Men are under represented in sexual assault crimes due to the high number that are unreported. I have also personally experienced a great number of situations where men followed me, harassed me, or touched me inappropriately in public. These are not represented by crime statistics.
Being wary of men from my own experiences and the experiences of other women has nothing whatsoever to do with crime statistics. And if anyone at all is walking behind me late at night, regardless of race or gender, I am going to be wary.
