Problem with horror movies

Particularly these old movies. The women in these movies... dear lord. Have they not heard the term "fighting back"? No. For the most part they scream and cry and crawl uselessly away from the psycho in the hockey mask. I've seen them throw plates and books and only one person threw something useful - a television set that she smashed over Jason's head. But they ALWAYS seem to leave him alone after they think he's dead. Do we not WATCH horror movies?? Do we not know how this works??? I swear to God that if I am EVER chased by some serial killer wearing a mask and carrying a machete I am going to MAKE SURE HE IS DEAD. A head will be cut off, limbs will be removed. I might even jump up and down on the lifeless body until said attacker is well and truly DEAD. In one movie the characters were hiding in a loft and when Jason was climbing the ladder to get to them.. they LET HIM! Nobody kicked the ladder out, nobody hit him over the head as he came up.. and NOBODY took away his machete. Hello!! Take the machete away from him!!! TAKE IT! Do NOT leave the machete with the crazy person... It's just common sense. Let's do a little thinking people, okay??? Thanks, now back to the movie!
