YALL. I already wrote today but I am compelled. I am super passionate about one thing and one thing only. WIDGETS THAT PROVIDE B*TCHES WITH MORE SAFETY.
I have an issue with hearing the same shit day in and day out. Stories about being kidnapped, hurt, belittled, attacked and so much worse. Self-identifying women and girls literally LIVE their lives looking over their shoulder and its the most gut wrenching feeling when looking over our shoulders is justified by some bullshit. Bullshit meaning: walking to our cars at night (or during broad daylight bc these motherf*ckers don’t care) while keeping an eye on the weirdo a few cars away, or quickly trying to get the key into the damn door ASAP because a sus looking dude passed us on the street a few minutes ago. ITS EXHAUSTING and SADLY NECESSARY.
Anyways I wanted to talk about my widgets and PLUG YALL. These days people (usually f*ucked up men) feel its their GOD given right to f*uck with us women and girls (sorry for the profanity but this is no joke). SO that being said I have TAKEN UP ARMS in all widget forms and I’ll address them plus include links below.
#1) THE MASTER LOCK 265D Door Security Bar
My apartment is 26327234 years old and for some reason the ancient people who put in my door decided I was one of the lucky few that don’t deserve a peep hole. AND YES I have had instances where a peep hole would have been the most ideal. Like when its 2am and you hear strange noises right outside your door and you are mapping out how to exit down your 26327234 year old fire escape. This thing is gold. I saw it on tik tok and it makes me feel so much more secure. Just adjust it and pop it under the door handle and BOOM automatically upgrade to fortress level apartment!!
Click the pics below each paragraph and CHECK THIS SH*T OUT!
#2) Keychain for Women “Solid Full Stainless Steel Key Chain Pen shape”
This is another FAVE. It’s just an example of another one I have that is similar. My mom bought a pack and I copped a blue one. These bad boys will take an eye out. I literally have one on my car keys and although previously mistaken for a sex toy, this poker will do major damage (and not the good kind).
#3) LADIES AND GENTLEMAN: PEPPER SPRAY! Duh.
It’s kind weird that we normalize women carrying pepper spray. Like think about it. We get cute colors to match our keys or cars, there’s glittery cases and fancy carriers for these. BUT ITS NOT CUTE. WTF. Like being 14 and handed pepper spray by my mom who told me to point and spray if some dick got too close. Years later here we are still carrying. Finally bought a new one though, if you know you know, that shit expires like mascara but do we upgrade as often as we should? NO lol so here’s you’re sign to get some new pepper spray sis!
#4) BRASS KNUCKELS? KINDA!
These are hard to come by. Amazon doesn’t really offer them so I plugged a link to a product that has a little bit of all the widgets in one which is dope. Basically this product goes on your fingers and acts like a jabber to poke MFs who try to poke you. I’ve had mine for years and although its small, it’s something better than your damn keys between your knuckles.
#5) LASTLY: The one and only TASER. 10/10 recommend.
ZAP, fry, and scare creeps all at the same time. Some of these even have a built in alarm or light. Definitely recommend grabbing one of these. Just the sound of the taser could be enough to scare someone off. I like this one because similar to pepper spray, you don’t have to be up on the person to scare them. Threats often don’t mess with you unless you make an easy target (so unfortunate but true) so we have to be in the business of making it hard as hell. This one has amazing reviews and is small enough to pop in your bag. I am definitely a fan!
…….AND THERE YOU HAVE IT GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GIRLS. I literally have at least 2/5 of these with me 100% of the time because living with my head on a swivel gets f*cking old. This is our reality and it’s not our fault, yet we have to go to battle every day against this insane narrative that leaving our homes puts us risk for GOD knows what. Well f*ck that. You screw with me I’ll tase your balls off!
