18% of heterosexual single women ages 25 to 34 feel unsafe most days vs 4 percent of married women. The solution is not for all women to go find a husband to protect them. It is to create a society where no woman, single or married, has to feel unsafe.

The marriage incentive no one talks about

Economics may no longer be an incentive to marry, but feeling secure is.

I wish I had known as a boy and young man how unsafe women felt.

I hope young men these days are better informed

Me too. I learn that I may have only understood 10% of what it is like.
