Terrifica -- Protector of Females Everywhere! Actually, Just New York...

Terrifica! A bit crazy...

This is a true story. I had to read it twice to make sure... and also checked the calendar to see that it wasn't April 1st. This 30 year old goes around to bars in New York and "protects" drunk women from men seeking to take advantage of them. She has a utility belt with pepper spray and some Smarties for when she needs some sugar. Read this story and enjoy the feelings you have that vasilate between bewilderment and interest.

You know what? I read this story again. I find it interesting. This person has decided to take a persona, one stronger than the one she normally works with, so she can be emotionally stronger than the types of men out there that prey on women who are weakened by inhibriation and/or pour judgement. I used to go to clubs by myself a lot before I met my present girlfriend and I would see those guys all the time that would look for the drunk girls in the bar because they would seem funnier and slicker to them. It sickened me, quite frankly. It made me angry at both parties. I hate people who take advantage of others but am also irritated by people who don't do what is necessary to take care of themselves. I know plenty of girls who would solely blame the guy for indiscretions that occured when drunk. Ladies, take some responsibility for yourself! I know that I've been "Terrifica" before and I just can't be everywhere!

UPDATE: A reader of this blog emailed me to tell me that he was going to become a super hero named Masturbataman. I wonder what his super power is?
