I really don’t like the language “refuse to be a victim” when talking about self-defence programs for women. The inherent subtext is that women are constantly living in a hypothetical victimhood state, and not knowing self-defense techniques somehow makes you responsible for being a victim. Self-defense is important, and these skills are very helpful in dangerous situations, but we should be able to talk about it without the context (overt or subliminal that it may be) of victim-blaming or once more placing the ownness of integrity or safety entirely with the victim.
