I was wondering where you got your facts from, so I went here
http://www.canadianwomen.org/facts-about-violence
Quote:
Half of all women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 16.
67% of all Canadians say they personally know at least one woman who has been sexually or physically assaulted

Also another stat I found interesting.

According to police, men (49%) and women (51%) in Canada are equally at risk of violent victimization. However, men are much more likely to be assaulted by a stranger or someone from outside their family, while women are much more likely to be assaulted by someone they know

I guess the question is what % of assaults on women are by someone they know. If that percentage is large then that would put a damper on the "safe place" arguement.
Also how come rubecube, wittynickname, photon didn't comment on the women only hair salon posted a while back?
