One of the most difficult things for many women to deal with is hurting someone. Even in a life-threatening fight, many women will flat out refuse to gouge a guy in the eye, knee him in the groin, punch him in the throat or kick his leg hard enough to try to bend it in a direction not intended by nature.

Either they've always had a man who would take care of them, or think one always will. The ultimate victim, on her knees crying and begging.

A similar thread took place here at ETS, where a woman said if she had a gun, she wouldn't use it to defend herself, but would empty it as quickly as possible (NOT at the attacker) so he wouldn't be able to use it against her. So, he beats her to death instead of shoots her. This would be an improvement??? I didn't get it then, don't get it now, and never will.

If a woman wants to survive in a SHTF situation (pregnant or not), she'd better develop a little more in the way of survival instincts. Daddy, Brother Hubby or Handsome Stranger just may not be around to fight off all the bad guys. Life under these conditions is not a romance novel.

A pregnant woman on her own... with a baby coming breech. Now there's a thrill I'll pass on to someone else.
