She absolutely had to disable him to the point where he didn't come back at her. If he had been able to do that, she might be dead. But thanks for mansplaining how she should have gone easy on this degenerate. Good grief.

Maybe a little overkill is what he needed. GaYellowDawg Feb 13 #18
IMO if she stopped short of debilitating him until the doors opened, this story would have a different ending. Hope22 Saturday #220

I think you're confusing rejections of your assertions with "being upset" Torchlight Feb 13 #90
Snicker Brenda Feb 13 #139
Oh, jeez. I'm late to this thread. He really said women were "being upset" because we object to demands Scrivener7 Monday #240
Oh, I'm not upset at all. LuckyCharms Feb 13 #100

Well, if that had gone to trial and she was in the dock on assault charges, and I were on the jury... Jedi Guy Feb 13 #178
I don't think so. A man is bigger and stronger than a woman, so she would be justified in fearing that if she didn't tblue37 Saturday #184
A women who was assaulted in a confined space she cannot readily retreat from can/should use all the force she can Attilatheblond Saturday #206
Golly, maybe if he had smiled more she wouldn't have felt the need to fiercely defend herself until she could escape Attilatheblond Saturday #210
Yes. Because he could catch more flies with honey than with a creepy sexual assault in an elevator. Scrivener7 Monday #239
Really? She was still stuck in there with him LearnedHand Saturday #227
