    Three comments in a thread where it is mentioned multiple times that it’s women only? It’s almost impressive how you managed to barge in here and start lecturing all of us without reading a single comment.

    You have no idea how trained ZDL is at handling knives. Please don’t mansplain self protection.

      Tbf if you are trained at handling knives you probably wouldnt want to use them for self defense. Knives are terrible at defending yourself without killing your adversary. Pepper spray doesnt have the issue of having to defend yourself in a lawsuit afterwards and is more legal to carry around in most places.

        That’s all fine and dandy and you’re right. I still wouldn’t specifically single out ZDL while ignoring the rules of a community to give said advice like LostCarcosan did. ZDL was not saying she carries knives as advice, she was simply stating what she does to feel comfortable.
