Have any of you women encountered posts that basically tell us to get over our "fear" of being attacked in certain situations, like it's all in our imaginations?

I subscribe to a couple of camping pages, and one gal posted that we women need to get over our groundless fear of camping alone….WTH? You all know my stories of being attacked. How the hell does she figure those fears are “groundless”? They may not apply so much any more, but when I was young and hot, no way in hell would I go camping alone!

It also upsets me because there are someone women who are easily manipulated and they’ll just do it to rise to the bait..and they could get in trouble.

Each to their own. There were lots of women who do camp alone, but always in a populated camp ground. But I don’t think any one else has the right to label my concerns and fears “groundless,” especially when they’re based on experience.

Has any one else experienced this, and what are your thoughts?
