OK to:

Why should I live in fear? Can anyone give me a clear explanation?

For the same reason that you should lock the door of the house, carefully carry large sums of money, change the locks in a new apartment, and so on.

Men do that too. Sexual abuse by the opposite sex is mostly feared by women. Why don’t you, sweetheart, cross the other side of the road in the evening, seeing the silhouette of a man of the opposite sex, and I cross, and most women cross?
