I know I’m asking a lot, but the price of freedom is high; it always has been. And it’s a price I’m willing to pay. And if I’m the only one, then so be it.
we shouldn’t be needing this, but we do. So please, stay safe, girls!
An Article from Neena Susan Thomas
“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

I guess it will change when I move into England, but we have a little time before that so… headcanons, yeah
And I did a little research on frats and soririties and found a shitload of things that I didn’t want to read so I’m writing about what I read
hope you all enjoy! Thanks for reading”
you have been a member of Delta Gamma for a year
the girls there were so sweet and kind and you had a rep of being one of the most beautiful girls in campus
and while most of your sorority sisters would go partying you would stay in studying to keep your scholarship
one of the best things about Delta Gamma was where it was located bc it was so quiet and chill for study hours
until one day
it all started when Sigma Chi decided to move to another house bc the other one was infested with bugs
and for your luck they moved nextdoor
the head of Delta Gamma, Karey, didn’t seem to like that too bc she knew what they said about their parties and it wasn’t good things at all
but she decided to give them a chance
you on other way never liked the idea of being disturbed
for you they were a bunch of horny and crazy teenagers
your old soul talking
“can’t we make them move away?” “no, Y/N, let’s give them a chance. They can’t be that bad” “don’t think so”
and Karey suggested that you all go to their party one night
you whined but she and other sisters insisted
“c’mon Y/N I don’t even recognize you without a bun and your sweats” “you have a problem with my style now?”
even though you weren’t in the mood at all you decided to go
you put your good ripped jeans and a white lace top and your friend Julia made your makeup
your sisters started to call dibs on guys names that you’ve never heard of and you stayed neutral
when you got there you saw the girls heading to the main room being captured in all of those different lights
you watched the movement around you and saw lots of guys wearing the same Sigma Chi shirts and supposed that they were the house owners
there were lots of grinding and make outs there and you even saw Daysia going upstais with a guy
then you decided that you’ve had enough and headed to the kitchen to make yourself a drink
you were looking for the solo cups and started to get angry when you didn’t find them
“you looking for those?”
you looked behind you to find a guy you’ve never seen before holding a new pack of solo cups
“sorry we ran out of them and I just got more” “oh, thanks” “you’re new here?” “me? No. I’m a sophomore” “then we have never met before. I’m Tom” “Y/N”
you served yourself some beer and took a moment to look at his features
damn was he hot
your eyes wandered on his face for a while, taking in his sharp jaw and cheekbones sculpted by angels
and those eyes
“take a picture, darling, it will last longer”
when you thought that couldn’t get better you heard the british accent and melted
“I’m sorry. I was… ok, I was checking you out” “it’s ok, sweetheat. I am too” “checking yourself out?” “checking you out.”
you looked like a tomato by now
that black shirt that he was wearing was so fitting that you just couldn’t take your eyes off
“let’s get out of here”
you took his hand and followed him
Tom guided you outside the house to the streets in a place you’ve never seen before
it was like a soccer field but smaller and had all those lamp posts that made the place look so better
he sat down and tapped the grass for you to sit on too
you spent all night talking about thoughts, stories, theories and personal stuff
you told him about your passions and he seemed to enjoy all of them
he told you that he was english who are you trying to fool with that accent Holland? and that he was majoring performing arts
after talking for a really long time you saw the sun coming up and just laid on the grass with your head resting lightly on his shoulder and fell asleep with him
CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS? SO FUCKING CUTE KILL ME
the next day you woke up and realized that you had to get back to your house and gave Tom a goodbye cheek kiss
when you got home your sisters were sitting on the sofa while talking and eating and they all turned their heads in your direction
“where were you last night” “she was getting soooome” “fuck yeah (y/n)”
you went straight to your room and kept thinking about your beautiful night with the british boy and fell asleep again
your sister Kara woke you up and told that the girls were having a meeting at the living room
that was weird ‘cause meetings were rare and for important stuff
there were only two meetings before and they were about the problem with the tampons fuck they were tough and the cake thief
you went downstairs and found all ya girls forming a circle around the sofas and Karey in the center
she started talking and the tension in the air was evident
she told you about two of the girls who slept with guys from Sigma Chi and that they filmed them while doing it
and about how they posted it on their social medias
you were shocked and felt bad for them
they didn’t deserve those immature boys
“I suggest that we never get close to them again. It’s for our own good. And if you value our womens rights you should follow this new rule”
of course you agreed
the following morning was ordinary and your last class of the day was just cancelled so you went to the café nearby
you ordered the same and sat down on a table while catching up with the today’s lessons and felt a hand on your shoulder
when you turned around you were blessed by the warmest smile you’ve ever seen
“hey darling, what are you up to?”
you invited him to sit up and talked about random shit and classes
“so you’re studying?” “yeah, I know, boring…” “I think it’s lovely that you care about your grades so much.” “don’t you? I mean, they’re our futures” “are they really? ‘Cause I think I’m just looking at mine”
this boy’s smooooooth af
of course you blushed hard
“are you ok, love?” “why would you ask?” “looks like there’s something bothering you” “oh, it’s something that happened yesterday… shitty thing”
he took your hand and it felt better than that night
it felt right
“shall we?”
and you went with him
he took you to the campus amphitheater and guided you to the stage
it was empty and he just made some reverences like he was saluting the imaginary public
“good evening, my fellows. Today I have the greatest (Y/N) with me and she would love to show you her abilities” “Tom, what are you doing?” “c’mon, it’s called acting. I know you can do it” “it’s silly” “I never said it wasn’t”
so you gave up and stepped forward next to him looking at the imaginary crowd and started dancing awkwardly
“that’s what I’m talking about!” “I look ridiculous” “lemme help you”
he pulled you by the waist taking a breath away from you while his face was getting closer to yours
“hands on my neck, love”
you did as he told you to and your faces were so close that you could feel his hot breath on your lips
and you saw him looking at them from time to time
before you could say anything he closed the space between you by sealing a sweet kiss
and gosh, those warm, soft, made of silk lips
the feeling was like he planted all the roses in the world in your empty yard
then you two broke the kiss for air and just smiled at each other like two adorable dorks
“you look good like this” “huh, thanks, Tom” “… but I think you look better with me”
and it was the start of something new it feels so right to be here with you OOOOHhooh
as the days went by you and Tom only got closer
so did the Sigma Chi and Delta Gamma rivalry
the boys didn’t like the complaint that you girls made to the authorities and started to get back at you
first they started to throw parties in school nights not letting anyone sleep
then they put galons of paint in your pool
and they let out lots of real chickens running on your house halls
after that, Karey declared war
your girls changed all of their underwear for grandmas panties and they had to wear nothing for and entire week
then your sister Sara had the idea of putting laxative in their milk by the night and all of their brotherhood had to stay an entire day absent
of course, you stayed out of it
you didn’t like what they did to your friends but you didn’t want to get involved in those pranks
but the rule was still on. No one gets involved with Sigma Chi guys
one boring evening you were studying and Tom sent you a message telling you to open the window spiderman feelings
you saw him there and a smile appeared on your face
“what are you doing here? How did you even get so high?” “I have my abilities, darling. Just like you and your dancing” “shut up”
that night you and him laughed a lot and tried to stay quiet to not alert the other girls even though most of them went to a party
conversations with Tom were always exciting bc you never ran out of topics
but that day you did
and then the only topic spoken between you two was about tongues
and things became hotter and hotter with every inch you got closer
you woke up when the sun rose and felt your head resting on a surface that weren’t your pillow and you were curious about it
A B S
boy this boy
his arm was around you and he was holding you close to his chest while snoring lightly
you smiled at the sight and he started to wake up slowly too
“hey” “hi” “I think I like you more than I thought so”
then you blushed hard but showed him you felt the same by sealing your lips together like you had almost all night long
“hey (Y/N) do you have some tampons? I ran out of… What is that?”
Kasey opened the door without hesitation and saw you and Tom curled up in your bed
and lemme say that her face wasn’t any good
“what’s he doing here?” “Kasey! Close the door! Jeeez” “(Y/N), what’s our first rule?” “what does it have to do with him?” “ask him yourself. We’ll talk about it later”
you looked at Tom and pushed your covers to your bare chest
“what’s she talking about?” “I don’t know” “Tom, where do you live?”
you saw the smile fade away from his face and felt your breath getting heavier
“I swear I have nothing to do with the things that they do to you girls and…” “are you fucking kidding me? You’re from the fucking Sigma Chi?” “(Y/N)…” “get out of here, Thomas.”
he didn’t even tried to say anything more
he just grabbed his clothes and put his hand on the doorknob but you stopped him
“go by the window. I don’t want the girls seeing you”
and he did
