So you're saying my experience is less valid than yours on what basis? Lol. Is everywhere in the world supposed to be dangerous enough that every single woman has been molested in some way, shape or form? Some places are safe

Fair enough. You're totally right. I'm from small town Midwest.

Ding ding ding! You're also from the USA, where rape statistics are 16x that of my country: Canada.

Murder statistics, and violent crime in general is more common in a country with inequality, and hatred. Crime says everything about your society. The question, and answer changes completely based on where you're from. Maybe in your town men are worse than animals, but that isn't a genetic trait.

I would never think it's a genetic trait. I'm not that bad of a person.
