I've heard that most rapes occur in the home.  I've also heard that in
most such cases the woman let the man in.  That involves unlocking the
door.

My purpose in making that remark was to make a point that women do have
some control over their risk of rape, not to advocate this particular
drastic course of action.  A lot of people seem to believe, for reasons
that have little to do with the truth of the matter, that women are
totally helpless.
