I personally don't 'get' what women mean when they talk about experiencing sexism and harassment and lack of safety - I don't relate to it or experience it very much, and I know some other women who agree. It's weird the disparity here, that some women report so much trouble...
This feels kind of subtly complicated. I don't know for sure what's going on but I really, really don't think it's pure luck. And I hate the idea that I can't investigate factors about women that affect how often they experience assault because I need to worry about blame.

I don't feel like blame even enters into this for me. I don't feel like anybody is more deserving of assault simply because factors increase their chance of assault.

Well why not just admit that the only common denominator is the predator that would mostly go for anyone, be it young, old, beautiful, ugly. They are predators, that is what defines them. Not our “signals”: i was just sitting talking about my work when he grabbed me.
