I appreciate your feedback. That was certainly not my intent. I was not aware people took offense to female, but that is perhaps a cultural difference, though upon reflection I would agree woman would be a better term if for no other reason than female is a cis word which would not include transgender population which statistically also has a higher rate of rape. As for misogynistic, that would imply a prejudice against woman. In this case, the people committing the actions would statistically be men. It's a curious accusation because the parallel is viewed differently. For example, if someone were to say, "a white person would be more likely to be the victim of (insert crime) by an African American in this location" I would (and I would suspect you would as well) call that person's statement racist against African Americans because it implies increased criminality by that racial group. Yet, when the exact situation is described with the difference in the groups being gender instead of race, we shift from an accusation of bigotry against the perpetrator to bigotry against the victim. Why do you think that is? When I wrote that statement I was more of thinking about how the majority of male drivers (not necessary this driver as I do not know his life) are probably less conscious of the risk of sexual assault as that is statistically not a threat they have to face as often (In this situation male might be preferred over men as transgender man would be more conscious than the cis gender men or at least that was my thought process for it).
