Nobody is going to grab me from behind leaving work, rape me in my car and then murder me as like happened to a waitress right near the OSU campus when my daughter was a student there.
As a woman, I take precautions every day. I watch where I park, where I walk. I lock my doors and avoid certain areas after dark. I avoid being isolated. I guard my drinks when out in a public restaurant or bar.
Just because in most cases the fear is overblown doesn't mean that I think common sense shouldn't prevail in all cases
