Art for
rageprufrock's History of Maps


For those rare few who see this on my journal but do not know about
14valentines, do take a look at all the days, for the fiction, the artwork and mainly, the things we need to be aware of. This piece is for Day 10 of the 14 day span which deals with Rape and Sexual assault. This was my contribution.
I took a RAD (Rape Aggression Defense) course in college. The second day was practice with female instructors and a very nice male officer who was about six feet and weighed close to 300 pounds who acted as the attacker for us to practice our self defense techniques on. I don't know if he went easy on us or if I just did the right things, but I managed to get away in the simulated scenarios but I felt like crying after that because it felt so real. But I also felt stronger, and just that much safer that I could fight it. Please try to take at least one self defense course, all police stations arrange it for women. I don't know how much it costs, but I can't think of anything more worthy of that cost.

Date: 2007-02-11 05:46 am (UTC)I was reading the story today, and I kept thinking of the last scene of 'Cartography by Touch' and the accompanying artwork. You did that one as, no? With John and the orange flowers?
