Again, I find this quite shocking, and also offensive.

I believe it's possible for a woman to be single and to respect herself (and also, incidentally, to expect others -- especially other women -- to respect her too).

If a single woman goes out by herself, without a husband or without a male chaperone that does not mean she has no self-respect, or that men are entitled to behave disrespectfully towards her.

With that kind of attitude, when even our married 'sisters' view single women as being not respectable, then no wonder the men have such skewed attitudes.

Instead of accepting such neanderthal attitudes, and blaming the single women for the men's lack of self-restraint, if you challenged that, instead of agreeing with it, then maybe one day things might become safer for all women, married and single.
