It is a fight to teach daughters to think more tactically, and cultivate the ability to use violence to defend yourself, while society is still pressuring females to not empower themselves in self-defense. I teach my daughters, and even tell most women when I talk to them is that when a man attacks you, the last thing you want to do is turn around and run away. Turning your back to your attacker is the first most dangerous thing you can do. But, in the same light, I tell women that you don't want to get into a boxing match with a man, because, well, most of us women would lose if it was a brute force fight.
I tell my daughters that if ever they are attacked by a male, that they should go towards them with a few key areas in mind to target...the throat, and the eyes, if he cant breath or see, he is going to be worrying about things other than continuing to attack you. The man targets the woman because he views her as weak, and unable to defend herself. But when a woman has an immidiate forceful response, it throws the man off. It is equal to a wolf attacking a sheep, and the sheep responds like a wolf.
Personally, if I have to engage a man on a brute force, physical level, I will target those two area with everything I have...I will likely be the last person he ever sees with his eyes, or the last person he sees before he loses consciousness from lack of oxygen.
***Disclaimer*** I am not in any way saying that men only target women, womenDO target men...just using an example.

That is one issue I have already been confronting (I still have 5 years until the oldest goes to college), is how to deal with my daughters being away to college, and how they are going to defend themselves.
