psst....rape and domestic violence!

I'm not so sure that there is a debate except for whether or not there is a reason for programs designed to help women to be and feel safer.

I think that we all agree that men are more likely to be mugged.

That is it.

Next time I get mugged I am going to scream like a little girl and try to turn that stereotype around!

Men are indeed far more likely to be victims of violent crime than women:
