Believe it depends on the circumstances in my case. I remember a very compromising situation late one night when a "friend" asked me what I would do if I were raped. I said I would stick a sharp instrument through an eye socket. This was when I was a tenant of a man in a very bad part of Minneapolis while he was just in his underwear and I had no access to a car. I am straight but his being bi-sexual was quite a surprise.
I had also been the victim of an attempted car jacking around 1984 near a rest stop on US Highway 50 near Sacramento Pass in Nevada. I pulled in late at night half asleep and a man in a suit, no less, grabbed my car door and threatened to slam it on my legs. I told him no and quickly moved my legs. If he had not moved very quickly, he would have had his feet run over or worse if he had tried to block my egress.
