I'm a little confused by that. Because I do have an ingrained habit of thinking that says "all men are (potentially) dangerous," but "so [all women should] stay away from them" only follows a little and "if you get hurt it's your own fault" doesn't follow at all. What is says to me is that I should make an evaluation of each situation based on a whole lot of circumstances, before deciding whether I'm comfortable walking home alone or being alone in a room with someone. It definitely doesn't mean "rape is normal" as described by [livejournal.com profile] lilairen above. It definitely doesn't mean that anyone other than the rapist is to blame.

Is there a better way for me to say what I mean? Or am I missing something inherently problematic in my thinking process?
