College took a lot of getting used to. I checked my Catholic school background at the door to learn without prejudice but struggled with domineering males. Worse, the need to fit in turned females into willing victims.
Campus crimes like date rape and fraternity hazing loomed large in late night activities. I did not want to come across as so prudish as to snub those but I wished badly to carry a Taser to prevent rape every time I went to a party.
I was introduced to the Taser C2 in one of my older sibling?s weekend trips home from university. He talked about how a couple of wiring 15 feet long with darts at their tips protected the user from the target.
He said not to worry about handling a C2 after consuming alcohol, or heaven forbid, a date rape drug. I could aim it anywhere on the body of an assaulter. He said to wait until I was 18 to legally carry a Taser to prevent rape.
Apparently, his cautionary tales were true to life. How he described the Taser C2 was no exaggeration either. It is unfortunate that I proved it all to myself under distressing circumstances.
A boy I was with during a music festival was being nice to me all of a sudden. I guess I did not seem like the type to carry a Taser to prevent rape. I did not mind because I was with friends in a place I had been to, and he was a fellow dormer.
We were in the thick of the crowd, kids who were intoxicated and blissed out, when he made a quite forceful sexual proposition. I turned it down and he got mad. I had to deal with him all by myself.
I did not have to shoot my C2. He backed off when he saw that I had the presence of mind to carry a Taser to prevent rape. I learned that night to stop being obliging even if it meant I stopped being popular.
