I think the amount of fear generated by the media is way overbalanced. It's true that 1 out of 3 women will suffer some kind of sexual assault during her lifetime, but here in America its not the kind of thing that happens all the time. Remember that those grusome, fearful reports are diluted out by the fact that there are 150 million women living in this country. It is right to be wary, but I sometimes feel like the media wants to keep us scared because stressed out citizens stick to their tv sets and stay indoors and don't make so much of a fuss when their rights are violated. There are certainly ignorant, heartless guys to go around, but there are plenty of good ones, too, and I've run into a fair number of basically honorable folk in the SCA.
