I have never found myself in this position but I could think of one thing that would give him a solid idea that I did not want his advances...a swift kick in the groin. And I'd like to think that I would not find myself driven out to a remote area with someone I did not want to be there with. |
The woman was probably too scared to try to hurt him for fear he would really, really hurt her in retaliation but that is where people like you and me differ. I don't have the good sense to think of those kinds of things when somebody begins to try to intimidate or force me - I get mad and I strike out like you would - thereby probably setting myself up for real injury or death from a much stronger adversary! My "no" means "no" and I'm probably going to go down shouting it.
