There are no guarantees in life, but self-defense is absolutely not limited to being a strictly mechanical process. It's not about the mechanics of "can she use a knife successfully in a fight". It's about the whole package of the woman and how she presents, and the signals she gives off to the rest of the world. An armed woman gives off stronger, more assertive signals. People are not stupid and are less likely to mess with a strong young woman.
Agree... but most teenagers are in condition white, more preoccupied with what is going on in their phone than their surroundings. Simply having a knife does not change this...

They say the same things about handguns...so why bother carry anything? :roll:
Well, with a handgun, a little distance is your friend. A knife is much more up close and personal. A knife isn't a magical talisman that will offer a great deal of protection with no training on how to use it... neither is a firearm.
