This attitude is what makes virtual prisoners of all women, that a woman
who "walks alone in the night" is really *asking* for rape.  Maybe she's
only going home from work, or visiting a friend.  Maybe she's only enjoying
the same freedom men take for granted.  I'm cautious enough not to walk
alone at night (except in my own neighborhood), but I'm intelligent enough
to resent the need for caution.

I've had a great many troubles in my time, and most of them never happened.
