A 28 year old female US sailor beat the bejeesus out of a bus driver in Dubai after he pulled a knife on her and announced he was going to rape her. I’m not entirely comfortable giving a “you go girl!” to a rape story, but damn - it’s nice to see one of these guys finally get their comeuppance. I’m surprised she didn’t kill him. Basically, she got on the bus after shopping, he drove to a bus terminal, pulled a knife on her, and told her he was going to rape her. What the bus driver sadly didn’t realize is that the female sailor has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. She beat the cr-p out of him.
Say what you will about whether women belong in combat units, but this is clearly a case where an American servicewoman took the fight to the enemy. In this case, the enemy was a Pakistani bus driver in Dubai who decided that he was going to rape her.
Clearly, the bus driver expected his intended victim to meekly acquiesce and allow him to have his way with her at knifepoint. Imagine how surprised he must have been when the woman stood her ground, fought back, and in fact beat the crap out of him. Those who believe that misogyny and disrespecting women are their birthright as men deserve to get their comeuppance when they try to assert their perceived natural dominance. The bus driver got EXACTLY what he had coming to him.
It’s been said that respect isn’t given; it must be earned. I think we can safely say that there’s one bad-ass American servicewoman in Dubai whom we should all be tipping our caps to. Nice work, eh?
