Thanks for this. I just looked into some talks this guy gave. It's a bit unsettling to know that as a woman just having a gait thats smaller respective to your size puts you on the radar of sexual predators.

Since i've been harassed a lot in my life I am going to check this out and see what else he has to say about this. But so far is information is quite enlightening

Saidit has the Pyramid of Debate, here is the Pyramid of Personal Safety. This is a great site for someone who's been attracting harassment, with many personal behavior tips for a variety of different situations where people are victimized.

See also the Five Stages of Violent Crime section, where in the Interview stage, the criminal assesses both the situation and your behavior to determine their odds of a successful attack.
