How's about 1. Buy a gun* 2. Train 3. Shoot anyone who tries to assault** you
And if there are any of the hoodlum's pals with any lingering doubt as to your seriousness, make it clear you've got plenty of bullets left, and they're welcome to further experimentation-- however poorly it may leave them.
Relying on others to do the right thing leaves too many grey areas as to what exactly the right thing is.
*In areas that don't believe in leveling the playing field, you may substitute pepper spray, kubotans, knives, or other personal protection tools, though those tools may have limited effectiveness against hoodlums who disregard firearm licensing laws.
**It is usually legally defensible to use deadly force against the threat of rape.
