And if the idea is that this anecdote illustrates any of those points any more successfully than a woman simply saying "I live a life of eternal vigilance about the security of my life and sexuality and you don't," she is again wrong. A guy that needs an outlier anecdote to understand that is too clueless to waste time on anyway.
