interesting twist..

"Almost 80% of rapes are "acquaintance rapes," or sexual acts forced upon women by someone they know. Partner/husband rapes are the most common, and according to a 2000 British Crime Survey, strangers were responsible for a mere 8% of the rape victims surveyed." -- Londonist

So for those girls who i've talked to who are somewhat paranoid about walking through dark, dangerous alleys or parks in the dead of night, it's statisically safer to go it alone.

(yes i konw the flaws in the argument but its statisically true that you are 10 times more likely to be raped by someone you know...in london anyway...)
