> But it happens so rarely Good grief, please stop the politics and educate yourself some time. Sexual abuse is not a gendered problem. If you factor in gender and sex specific differences (e.g. "made to penetrate" is often not counted as rape, meaning penis-in-vagina can only show up in rape statistics when the woman is the victim; also women are far more likely to engage in psychological abuse than physical abuse) there are very few differences in the numbers. What you're describing is essentially stranger danger for grownups: although it's far more likely for a person to be abused by a relative or partner, the perceived risk from strangers is disproportionately higher. Additionally the social recluse is far less likely to abuse you than the touchy-feely "uncle" everyone loves. Everybody's a potential rapist. Everybody's a potential murderer. If that makes you so paranoid it impairs your personal and professional relationships, you should seek professional help. Unless of course you live in a pre-feminist place like Saudi Arabia, in which case you have my deepest sympathies.
