I’m a flower child and for over five generations we have passed down a large hatpin that we use for protection

You can wear it in your hair And when you’re feeling unsafe, just pull it out and nonchalantly slip it into the side of your clothing at high-level

And if anybody pulls you in, let your arms drop act defense

And while they’re busy, you pull out your hatpin and you go for the belly not the belt you do not want your hat been stuck in a zipper

You go for the pin cushion you stick your hat pin in the pink cushion which is the belly.. You do it quickly three times and then there they’ll be bent over and then you can knee them in the face and get away

That's good thinking, and interesting it's been passed down. Quite an heirloom.

I actually walk with a golf umbrella now because it can immediately be popped open and it has a really sharp point and I’ve used it against a man in the woods and it actually worked

I stabbed him in the stomach two times and he fell over and it gave me time to get to the car and leave

Before I ran away though, I did ask him if he wanted me to call and get an ambulance for him and he said no and I said are you sure and he said yes
