i am glad you were able to realize what was happening. and yes. it happens to a guy.

my boys and hubby and i talking about rape. and women, in certain situations are aware, and can be fearful. what a man should do so the woman is not fearful in these situations.

i was explaining how for a woman all men are potential rapists and why that statement is true. dont take personally. cause VAST MAJORITY of men do not rape. just a woman doesnt know the who, that does.

my son was so surprised. he says, you go out and think about rape, when you are in public? a cncept he had never considered. told him, yes, in situations, of course.

just to show son the difference, i said to hubby... have you ever been fearful of rape. i was expecting a no.

he said yes. once.

that was an eye opener for me.

later he told me at the university he was drunk, probably wasted. he got separated by his group, and ended up with two guys. some how got back to their dorm. at a point got really uncomfortable and literally ran.... trust you instincts.

but.... it is not only girls.
