    So if you assume an unknown man is likely to be violent towards you and it’s not worth the risk then how do you ever expect to meet new people that are men without automatically assuming they are a rapist? Also, you said that the majority of rape victims knew and trusted their rapists which means that you can’t even trust the people you know. So now you’re telling me you literally can’t trust anyone and you’re trying to tell me that you’re not paranoid. Please explain to me how that makes sense.

      “Paranoid” only applies if it’s not justified. It’s not paranoid to act reasonably to a potential threat.

      Most women just fake trust until it’s proven one way or the other. We’re just not bothering faking it with total strangers as much.
