"Mainly men. But those figures are misleading because it includes a vast range of things. Don't just believe the headlines; look into the details of the statistics and you'll be surprised how rare it is that women are attacked. We limit our lives needlessly and that's a shame."
The above statement is assuming that the only reason women modify their behaviour, is to mitigate the threat of an unknown assailant jumping out of a bush to attack.
If this were the case then perhaps you'd have an argument that this is a disproportionate response. However, the threat of male violence is more insidious than that. Over the years I have encountered, on numerous occasions, men who have behaved sexually inappropriately. From being groped in a public place to being flashed at when I was a child, and more. I can't emphasise enough how normalised these incidents were, they are reduced to anecdotes I share with friends when we talk. They in turn do the same "hey Lucie remember that creepy bloke way back when ...."
I know several women who have been approached by men when out late, walking by themselves. Who've had a man sit next to them on a bus and feel their leg. Who've had a man make lewd comments.
These stories we share and the lived experiences are what shapes our behaviours, why we advise our nearest and dearest to take measures to stay safe. Why there is an unease in certain circumstance. You are correct in one thing though, it is a very sad reflection on society.
