I only clench my purse or lock my doors when I feel threatened. If I am walking down the street and a guy gives me a threatening look or looks to be threatening, I will protect myself. Another way to respond to the question would be: According to statictics, 60 percent of the males in jail or prison are black males. I guess most women feel threatened by black males, who also tend to be much bigger and stronger than white males. Maybe it is only size that matters and not race?
