    You are arguing crime isnt common, I’m arguing that WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN its done by men.

    Since this is a conversation about who commits violence most often, it doesnt make sense to appeal to the fact that most people rarely encounter violence.

    For the record, I agree, people shouldn’t be worried in general about this stuff. For those that are in situations where they are at risk, they should be careful around men, period.

    Are you arguing its stupid for a women to take preventative measures or protect themselves in all cases?

      I’m arguing that the risk is so minimal that no one bothers mitigating it.

      I might get shot today, yet I’m not wearing a ballistics vest.

        That seems to be mostly true for men at least. Not really for women. So far at my workplace, its the women that have had stalkers and unwanted physical advances, not the men.
