Considering how many women have been raped, I don't think 
Ellen Eades' position is in the least bit paranoid. Suppose
you knew that out of ten cars on a lot one was rigged up
with a bomb wired to the ignition (and you could not open 
up the hood).... would you drive or walk?

At a rough guess, one woman in 10 has been raped. Please 
reconsider whether you think Ms. Eades is paranoid. I do not
consider her remarks offensive to me, but then I may not be a 
member of the set you defined above.
