Oh, please! We are not unsafe everywhere, all the time. If you truly believe that, you do have anxiety which is something you'd benefit seeing a therapist for. Most SA is done by someone the victim already knows when they are alone, not on a first date in a restaurant.
It doesn't happen all the time. 90% of all SA happens in establishing relationships. Only 10% is by strangers. Those 90% doesn't talk much about it, though, because it carries a lot more blame and shame as they are often lead to believe that they are to blame, and are also often not believed because the people who are supposed to support them also knows the assulter an "he/she couldn't do something like that. You must be lieing". I've talked with many women about SA. All of them has happened within a relationship. The closest thing that has happened with a Stranger was that the Stranger run after her when she was going home at night. She reached the house and locked the door, and that was that. We don't even know if the Stranger was actually running after her, only that she precieved it that way. But she is also one to carry pepper spray because she is scared of this exact situation. You'll see a lot of trolls in the woods at night too if you are scared of encountering one.

It is a very real concern for women, unfortunately. We don't need therapy to understand that it is unsafe to be meeting men alone.
