Tfs.
Agree that the men need to be taught to respect women but I don't get what is wrong in teaching the girls self-defense. It is such a huge confidence booster for the women knownin they can take on any man. And even men do all these knowing women are weaker physically. So, if the girls show them they can physically stand up to these men what is worng in that.
Changing mindsets is going to take a long time. So, till that time the women are supposed to wait for the men's mindset to change ? Self-defense is something better than nothing and it is one of the steps we have to take to make our country safe.
