[QUOTE="VL Darling, post: 7726940, member: 6904455"] Price is not arguing anything anywhere near that. It is disingenuous to even paraphrase what she and others have said about responses to trauma as anything like that. It takes weeks and months of training to get something into muscle memory rather than relying on your adrenalinised response. And it takes a HUGE amount of courage to physically defend yourself against a loved one crossing a line, or to do so in public, when your adrenal response is 'freeze' or 'fawn' AND the aggressor has set it up for those responses with emotional/social aggression prior. Yes we could all do with some defence training. Using it against a friend is an entirely different situation to using it in public, and if you add in any other complicating factors - like, say, not being entirely sure anyone will support you because you've done that before and been told you're making a big deal out of nothing - it is way past unkind and well into maliciously stupid to tell a survivor of violence what they should have done better in your opinion as someone who wasn't there and hasn't been in that situation.
