I've been reading comments like this for quite a while.  When will we, as
members of the human race, (not just MEN or WOMEN) realize that consideration
and understanding starts with oneself.  If I sit here and wait for someone to
be considerate of my feelings, I'll have a LOOOOONG wait!  On the other hand,
if I start by being as considerate and sensitive as I possibly can, I find
that I tend to breed consideration in others.  The old adage "You catch more
flies with honey than you do with vinegar" really holds true.

I really doubt that rape is something any man can truly understand.  I also
think you're exagerating the threat of rape a great deal.  I'm sorry you feel
you have to face that threat "every time [you] go out the door."  I don't.
Maybe it has something to do with where I live.
