Maybe the question should be instead "are women more afraid of being raped,
or of being murdered?".  One might find that even though murder is worse
than rape that more women are afraid of being raped than of being murdered
(until of course they are raped, at which point they are probably afraid of
being murdered as well).  Well, actually I am only speaking for myself now.
I certainly do know that I worry much more about the danger of being raped
than the danger of being murdered.
