Wow I missed out on a lot!

I finally finished the 6 month process of becoming a county police officer! WEEEHHH! - The lie detector test and the interview with the chief of police were the hardest. Oh.. and by the way all the tests physical and mental were the same for men and women.

I do not have a computer at home and have to use a computer where I teach at Agnes Scott - so that is why I have not chated/debated for awhile.

Shelia has some very good points. I think that Women's Self Defense is all about the women's experience and should be based on women's stories - self defense success stories and women's experiences in life. It is nice to have another women's voice online. I think the more women online, the more the men will see that many/most of us do have a simular out look on violence against us by men. We live in a different fear everyday than men do.

Lightning&Earth - I am sorry that your mother abused you. It sounds like you have learned a lot from the experience and have taken away some things that we can all learn from. Although, I do not agree with some of what you are saying. It would be nice if you could share some of what you have learned from your life experinces that I could teach children and young adults. I believe you can learn the most from listening to survivors stories and how they survived.
