It’s more than the probability, it’s the level of harm. It’s similar to how we protect our kids from paedos with a high degree of safety even though the risk is really low. It’s because the harm from a paedo is fucking huge. The harm a man can do to a woman is fucking huge, life shattering, soul destroying. Women go to lengths to avoid that because it does happen and it’s impossible to know when, where, who. The only truth we have is that it is a possibility now, here, with this stranger.
Do you you think death… Isn’t all of that? People die or are paralyzed in car accidents.
I’m with op, the risk analysis and responses of society are so batshit insane to me. Absolutely petrified of shit that never/rarely happens, completely ignoring the things actively and currently killing them.

Not to mention that rape by a stranger is literally the rarest type of rape, re relationship to the victim.
