"Stereotype, n. - A set of inaccurate, simplistic generalizations about a group that allows others to categorize them and treat them accordingly." So you're saying that seeing men as possible rapists is NOT stereotyping them? Men are feared because, as you say, most rapists are men. Therefore, fearing men has become a survival mechanism. And as I said, black men are feared because most violent crimes are committed by black men. Therefore, fearing black men has become a survival mechanism, right?
