Gruesome or not, as a woman in my part of town, you are more likely to be raped and strangled than you are to be shot.

Good to know! I'll skip the bulletproof vest when I come to visit you.
I think what you're saying is probably true in all parts of all towns. I'm not going to look up any more statistics today, but that's the sense I get from news reports and whatnot. Women get shot in mass shootings, or when men go berserk and kill their entire families, but you don't hear of many women shot on the street by strangers (unless as bystanders or, occasionally, in muggings). But they get raped and strangled (or stabbed) by strangers as well as by their spouses and boyfriends.

And then there are also the women--and children--who are just sitting in their living rooms and get shot by stray bullets. :(
