Girls, are you scared of being raped, like is it somewhere in the back of your mind?

I’m thinking when you meet new guys most specifically (not when you’re alone or with women or with a man you trust) is it one of your main concern, more or less consciously, to first ‘assess’ if you feel safe and not at risk with the guy? Sometimes I feel like it’s in women’s DNA, we are more or less defense less physically, rapes have occurred since the beginning of times, and we have natural defense mechanisms that allow us to easily feel whether we’re in danger with a particular person.

so for example if you go date a new guy you’ve never met before, are you somewhat scared and do you feel you need to be potentially careful and tell someone for example? What if you go out at night with other girls?

Or are you just completely at ease with all men in all circumstances…?

i think we should all carry some sort of weapon or have some self defense abilities tbh, as they are bad men out there this is a reality of course , but my question is more about the feeling of safety or fear in general.
