If only MORE men get that. Two days ago when I was in El Segundo, I overheard a group of people at a cafe discussing the area. There was a sharp scream outside and one of the women jumped up, pepper spray in her hand. The guys at her table laughed for her reacting that way, but she snarled at them their reaction (dismissive laughter) was how rapes happen in El Segundo. Her girl friend agreed and held up her taser, and they both left the cafe to find out what was happening.
I was kinda ashamed that a) I was trying to ignore the scream, thinking it was just a bunch of kids, b) I didn't have a weapon with me to protect myself, c) I thought El Segundo was a safe as houses.

Luckily it was just a bunch of kids playing around, but it was definitely a wakeup call. Those women really knew the score.
