This will be women who don't live each day with an awareness of our own physical vulnerability. I truly believe this is a thing being impressed on women now tho and those who say they do think like that (but don't live in something like a warzone) are completely honest about it.https://twitter.com/laurakenworthy/status/1050455072541429760 …

I thought this when looking at the song in which the woman listed all the things she couldn't do because she was a woman. Included opening the door in pyjamas. The chances of the person on the other side being a home-invading rapist is statistically very low indeed but possible

Is it possible that this is a similar narrowing of attention to possible but unlikely dangers which are then built up to something some women live with as a constant fear and limit their lives in response to? It seems possible.

If so, some kind of free range female adulting advocacy could be warranted in cases where women are limiting their lives in fear of a danger that is very unlikely. Obv not in cases where the fear of attack is realistic. And in either case, focus is still needed on reducing danger
