not at all, double, but i've found in my experience that most women who go into the teaching arena (i said most, jadzia, not all) aren't really the "alpha type" who wouldn't hesitate to bust out a can of mace or a taser or even as some people have suggested (but i completly don't approve of) a gun. with people like the ones described in the story above, if you hesitate for even a second to use whatever weapon/protection you have available, they <b>will</b> take advantage and use it against you... i'd hate to see us arm teachers and then start hearing stories about how the teachers' protection devices were used against them.
does that mean all women would become victims of their own protection? certainly not. i'd see alot of women who can successfully use these devices... but i see so many more who may hesitate for a moment or two and have that hesitation become their downfall in an attack like the one above.
