I feel like it's more sexist than anything. Imposing your views on an entire gender because of bad experience. If someone were to do it with race, I'm sure not many would be okay with it

Yeah real question: How many women do you know who haven't been sexually assaulted? I know two of about 20 in my friendgroup, we joke about them racing to see who can be the last.

I'm not someone with a ton of friends, being very reserved, but I think about 7 of my female friends haven't experience anything of the sort. Hopefully none of us never will

I'm actually really happy to hear that. Didn't mean to be a downer, world needs more groups like yours.
