Self Defense

Women who resist are more likely to avoid rape, thus avoiding the many physical and psychological issues. Injuries stemming from resistance are rare and tend to be minor—research found that women tended to fight back when they were being injured rather than being injured because they fought back. Women who resist are more likely to get a conviction in court for rape or attempted rape. Women who resist are more likely to have faster psychological recovery, whether or not they are raped.
