Has anything bad happened to you when out?

[Nicki B]

The probability that each dice will roll a six does not change. Each dice is just as likely to result in a six.

Statistically that's absolutely true, but only as far as it goes..

So a CD who goes out just once tomorrow has the same risk that one time that one who goes out every single day will have if they go out tomorrow.

But that's where your logic falls down - because the risk cannot be the same every time, unlike the roll of the dice - each situation/encounter is different - it depends on where you go and who you might meet?

I've looked at Battybat's statistics and I agree with her -- the actual danger is far smaller than that!

Personally, I'd very much agree - but I'd have to say my own experience is skewed by where I've been?

The Middle East and Africa would not be the same, nor, I would say, Thailand or India (for opposite reasons)?

Admittedly, if we factor in poor SoSoft's experience the figures are altered, but not by as much as you'd think and the moral is probably not "Don't go out dressed", but "If you're going out, don't choose Africa"

'Africa' covers a massive area and many huge countries - but as a whacking great generalisation, attitudes to women overall there are not good?

It's not a particularly safe place for genetic women, either?

The one advantage we may be able to use is that, when they react to you as a woman, they don't expect you to react with a male's strength? But if you're outnumbered, that's no great help - the best defence is always to run away..
