RedRum, I think you are looking at this ifrom the wrong perspective.
I do agree with you about robbing being more common than rape or abuse, but it doesn't changet the fact that
if a woman is going to be assulted (be it beaten, molested, raped, whatever) then it is more likely to happen by someone she knows and trusts.
As far as statistics - I already said I don't put much stock in them, but these are things I accept as truth through experience. At 20 years old and I can count the women I personally know who have been assulted in one way or another and know that it is a very high percentage.
I don't think it is fair to say I hang out with the wrong sort of people either. Most of them are just normal girls who have been in bad situations. Here is the scary part: out of all the women I know who have been assulted - only 1of them reported it.
and you know what - I didn't report it when I was assulted either. I kept the guy (who I did know preivously) from hurting me and left it at that.
