Violet;

I think you have hit the proverbial nail on the head. In society Men are generally predator and women prey ( I shudder at some of the things that have been written in the news about how women fall victim to men, Today's Lyft story actually made me cry )

I've lived and worked in and around Baltimore for many years and the city can certainly be a hostile to single women. Be safe when you are out and about. Don't get me wrong I do love Baltimore it does have its charms.
