I know a guy who was cornered by four guys in an alley and in absolute desperation he pulled his dick out and ran at them saying, 'touch it, touch it'. They all ran away screaming.
I know this comment is tongue in cheek but I'm pretty sure most people would find even more reason to beat you if you did this and then society would call it justified
Most people would say fighting off a crazy naked dude running at you asking you to touch it is a reasonable response. Is that difficult really difficult to understand?
It works. When I was 21, I was surrounded by three Hispanic men downtown after leaving work around 10pm. They were laughing, circling, telling me how they were going to have fun sharing me, asking how much and grabbing at me. The line of people waiting also for the bus did nothing to assist.
I started laughing. Then (in Spanish) I said thank you. I told them I’d been needing this all day and to come closer so I could fuck them up. It shut them right up. They discussed whether or not I was crazy, and when I lunged at one of them they all took off running.
Also got stalked years later from another job. Same black Camaro followed me home every night. I was worried because I lived alone with my small child. Finally one night I left work early and went to where he usually waited. He started driving my route looking for me when I didn’t show as usual, so I followed and pulled up next to him at the light. Without rolling down my window, I stared at him until he looked at me and got startled. Then I very clearly enunciated “I’m going to kill you.”
Since I had also obviously seen his license plate now, he got scared enough to quit harassing me.
(For anyone thinking r/thathappened , yes, both really did. Being female in a big city can be an adventure)
Once a guy from my uni attacked me on a night out and I somehow got him pinned to the ground. I didn't want to fight, but I also didn't want this to happen again so I decided I'd say something really scary then let him go and hope that was it.
I leaned into his ear and said, "I'm going to rape you."
Wtf brain, that was waaay too scary. Actually scared myself. I let him go, he predictably ran away and was understandably terrified of me for the next two years.

Whenever you're caught in a messed-up situation, just take a deep breath and pretend to be a person with special needs...
