Who Defends Women Against Campus Rape?
College Doctor Prescribes Guns For Self-Protection
By Richard W. Stevens
Editor, The Bill of Rights Sentinel
Did you know that college women in America face a serious
risk of attempted or completed forcible rape? According to
a recent Department of Justice study, 3% - 5% of women suffer
such sexual crimes each year. Over a four-year period, women
stand a chance of at least 1 in 10 of finding themselves
confronting an intending rapist.
What can young women do to protect themselves? Dr. Robert J.
Woolley, staff physician at the University of Minnesota's Twin
Cities campus health clinic, researched the facts and declared:
The best conclusion from available scientific data, then,
is when avoidance of rape has failed and one must choose
between being raped and resisting, a woman's best option
is to resist with a gun in her hands.
Facts of Risk and Defense
Writing in the University of Minnesota Daily in February 20-21,
2001, Dr. Woolley gave the risk data:
-- Between 2.8% and 4.9% of college women will suffer
attempted or completed rape each year.
-- Two-thirds of the rapes occur off-campus, with the
majority in housing such as the victim's residence.
-- Classmates and male friends commit 93% of completed
forcible rapes and 82% of attempted rapes. The great
majority of the attacks occurred in the night hours,
most after midnight.
-- Only 13% of completed rapes and 35% of attempted rapes
occurred on a "date."
Does the victim's physical resistance stop rape? Dr. Woolley
learned:
-- Self-defense stops rapists. According to the Department
of Justice study, "the intended victim's willingness or
ability to use protection might be one reason attempts
to rape and coerce sex failed. Note that the most common
protective action was using physical force against the
assailant."
-- Most recent studies using reliable methods consistently
show that, on average, victims who use greater force to
resist actually lower their risk of completed rape
without suffering other physical harm in the process.
-- Recent studies confirm earlier findings: Women who resist
assault or rape with a gun are "2.5 times more likely to
escape without injury" than those who don't resist. Armed
victims studied were "4 times more likely to escape
uninjured than those who resisted with any means other
than a gun."
Dr. Woolley summed it up:
Research shows clearly that violent crime rates, including
rape, are reduced when more law-abiding citizens carry
concealed handguns. And there is no woman less in fear of
being raped than one who is skilled in the use of the
handgun concealed in her hip holster.
University Fails To Teach or Protect
Does the University of Minnesota where Dr. Woolley works (or
its rape prevention unit) tell students these facts? No. Asked
Dr. Woolley: "Why would the University unit charged with
educating students on rape prevention withhold information on
the most effective tool a woman could choose?"
Dr. Woolley pointed out that the school even forbids the use of
any force in self-defense, and prohibits possession of firearms.
The school's anti-rape literature never mentions the defensive
power of a sidearm. He noted that "the University is not
providing a rape-free environment, yet it prohibits a female
student from defending herself in the most effective way."
What should be done to protect college women? Dr. Woolley
frankly suggests training the women to carry firearms safely
and to shoot accurately with frequent practice. Whenever
carrying a defensive firearms, the women must stay sober to
avoid dangerous situations. Long before an actual attack, the
young women must develop the self-defense mindset -- the mental
commitment to brandish her sidearm when threatened, and if
justifiable and necessary, shoot an attacker.
