*nods* The good guys out there often don't realize how threatening they may appear in certain situations, because they know they would never in a million years hurt a woman - but that doesn't mean she's not looking warily at them when it's night and they're the only two around. A lot of the stories in that post were about guys who went up to women who were getting off the bus and said, "I'm going down X street. If that's the way you're going, stay here so I can get a bit ahead of you so you don't have to wonder why I'm lurking behind you." That kind of story showed extra sensitivity, and we need that sometimes.
