But, absolutely an older, wiser, and more aware "adept and equipped" female could certainly have radically altered her outcome and her chances for survival MUCH for the better.
Not a little 11 year old naive kid though caught in that exact scenario.
Just my personal opinion on that.

I understand where you're coming from, OTOH...
stats. show that females who fight back, even with only empty-hand techniques, are much more likely to survive relatively unscathed. In most cases it's probably not because they physically dominated their attacker (just not likely for the average woman against the average man). It's because they made themselves
more trouble than they were worth and the guy decided to move on to a "softer" target.
We'll never know what would have happened if Carlie had fought back literally kicking and screaming, but it very well could have made the guy look for an easier mark.
