Does HN just not pay attention? Women get hit on, talked up, harassed, pretty much every place they go. Men seem to think it is their right to do this. So, yeah, women want to feel safe.
"People who harass certain types of people will harass those people" just doesn't convey much information, so it's not worth saying. Any thoughts on how to best phrase this pattern?
If approximately half of the population is at all afraid to exist in public, then maybe your feelings getting hurt about sweeping statements is a little less important in the grand scheme of things.
