Don't fool yourselves, people.  This is among the most intractable
problems present in our society.  I hear that European cities are
safer at night; any comments?

In the short run, women will be attacked by men as long as the men
can expect to live through the encounter.  Obvious solution...

In the long run, women will be attacked by men for as long as the
motivation for men attacking women persists.  What this motivation
is, is a matter of public debate.  Proper education of boys will
reduce, but not eliminate, the problem.  But any improvement is
better than none.
