So I took a self defense class with a feminist club on campus last night and the instructor was explaining to us that our voice is our most important asset during a confrontation with a possible predator and we were going to practice yelling “stop it” at the top of our lungs until he went around and discovered that none of the women felt comfortable doing it.
He pointed at the first girl and said “yell at me” and she told him she didn’t feel comfortable yelling or raising her voice.
He pointed at another and she said she didn’t want to disrupt anyone else on the field.
He asked if the girls would feel more comfortable yelling if we had been in a closed space with just us and they said maybe.
It was just really heart breaking honestly that these women, including myself, didn’t feel comfortable raising their voices or grabbing attention in a practice setting where everyone knew what we were doing. Women are socialized to remain quiet and not use their voices.
We ended up practicing yelling all at once together and it made everyone a lot more comfortable. I just hope that if the time ever comes, that we speak up and scream our heads off in the face of a potential attacker.
