off a potential rape situation.
In Lane County 62 per cent
(1974) of all rapes involved a
physical or verbal threat, 31 per
cent used a knife or heavy object
and 7 per cent were at gunpoint
The degree of threat or weapons
used determines a victim's possi
ble defensive measures.
No one tactic can guarantee
safety, since physical defense is
difficult if the attacker has a
weapon, and screaming may
prompt him to use it. A victim
needs to assess the situation and
react accordingly.
To use physical self-defense a
woman must be confident of her
strength. Her tactics must be pre
cise and delivered to vital points
on the assailants body: eyes,
nose, ears, throat, stomach,
shins, and arches The groin area
is not included, for if the victim
misses or does not strike hard
enough the assailant only be
comes enraged and more violent.
If a woman is too small to em
ploy self-defense or is not familiar
with strongarm techniques, non
violent resistance is her alterna
tive. The main objective is to either
distract the attacker to permit es
cape or attempt to talk him out of
his intentions.
Some women try the maternal
approach and give the rapist sym
pathy while others say they have
VD or are pregnant Building his
confidence by saying you could
get any girl you wanted" is another
possible ploy These tactics may
provide a deterrent effect and op
portunity to escape
Another technique involves
making yourself as unattractive as
possible or faking an emergency
situation.
In one case a threatened
woman simulated stomach
cramps and went into convul
sions. Repulsed by the scene, one
of her two assailants fled. The re
maining man, out of concern, car
ried the woman to a place where
she could lay down He
apologized for his actions and
cried in her arms.

best thing to do is to pretend to
faint, go into convulsions, throw
up, urinate or anything that will
make you repulsive to the rapist.
Certain weapons are legal to
carry. They are safe only if you
use them accurately and avoid
having them used against you
Noise weapons are effective if
readily available. Loud whistles or
air horns can scare an attacker
away and summon help.
Such makeshift weapons as
fingernail files, hat pins, pens,
pencils, hairspray, deodorant,
spray perfume, hard-bound
books, or similar sharp, abrasive,
or heavy objects can be used
against an attacker. Tear-gas and
mace in convenient forms can be
legally purchased, along with
plastic squeeze lemons filled with
ammonia are effective when
aimed at the rapist's eyes. But the
key to using any weapon is acces
sibility.
Some weapons are illegal.
These include switch blades,
knives with blades more than 3V2
inches in length, tear gas in car
tridge form and concealed guns
unless issued by permit.
