If I had a knife chances are they could grab it out of my hand and stab me, I'm more likely to be hurt by the knife than any attacker. Secondly, why should I be afraid of being defenseless? Why should I get caught up in paranoia that every man that walks past me is a potential rapist, and that I shouldn't even be out after dark? I'm not stupid, I avoid dark alley ways and know enough self defense to be able to get out of a grip and run, but like I said, St.John's has a pretty low crime rate and its rare that you hear about women being randomly attacked in public. I'm just not afraid.
