I think you mean, 'women are seen as easy prey.' Because in general we're physically smaller, predators don't see us as a threat, and therefor as easy pickings. I described a ride I want to take to a guy who rides the same bus as I and volunteers at the local bike library. He thought it was a great idea and wants to come along. I'm 90% sure he's fine, but I won't do it because I can't trust him. I find it awful that half the species can't trust the other half of the species not to hurt them so they can feel powerful and manly.
