In the States, someone is killed in a car accident on average every 12.5 minutes, while a female is raped on average every 2.5 minutes. Even when factoring in that, one, I am generously including all vehicle-related accidents and not just those involving pedestrians, and, two, that the vast majority of rapes still go unreported because the victim is well aware that she will be blamed for the crime, I think my logic in this case speaks for itself. And, thus, this is now the way I live my life: out in the open, in the middle of everything, because the middle of the street is actually the safest place to walk.
