i'm not sure anymore 😶

A Glasgow nightclub has installed a two-way mirror which allows male revellers in private booths to spy on unsuspecting women as they visit the toilet! With no notification or signage anywhere in the venue many female club goers have been left feeling embarrassed and used. Although they do briefly show the mirrors in a promo video, the club has been quickly deleting comments and posts on their social media from club goers trying to alert others to the situation. This is pretty much illegal and hugley violates privacy. Thank you The Shimmy Club for giving us a shiny, new, creative and cool take on objectification. article here

“No space, leave the place” (fingernail test)

A two way mirror must be set INTO the wall, not placed on top of it.

If you rap/knock against the mirror, one installed onto a wall (a normal mirror) will make a dull sound, because there’s something behind it. A two-way will have more reverberation.

Use the flashlight on your phone to shine on the mirror, if it’s a two-way, you’ll be able to see into the other room.

You can also shield your eyes and see in if you lean up against the glass.

Other casters: That’s not really how spells -

Wizard: Oh look, one of our blankets is now a magic carpet.  Guess we don’t need a bridge.

Other casters: There’s been too much rain, it won’t -

Wizard:  I fixed it so that it’s in the same state it was yesterday.  Someone here knows how to start a fire, right?

Other casters: THAT’S NOT HOW MAGIC WORKS YOU IDIOT WE’RE GOING TO DIE

Dragon: *coughs* Did you just… cure my intestinal problems?  I’ve been trying to stop breathing fire for weeks, but it just kept spilling out, and every time I tried to ask for help, I burned everything down.  I won’t forget this kindness.

One year ago, they’d admitted to themselves that the kid might not be the sharpest athame in the ritual, but finding creative ways to apply their “spell” was  kind of entertaining. 

These days…they’re starting to suspect the kid knows exactly how their “magic” works, and what the two of them really have here is a silent partnership to troll every caster they meet into gibbering fits of confusion.  

Just in case you forget this exists.

Peter: What’s up, Thor. Dude, I just wanted you to know that you radiate big dick energy today.

Thor: God of thunder in the streets, god of big dick in the sheets, I suppose.

Peter, checking to see if he’s still recording then proceeding to give a thumbs up: I stan so hard. Legends only.

Peter, bumping into Steve reading the paper: Cap! Ah, have a moment? Word on the street is that you have big dick energy. Thoughts?

Steve, choking on his coffee: I-I guess the serum did have… its effects…

Peter: Oh my god.

Peter, finding Bucky watering flowers: Hey, man. Love what you did with your hair today, may I enlighten you on the fact that you have, putting it modestly, very big dick energy?

Bucky, looking into the camera like he’s on the office: …Parker what the hell.

Peter, breaking into the sanctum: Wow doctor, looks like you got a super serious case of chronic big dick energy there.

Strange: Listen. There’s kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, electrical, even the vague concept of dark energy. But there is no big dick or whatever you just—

Peter: You’re no fun.

Peter, after buying a plane ticket and flying to Wakanda unsupervised: As king and black panther, your highness, your reign is supreme and so is your big dick energy.

T'challa, amidst a breakdown: Noo!!! Stop!! You and Shuri, I am begging you, please, I have no idea what that means!!!!

Peter, approaching Tony relaxing on a lounge chair: Now for The Man. The one and only, genius billionaire playboy philanthropist. Mr. Stark, are you aware you have big dick energy?

Tony, lowering his shades: Kid, I invented big dick energy.

Number 1: Armpit strikes.

What the HELL are you thinking? Do you honestly believe you have the strength in this position to exert any power? This chick has her body flash up against a wall, striking distance is less than her full arm length and shes using her FINGERS in the first one. Why do we NOT strike with fingers?? You ever snapped a finger in a fight before? You either die or you carry on struggling with a useless fist. Don’t do these. Please.

Number 2: Chin Strikes.

This is a bit better, but number ‘3′ in this little combo implies you still have striking ability in this position and I can assure you that is horribly false. Especially if your opponent is looming a full headheight above you. Don’t aim for the chin because lets be honest, you’re not Mike Tyson. Aim for the throat. As hard as you can. And don’t let up. Ignore number 4 because most headbutts are an opener to a fight not an ender to a combo, and chances are you’ll give yourself a concussion or atleast disorientation. Don’t do either of these.

Number 3: Kung-fu bullshit.

To fully appreciate how bad an idea this is I’ll break apart the individual movements. Movement 1: the upward palm to the chin. This is done in combination with shooting your arm above and around your opponents arm but I’ll get to that later. The upwards palm is designed to deter your attacker at best, not as a primary striking move. This strike implies two things:

1. You have the ability to force your opponent’s head backwards with arm strength alone. 2. Your opponent is not determined enough to walk straight through your wing-chun bullshit. Point 2 is important because most people have never engaged in a confrontation with someone who is DETERMINED to harm them. They don’t care that you’re punching them in the head. They will walk through it and mess you up even worse. Assume all attackers are determined and deal with them in an appropriate way, with aggression that is GREATER than that they are displaying. Sounds crazy to do, but you need to exhibit a larger urge to harm than theirs during your response. Movement 2: The arm shoot. Anyone who has done wrestling, jujutsu or BJJ will tell you that trying to manipulate a larger opponent is absolute hell. Especially if they are significantly larger than you. What an arm shoot is setting yourself up for is a grappling match you are more than probably going to lose. This assumes he doesn’t have 2-3 buddies waiting close by to help him out whilst you’re struggling around like an idiot. Avoid wrestling in all non-sport fights, it usually ends badly for you. Don’t do this.

Number 4: The nut-shot.

SO CLOSE. YOU WERE SO CLOSE. This is a two part technique that almost functions well as an opener to a combo and creating some distance between you and your attacker. Movement 1 is a dual headbutt and push towards the groin. This is just not quite enough to create a gap; your ability to perform a decent headbutt at bear-hug range is massively hindered. At best you have 4cm of wiggle room with your head to make the shot. Most people, especially when jumped up on adrenaline, won’t even notice a small headbutt. The little boop to the groin even less so. Hell you might even arouse your would-be rapist. Striking with the knee to the groin should be on a more forwards angle. The nut-cracking is only part of this, you want to create distance. Push forwards with your hips and drive that knee THROUGH the nuts, he’ll instinctually move backwards. This works on women too, by the way. They’re expecting it less.

Number 5: Single leg sweep.

Don’t. Don’t do this. He’s bear hugging you and already has full back control. The moment you reach forwards, old mate here is going to posture all his weight onto your back and you’re going to eat cement and end up looking like Lady Deadpool. Avoid eating cement, don’t do this.

FINAL NOTE:

If you are concerned for your safety and want to learn more, please contact a self defence or martial arts school in your area. When assessing the gym/dojo for their practicality in self defence, you should be looking at their drills: - Are the ‘attackers’ showing aggression that you would expect in a real confrontation? - Are the ‘defenders’ showing the correctly response to aggression that you need to display to survive an attack?

Generally speaking, these moves work.

Generally speaking.

But, I strongly recommend joining a fight gym and training.

Training gives everyone fight instinct and develops muscle memory.

Instinct kicks in and muscle memory takes over.

You do the right thing, at the right time, to escape danger.

An Article from Neena Susan Thomas

“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:

1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .

b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.
