How To Make Use Of Improvised Weapons - Online Survival Blog & Survival News (This article was originally published on survivopedia.com and written by Chris Black.

We live by the survivalist’s golden rule, the 3 G’s : guns, gold and a getaway plan. But, if you’re a realist, you must take into consideration any plausible scenario and one of them (maybe the most disturbing one) is the following: What are you going to do in a survival situation when you’re out of ammo and the bad guys are still coming?

10 Self-Defense Lessons for Girls OK, here’s the GIST of this lesson: You’re not LESS THAN, in any way, nor are you going to allow yourself to be treated as something LESS THAN, just because you’re a girl.

Sexism is when a man or women discriminates against or devalues someone of the opposite sex, just because they are of the opposite sex; as in: “I’m better (or privileged) because I am a man, a male, and you are a female.” Sexism is something we learn. Self-defense against sexism (that is, in being a victim of discriminatory behavior aimed towards you, just because you’re a female) begins with BEING AWARE when someone is behaving in a way that treats you as “less than,” just because you’re a girl.
