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...
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.

The idea that women of all ages, weights, appearances, etc. have the same rates of assault seems incredibly wrong to me, like risk of sexual assault goes down for older women, statistically. I also only get catcalled when I wear certain clothing. There's definitely factors here.
