    Wow the comments here are really poorly informed. Women getting sexually assaulted isn’t some rare thing. 1 in 5 women get sexually assaulted in their lifetime and nearly all women have a scary experience. It’s not some rare thing that’s being drummed up through fear mongering, it’s a very real threat all women have to worry about.

    Frankly, I don’t want to hear the opinions of a bunch of men who never go outside and have no real world experience about the reality of sexual assault.

        They are, and we should care more, but women are still 10 times more likely to be assaulted which makes their daily fear far more elevated, and the assaults against men, are still being perpetrated by men, so it doesn’t even really change anything.

          Plus, we are taught by everyone around us that we should be afraid, except by men who feel like it’s more traumatizing to be feared than to actually experience objectification.
