    I was mugged in the playground of my building, the street across fine my house, my lobby, and at 57th and suttton, all in Manhattan. Then a few more times when I lived in Baltimore. I really hope most women don’t get raped that often.

      I hope you’ve started scanning the dark periphery like we do. Not because you deserved anything that happened to you! And I’m not assuming you weren’t already. But because I can’t do anything to protect you from over here on the Internet and I don’t want that to happen to you anymore. It’s when we’re near home that we tend to let our guard down.

        Thank you. I’ve taken a much more holistic approach. It’s worked very well. Haven’t been mugged in decades.

          Can you mention some of the changes you’ve made? Maybe it would help someone who might read this comment chain.
