Yes, rapists are rapists. The police officer’s point is, they are looking for a target. One that catches their eye, and preferably one they think is easy-access.
“.. preferably one they think is easy-access”.
No different than a rapist targeting an older woman IMHO. That is why I teach (will teach the youngest one) to be aware of her surroundings at all times and know how to fight. My daughter has taken Krav Maga... knowing fully well how to incapacitate someone. Incapacitate meaning brutally and not playing around, essentially fighting for your life. I do wish more women would learn self defense if they are in an area where they can’t legally carry firearms. (although I think people should be able to carry firearms everywhere)
