I wouldn't let the derailment of this thread affect your thoughts on meeting women. They have the right to be concerned about the potential dangers out there, according to the stats it's a very real issue. There are bad men (and women) out there, it doesn't mean you're one
I'm not educated enough on male and female abuse/assault to really add anything helpful so I'm going to slowly back away and go back to reading I think

I was trying to exaggerate the topic in light of the misogyny debate, but thanks for the clarification.
I personally am not comfortable approaching strangers in public, and women even more so. I don't even know what it is, it may be the few really bad experiences I've had where I just happen to run into someone having a really bad day. Wrong place wrong time I suppose.
I was even kicked in the pelvic area once in a crowded bar. I'm pretty sure it wasn't intentional but incidents like this leave scars and lasting impressions.
I'd much prefer to meet women the "normal" way by meeting them at a social function or event rather than approaching that girl you see in Costco.
