of upper body strength) and that I can't fight back effectively without a weapon or training in self-defense.

I also learned that someone can appear to be trustworthy and to be a good person, and underneath, they can have evil intent.

I think there must be some way of warning young women of the potential dangers out there (and young men, too, they get robbed and raped and everything else too sometimes) without saying, "it's your fault if you get harmed." It's a pretty touchy subject though, especially since women have traditionally been blamed for their own victimization, and still are blamed for that in some parts of the world.
