Male victims are often times more violent and on a statistical level feel more of their sense of security violated.

thank you.
I had one (just one) male friend who was completely and absolutely furious that this happened to me. He identifies as a feminist and he's an all-around intelligent young man who I'm lucky to know. However, I told my story to the most important women in my life and EVERY ONE OF THEM was aghast, arms outstretched, telling me they were glad I'm ok.
Even the officer I spent some time with told me that I'm lucky I didn't get punched in the face or knifed, because that
does happen. In the back of every woman's mind (and at the forefront whenever we're being trailed or within close quarters of suspicious or brutish looking men) is the agonizing thought that we could easily be victims of crime because we're seen as easy prey. We can't let our guard down because something might happen to us. What was supposed to be a relaxing bus trip after 9 hours of running around a packed store on a major holiday sale turned into a traumatic event that's left me paranoid and reevaluating my transportation choices.
