I don’t read it that way. It’s more like you must admit the unfortunate truth that there are monsters all around us. I don’t perceive that threat myself because it doesn’t happen to me, but I hear a pretty genuine and consistent message from women, both trans and cis.
That seems a lot easier to accept. And I think the point is that if you can’t accept even that much, that raises questions about your motives and/or awareness.
It’s kind of an anti generalization stance. It’s the position against the generalization that women overreact and don’t have anything to fear from random men.
