Honestly, I get pissed because there was literally nothing I could do to avoid the two major incidents in my life. The second one was in college. A townie broke into our dorm building one Saturday morning and snuck into the bathroom while I was taking a shower. I was lucky that this guy was "only" a peeping tom and that he was intimidated when I realized he was there and ran away. But other girls on campus got raped in their bathrooms (both by other classmates and by townies who snuck into the building). The shower areas were attached to the bathrooms with no locking doors. It was seven or eight on a Saturday morning and all I wanted to do was wash my hair. And some asshole thought he was entitled to sneak in and peek at me.
So yeah, when I hear the smugness of some guys who have this attitude that if women just follow these "common sense" rules of conduct we'll be safe, I get pissed. If there really was a fool proof tactic to avoid rape, you can be sure that women would've figured it out by now.
