But that won't protect you from rape when you live alone in your old age. It happens.
Or if you live in a care home and have mental and/ or physical disabilities. It happens.

Yes of course there are things you can do to keep yourself safe, and as a young, attractive woman of course you do.
But criminal rape is a power issue, not fuelled by immediate lust.
Saggy tits and cellulite (not referring to you!) would not be a turn-off to a rpaist.
Being in control and forcing penetration is what he wants.

And that's why it's such a contentious issue, because you can be forcibly subjected to penetration. Rape.
Because you agree to bunk up with a male friend, because you agree to leave the pub with your ex, because you have a short skirt on.

The other end of the spectrum is to assume men have no control over their sexual urges and wear a burka.
