Nope. Because you know what? The dudes who sexually assaulted and abused me were, as most of them are, my goddamned partners. Men I had invited into my home and my bed. Random assault by a stranger on the open street is vanishingly rare.https://twitter.com/KateBurkeNHS/status/1369635128931127296 …

Which is not to say it does not happen, but that if, while living as a woman, you are going to organize your life around living in fear then you will get the most return on that never, ever getting romantically involved with cis dudes.

I often wonder why we push this narrative that women should be afraid to go out in public. And I say we because pretty much everyone buys into it and pushes it until if you're a woman and you're not, you kind of feel like a failure at femininity.

Who benefits from making women fear to stride through public places like they own them? Why do we assert that it's so dangerous when, objectively speaking, it is much less dangerous than getting romantically involved with men?

Replying to @jenrjones @NeolithicSheep
It’s because a woman has disappeared and presumed to have been murdered by a police officer. And a teenager was killed in Wales as well, although I don’t know if that was a stranger or someone she knew.

And to be clear I agree with Shep that we focus on attacks by strangers when the attacks are usually domestic. Just that it’s not just about a woman getting assaulted.
