Honestly, I'd prefer to focus efforts on prevention, rather than optimize my available options once I'm a victim.

Like, given the choice between pepper spray and, say, not having to defend against a rapist at all, hmmm. Choices...

Why don't you tell that to the criminals. I'm sure they'll totally get you & stop being criminals.

Yeah, let's never try to prevent anything ever, because nothing can ever be prevent.

Bullies are bullies until they are made to stop. Sometimes by force & then punishment.

So we should never try to prevent anything. Let's instead resign ourselves to being helpless victims

Who said anything about being a helpless victim? I support self defense rights.

You seem happy to let crime happen, so long as we get to use pepper spray. I'd prefer preventing it all.

So what happens when some women use this mace to commit crimes against men Like abusive wives or muggers.

They get charged same as any other criminal. Assault is not self defense. Try to keep up.

And you know you completely missed the point right? You need to learn to keep up, & butt out.

Then what was your point? You asked what happens when someone misuses pepper spray.

Assuming men will be able to use it the standard assault charges... If it's a woman 165% chance no charge

She couldn't get it out of the bag during the attack. Her strategy has changed now. Easier access

I'm sorry that happened.

We've changed things to avoid her walking by there again. Our police are maxed out here.
