You know the worst part about that?
It does actually make women more vulnerable to the type of crime they are the main victims of.
Remember the whole "my husband is a cop so he can't relax when we eat out, but at least we're surviving dinner" trend? It obviously speaks to. A very insulated and individualistic view of society that is deeply USAian, but it also plays into this.
Being scared of every man, trans woman, person of color, migrants and homeless people is the first step of needing a "strong powerful protective man" to defend you from this dangerous world. And guess what kind of man looks for women like that? Cops, misogynists, traditionalists: all characteristics that make it easy to become domestic abusers.
Be scared of the black man across the street, and the lady in your public toilet, and that man trying to survive in the heat by being shirtless near his tent. Be scared and run into the arms of someone that will beat you to death when his football team loses.
