Women are much more likely to be raped than men, statically. However men are much more likely to be attacked in general -mugging, beating etc. So technically speaking, although you are unlikely to be raped, you are way more likely to be attacked overall as a man walking down a dark alley at night. So really we should be more worried about men walking around on their own at night, if we're worried about the crime stats.
At least that's true where I'm from. Maybe stats differ for America.
What is it like being a woman?
