I was unclear it seems. The thought is terrifying, at least to me. I don't run around flinching at shadows, but I do tend to be real careful in some situations. It is unfortunate that sociey at large does not believe that "No" actually means "No".
Although it never happened to me (yet), I do know up-close and personal what rape can do to a woman. It's heart-breaking, to say the least. The poor elf lying on the floor in a fetal position and crying actually made me cringe, and I had to walk away from the computer for a while.
That's quite enough. More would be utterly cruel.
Hopefully for me, I've never had any relative family or friend being raped (unless they hided it).
However when I was younger one of my classmate came to us (friend group) a morning to tell us she was caught by a threatening guy who touched her where he shouldnt, while she was on the way to school. Fortunatly that did not go further, but still she needed sometimes to recover from the fear.
When I was just a baby my mother who was going back home walking with me in the babycart thingie, was victim of a rape attempt. But once her pants was done, the raper lost motivation when he noticed it was not the "good period of the month" for my mother. My mother laughs about that last point, so I guess I can find it funny too
She said she was mostly worrying about me during the aggression.
However my mother never told my father, because she knew he would have been mad and hunting the guy to death enventuallyy, and did not want my father to worry everyday about it. And she only told me this story when I was an adult.
But I agree with what you say, paranoia is counterproductive, but being carefull does not hurt and can prevent landing in bad situation.
