Jack… I’m going to be blunt with you. This sounds insane. This sounds like paranoia on the level of those conspiracy theorists who think NASA is spying on them through their webcam.

(Although, for the record, not walking down a sketchy street on your way to your destination is just common sense.)

It sucks — it really sucks — that some women feel this way, in the same way that it sucks that some people think that the government is constantly watching them. I feel true sorrow for those people, because the world that they think they live in must be terrifying. But it’s not reality. And it’s not Everyone Else’s responsibility to quell those irrational fears. I hope that the women who do spend every day in fear of their safety can find peace.

But I can tell you this, and I hope you take some comfort in it. Most women do not feel this way.
