No, but it's the best protection you have.
Just because you can't control what others think and do, doesn't mean you can't take the best measures to protect yourself from them. It isn't all or nothing, you know what I'm talking about. If not, then start taking strolls down dark alleys at night, since we can't control how sick others are...or start getting black out drunk around a bunch of guys you don't know...see my point?
You're right, and I agree with that. But at the same time, it reinforces what I said before about women being taught to fear men. In a perfect world women would be able to walk at any time of night without having to worry about being assaulted or raped, but unfortunately that doesn't happen, even in the United States. You're absolutely correct, we gotta be careful, and take every measure and precaution to protect yourself. Carry mase, pepper spray, register for a handgun, do what you gotta do.
