I hope you don't take this unkindly, but instead of trying to speak for women about their daily experiences, perhaps you might try listening with a bit more receptivity instead? Validating what someone is telling you is causing them pain or stress is a core communications skill, and always a good thing to practice first before attempting to challenge.

I also suggest doing a little research to validate your own assumptions. There are in fact studies that show half of women have a measurable fear of sexual assault or physical attack (here is one: https://farahandfarah.com/studies/sexes-sense-of-safety/).

Thank you for considering my response.
