John, re-read what you wrote.  In my opinion, any woman who took
this to heart would live such a narrow, confined life that she'd
be unable to handle herself in many situations, making her ideal
psycho fodder.  This kind of overreaction is part of the problem,
not part of the solution.  Every woman should take reasonable
precautions, and should also make sure they experience enough
people and situations to be able to exercise good judgement about
people.  And guess what, so should men.
