The problem is massive. Women get raped in parking lots. Women get raped on the subway. Women get raped by doctors. Women get raped in stairwells. Wherever women exist, we get raped.
Yeah, we all take precautions, but it's impossible to totally protect ourselves from being raped, and moreover we shouldn't need to protect ourselves. We ought to be able to live our lives openly with an expectation of safety.
Men also get raped, which seems like yet more evidence that the problem just might be rapists; rather than, somehow, women not protecting themselves.
Everyone needs to be able and should protect themselves. You're right, we shouldn't have to, but we live in a cruel, hard, world, full of bad people. Take precautions, be smart, don't take unnecessary risks.
