That's a question that has been on my mind of late. After seeing several news articles, one about an 11 yr old girl walking on a road in rural Manitoba getting raped and killed last year, then a 14 yr old in the city, and several others about women getting raped or otherwise assaulted while walking to their car after work, or while walking through a dark poorly lit park at night alone, and of course the thousands upon thousands of rapes going on across every city and town in N. America... PLUS the fact that in the USA alone a rape occurs every two minutes.

Isn't that enough to at least take some measure and get someone to walk with you or phone for someone to come and pick you up?

Yet every night there they are, women out walking alone. I find it unbelievable. For instance, I take long walks usually quite early in the morning, and sometimes late in the evening. My usual route passes me through several parks and down along the riverbank close to downtown. I often pass lone women walking, and have noticed that they often glance very nervously at me as I pass. Now granted, I'm a big gronk of a guy, but the fact is I'm the one guy that they can feel safe with, but of course they don't know that. But shouldn't that twinge of fear in and of itself be enough to scare them into having more sense in their heads? It obviously doesn't.

Now, some women will say they like their freedom, and don't want to lower that freedom by having to call someone or have someone hold their hand every time they have to walk to their car. To that I say yes, better to risk getting assaulted rather than curb your "freedom as a woman" that .01%. Sarcastic, yes... but is it not true? Would that rape statistic not be at least somewhat lowered if women would stop walking alone at night?

Ladies, do you think nothing at all of just heading out the door alone whenever you feel like it?

What is the general consensus on this?

I realize most rapes are done by someone known to the victim, in fact in reported cases it's over 70%. But I also know that around 60% of all sexual assaults go unreported. The stat that surprised me the most is that only about 6% of rapists actually do any prison time.
