Ellen,
Not trusting ANY man not to rape you rings of paranoia, or you are just
flattering yourself by thinking you are such an irresistable target that
a good man could turn bad by just looking at you.  Your remarks are an
abomination to decent men every where.  I hope you can contain outrageous
remarks like this to your own mind and not subject two continents to such
thinking.
