Of bears and men: How big does a risk have to be before you "have to" walk around scared?

[wryter2000]

37. Real risk

Every single woman has been in the situation where a man (or boy) tries to pressure her into having sex she doesn't want. Not all of the situations are violent, but I guaran-damn-tee you that every woman has had at least one experience where she's been coerced into doing something she doesn't want.

It starts with the boys at school. It continues with the father of the household who drives her home from babysitting. It continues with the creep who traps women in the copy room. And just maybe one of those creeps is willing to kill her.

It happens to every single woman. All of us. Each of us. So, if you want to talk about the statistical probability that a woman will find herself in a situation where she'll need to escape an unwanted sexual contact...that probability is 100%.
