		<description><![CDATA[I took self-defense classes and instructed my younger sister likewise. It was a moment of great pride for me when we were set upon by a group of drunken hooligans while walking home one night and she punched one of them with such force that he was knocked to the ground. Uhm, they backed off.
So I&#039;m not against that as a solution.
However, often the best defense is just to look at the offender and laugh as if they had just shown you a condensed episode of the Simpsons. Because flashers generally WANT on some level to offend and even frighten you, and getting a fight means they riled you.
Whereas nobody likes it when Mr. Happy gets a good hearty chuckle.

also: water tower/drunk tank = very funny.
