That’s all the news for today guys, so until next time, thanks for stopping by.
Listed below are some reasons why to acquire self defense weapons.
Women are most often the victim of violent crime. Eighty five to ninety percent of the time, these victims knew their attackers. Human Resource Departments handle sexual harassment complaints 78% time within the workplace. The age group and gender most likely to be targeted are middle age women. When it comes to disparity among the genders, it is obvious who draws the “short straw.”
Let’s take Domestic Violence:
* Women who are convicted of murdering their domestic partner are sentenced to 15 year prison terms.
* Men, on the other hand, receive sentences of only 2-6 year sentences.
Priorities:
Many of us love our pets very much, including us, but did you know that in 1990, there were 3,800 animal shelters in the United States in comparison to only 1,550 Battered Women Shelters.
Tracking and Documentation:
All too often Domestic Violence is not adequately tracked or documented by many victimization survey groups. Therefore, the statistics do not provide a comprehensive analysis of the people involved. Two other questions that are not sufficiently addressed are why and how people came to be selected as targets by their assailants.
There are three factors that need to be in place if an accurate and totally encompassing accounting is to express the depth of the maladjusted criminal’s behavior is to be documented.
Unfortunately, a later factor starts to germinate and grow within the victim who has suffered a traumatic episode. One or even repeat occurrences of violence can bring on a mental disorder called Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder:
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), is an anxiety disorder that is likely to develop and grow due to exposure to a terrifying events involving momentous physical harm, experience whether implied and/or lived events.
Personal Experience:
I know what it is to exist, in an environment so void of compassion, mutual respect, or ordinary acts of human decency. Human kindness was considered weakness, a character flaw. Therefore, it was no-existent. Night time hours were spent in absolute terror. I spent many a nights in a “state of paralysis” from the chin down, unable to move any limb, I could not even twitch. I could not break the hold of “feeling paralyzed” and wishing only to become invisible.
Being subjected to extreme, day to day physical, emotional, and psychological abuse resulted in the suicide of my brother and the destruction of one sister’s over-all health and the necessity for a second sibling to have to take prescribed anti-depressants for the rest of her life, just to keep the night-mares away and the feelings of unworthiness.
Battered Woman Syndrome culminates in repeat “cyclical” episodes of severe abuse that is perpetrated against the victim by the out-of-control assailant. Battered Woman Syndrome is not declared until recurring attacks upon the victim are documented. That in itself is a travesty. One severe beating isn’t enough to even be labeled a syndrome.
Generational Passing:
Another atrocity of this type of “sick-maladjusted” behavior is that a pattern of abuse is now passed from one generation to another. Spousal abuse is followed down the “generational trail” to child abuse to elder abuse.
In conclusion:
Women need to be pro-active in securing self defense weapons for their own protection. There are many brands of pepper sprays, stun guns, personal safety alarms, and Tasers from which to choose. Ladies, you are nobody’s punching bag. Take control of your own destiny by leveling the “playing-ground,” legally.
