Bodhi, it may be a dangerous assumption in your opinion, but the statistics support Little Apple all the way. Anywhere from 70% to 90% of potential victims (depending on the demographic, type of crime, and stats - mine are from the NIJ) who resist an attacker will fare better than those who don't.
This is especially true in cases of rape and sexual assault. Women who fight back with intent are raped
FAR less often than those who submit. Are there exceptions? Sure there are. But resisitance is the safest and most constructive bet.
