Lol.
OK, so here's another question: referring to my comment about not wanting to provide my attacker with a weapon- and seeing as we're on the women's forum- do you think women are actually safer carrying a weapon, or not? Is the possibility that they will be out massed and disarmed sufficient to make having a weapon a bad idea? To get a perspective on this for the guys: think of fighting multiple people who are ALL at least 2 weight classes above you.

I say yes, women are safer armed than not.
Is it a bad idea? Not at all. What's the other choice? Should she comply with the felonious intent of her attackers? Lie down and ask them to rape her gently???
I say give her a knife. If she can inflict serious trauma on ONE of them it might be easier to convince the others to take their buddy to the ER.
I'm sure I've said it before but most BAD guys want an easy victim, not a FIGHT. The presence of a weapon can tilt the balance of power in many situations.
Is there a chance she'll be disarmed... Sure. (that's why many cops and folks who are serious about self protection carry a back up weapon)
