The University of Colorado tells women to use bodily fluids to hold off rapists

Of course not, and that was my point; if they had a real form of protection and not "maybe if you try to gross him out he will leave", they wouldn't be in the situation to begin with. That's why the article is retarded, it offers no real form of fixing the problem before it starts.

But that point doesn't make sense in terms of context of this article. Not everyone has access to that, or feels it necessary to obtain such protection until it actually happens, legal or not, this would be the case. To be in a world where we have to carry hidden blades like assassin creed multiplayer to make sure bad things don't happen to us, is not only a gross exageration of your paranoia, but completely unnecessary. Yes bad things happen in life, but guns don't offer protection but fear of retiliation which in my opinion, leads to even more paranoia and thinner ice.

Again all irrelevant because mace and tazers would be the first reaction, and people would probably choose over guns anyway as they don't want a death on their conscious. Sometimes, for whatever reason, circumstance, malfunction, human error, they aren't gurranteed protection, writing an article telling all women that the public is full of rapists ready to pounce you any moment is unreasonable.
