Pubs and discos, especially in Delhi, are where all kinds of weirdos lurk. Twice, when I was with friends in a popular disco in south Bombay, we were accosted by men who tried to force themselves upon us. Luckily, we managed to escape each time. Now, I shudder to think what could have happened. Hence, I am writing this short guide for women and how they can defend themselves against even the biggest and most powerful of men. Read on.

When confronted by an assailant/rapist, do not panic. Remember, you can fight him and you can win. Use your mind and keep your wits about you. It’ll help if you are fit and in good physical condition, but even if you are not, you can still take on most people with a little ingenuity. Here are 5 tips which will help you tackle the biggest of opponents:
As you know, a guy’s testicles are his weakest point. Do not hesitate to hit him in the balls right away – show no mercy. Just ram your knee up into his crotch and crush his testes. No man, no matter how big or strong, can withstand that kind of an attack. Once he goes down, run.
If you are not in a position to kick his balls, try grabbing them. Once you have his testicles in your hand, squeeze as hard as you can. He might scream in agony but do not let up. Crush both balls against each other and let go only when he passes out. Then, just to make sure you’ve finished him off properly, punch him in the balls before you run.
The throat is also a delicate point. Hit him in his adam’s apple with the edge of your hand. Make it a fast, hard strike and he will choke for a few minutes, in which you can make your getaway. Remember, rapists don’t deserve any mercy.
If you can get hold of his hand, twist his little finger as hard as you can. Twist his little finger away from the palm(in the opposite direction) and you can break it quite easily. The pain will be so intense that he will not be able to do anything after that. Also give him a kick in the balls just to put a final end to his lust.
Don’t be scared of screaming, shouting and creating a scene. Shout as loudly as you can and ask people for help. Most attackers will run away if even a small crowd gathers around them, so scream your lungs out. Do not, at any cost, become a victim. Fight back!
