And even then, it's not just sex attacks we fear. It's violence, being killed, being pestered, being leered at...
There was a channel 4 doc recently where an undercover journalist was pretending to be drunk and passed out in Ibiza. It didn't take long for two men to walk by and discuss what they'd do to her thinking she couldn't hear. The journalist was so scared even with a camera crew nearby that she acted like she regained herself and walked away.
Let's put that into perspective. How many of us would be walking down the street with a friend on a night out and suddenly decide to harm another person? If I turned to a friend and said 'let's slap that guy' they'd be like 'no wtf is wrong with you?'.
It's terrifying how easy it is for some men to switch from being a law abiding citizen to a criminal all because of sex.
