem of these countries is that they do not analyze the consequences of their own moves. Weak intellectual potential in these countries, unfortunately”

You have to wonder what this is supposed to achieve. Like whatever concessions they'll get in talks, w/e that's separate. But just from a PR pov doing this interview doesn't help them on those talks at all but it does absolutely poison any concessions made in the public opinion.

I've sunk a ton of time into the Total War franchise but they're never as good as I want them to be. It's hard to pick a favorite because every game has caveats and major downgrades from its predecessor. The battles have strongly trended towards a simplified arcade style and the campaign map is a grab-bag of random features they'll never use again (Troy's resource system is great).

What's your favorite Total War?

Pic is mine, my fifth rate got a broadside into the stern of a pirate galleon. I ended up winning that battle and capturing every ship less the one that exploded.

Did you play naval battles?

Conservatives on the Supreme Court made this ruling. They didn't have to, but they did. This has full support from conservatives in power.

Oh wait are redditors perhaps falling for ragebait?

if you'd bother to read the entire article, you'd know this ruling doesn't really change anything. San Fran was already permitted to dump sewage into the pacific. They were challenging the vagueness of the permit. They want the EPA to tell them exactly how much they are allowed, not an arbitrary "not too much"

No it couldn't be, I definitely understand this lawsuit in it's entirety after reading a Guardian article. The executive should have "broad regulatory power" to do what I want, but not to do things I don't want.

Okay, maybe someone can enlighten me on this:

"The Republican super majority court ruled on Tuesday that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cannot employ generic, water body-focused pollution discharge limits to Clean Water Act permit holders, and must provide specific limitations to pollution permittees."

This doesn't sound like a bad thing

"The permit's conditions include prohibitions on discharges that contribute to a violation of applicable water quality standards. The permit included generic prohibitions on the impacts to water quality, as part of the EPA's efforts to halt San Francisco's releases of raw sewage into the Pacific Ocean during rainstorms."

It sounds like the issue not about the clean water act per se, it seems more like they want specific limitations which doesn't sound unreasonable, but it depends on what they want to set that limitation to.

Nah it is a bad thing. This is the Conservative justices striking down more Broad regulatory power that the EPA had. It's so they can litigate the minutia of everything ( them striking down Chevron Doctrine) and chip away at the clean water act. So yes the extreme activists on the Supreme Court got a win for their pro business billionaire buddies.

That's about all I can stomach formatting on my phone
