    While I agree that woman and other vulnerable populations have it far harder to have peace and safety from unsavory types I should point out that I don’t think this comic is intentionally trying to play into fear mongering just that it’s close and that people need to recognize the signs of sensationalist media trying to exploit fear and insecurities.

    I’m a little offended at your inclusion of “Threatening men” I hope you mean that it’s men deliberately threatening women as they hit on them not something so shallow as to say that you would include a scary looking man hitting on a woman as sexual assault. I feel that goes too far and is extremely judgemental of appearances sometimes beyond a persons ability to control them.

    As a man this sort of thing is terrible. Public outings shouldn’t be overshadowed by fear of attacks of any kind.

    That said this comic is extremely close to fear mongering and it definitely generalizes the male population.

    Be smart people. But don’t think your negative experiences rule the world.
