At my age, I have to use other tools for self-defense. There's already a 95+ page thread on THAT subject.

I did so see the picture before you deleted it, and I thought the dragon tattoo-sleeve on her right shoulder and upper arm was very professionally done.

No?
“And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.” (Judges 21:21)
“And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.” (Judges 21:23)
The women of today (including the Christian ones by and large) are so far removed from women like Ruth and Esther… by light years!

“But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.” (Deuteronomy 22:25-27)
Notice that the scripture is not expecting the damsel to counter attack the man. Just cry for help.

If you are saying that it's unscriptural of a woman to resist being assaulted in this way, then I don't agree with you at all. Not in the slightest.

“And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee…” (Matthew 5:41-42)
@Michiah-Imla Years ago my good mother was attacked by young thieves. She managed to resist them, although injured.
I hope you are not saying that in such circumstances in the face of violent young men my good mother was supposed to have invited even more injury from them.

Tamar resisted her brother Amnon:
“Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.” (2 Samuel 13:14)

I am sorry to hear that.
But if she would have just surrendered her belongings, like Christ taught, would she have been injured?
I think it's disgusting advice to give to a woman that she should just let a violent pervert do his worst to her.
This is why I drew the OP's attention to this:

Of course it didn't. It's what men like. They think nothing of it, bc women are objects (to most men).

Do you not have faith that a Godly woman would be protected by God from situations like these?
If you’re going to live by the sword of “self defense” than you better hope the attacker isn’t stronger than you.
I’d rather trust in God who is stronger than all.
The point of the picture was martial arts. But it's deleted and we can move on in any case.
Good. Maybe you me could think first before posting videos and photos of women that portray them in ways that aren't how God sees women. If you (or any other professing Christian) wants to see cleavage it should be your own wife's cleavage.
Moving on....

No, I did not ....probably because I have about a third of the men on this site on ignore.
Okay well someone seems to be advising women just to let violent perverts do their worst to them, without resisting. And by God's grace I am repeatedly rejecting that very unsound advice.
