You want to deny that there is such a thing of women who limit their activities due to this.
That's up to each individual woman, I suppose. You want to state you've never ever experienced this, then I guess I got to believe you. And good for you.
But women who do aren't claiming any victimhood or lying, they are relaying real fears and experiences. No one said ALL women feel the same way. Gosh, maybe a cartoon should be made to say, "Not all woman" that works just as good for derailing feminist topics.
The statement in the context it is meant is true. To a woman who is in fear of being raped in a situation as I described is true. She doesn't know a good guy from a rapist. She still feels a fear and is uncomfortable.
You want to come up with a bunch of other types of scenarios, by all means go for it, and try to say that because men feel some type of fear as well, that makes a womans experience null or untrue, go for it.
I'm not going to play the games that this OP so greatly outlines above.
