You not fearing comes back to the strength factor really.
You have self-defense education as well as are carrying a weapon with you, hence, you are confident that you would be able to overpower the offender.
And while he does sound bitter, he is sadly correct for the most part.
For some strange reason, rape became a magical word that causes constitution to stop applying for the accused.

No, it's probably just blissful ignorance you live in.
"Nearly 1 in 5 women (18.3%) and 1 in 71 men (1.4%) in the United States have been raped at some time in their lives, including completed forced penetration, attempted forced penetration, or alcohol/drug facilitated completed penetration."

Stranger Danger!
Some people are taught that anyone could be a possible rapist and its true
Your opinions on objective reality carries very little weight when it comes to determining what the truth actually is. I'll take the police forces and prosecution's statistics on false accusations over a random, baseless claim on the internet any day.
In other words, based on your imagination when you judged a girl for something to which you have no first hand knowledge of.From personal experience
That we can agree with.It is a sad sad world we live in.
So it is hearsay. Presenting that as fact is misleading.
That is exactly what I wrote. There appears to be no solid evidence.
As I never wrote that they are false accusations your argument is flawed. I wrote that those may plausibly be false accusations, thus treating them as definitive positive accusations is misleading. In addition, please link to the studies you are referring to. Not that I question the validity of those 2%, it is just that citing studies without giving the source does not prove anything.
This is exactly what I wrote. The majority of those cases is debatable (as in, the whole "not reported" and "reported but not prosecuted" sections). The graphical analysis presents them as definitive and absolute, though. Thus it is misleading by default, thus it is no valid proof for the point you are trying to make. This basically makes it a strawman on itself.
"More than half (51.1%) of female victims of rape reported being raped by an intimate partner and 40.8% by an acquaintance"
Oh, that might explain something.
I'm not sure that this threat really exists where I live. There are places one should avoid, specially at night. But not as much people I think. On the other hand, it's never wrong to be a little cautious
Listening to the opinions and views of some of the men in this topic makes me ashamed to be a man.
