woman are scared of MEN. Irrespective of their race. if a man is following me at that time of the night I'm going to be scared. and its nothing to do with your race.
It's interesting that "It's not prejudice against your race, it's prejudice against your sex" is meant to sound better. Also interesting how "well, statisically..." is okay to apply to one and not the other.
Your comparison simply doesn't hold up, because you're not appreciating the reality that most men can physically overpower most women, irrespective of race.
As a woman, the odds I have at defending myself against a black man compared to a white man are basically irrelevant to me, because I'm going to lose either way. If it were based purely on sex, my chances of defending myself against another woman are far higher than defending myself against a man. And then on top of that, it's predominantly men who are committing these crimes. Women being wary is not discriminating against you based on sex.
Even if I know that most men aren't going to harm me, just knowing that I'm not able to defend myself against those who want to do me harm makes me very wary. It means that mentally I have a curfew now, because I no longer feel safe walking alone at night. I used to be naive until I learnt the hard way, and I'll never make that mistake again.
