I run a laundry business, so I often go to people's houses to pick and deliver clothes. About 2yrs ago, I got a call from a lady who I was referred to. She asked that I come to pick up some clothes.
It was a busy day, so I went to her apartment later in the evening by past 8 PM or something. She answered the door and asked me to come in. The clothes were plenty so I had to count every piece and write her a receipt.
As I was doing so, at intervals this lady would deliberately chip in "My husband is in the bedroom" in our conversation.
I could legit tell that she was uncomfortable about something.
After I was done, I left.
Later on, we eventually did some business together.

Like I sold some products of hers in my shop as an affiliate and so. We really became acquainted and I realized that she wasn't married. One day when we were having a discussion, I politely asked her why she lied about having a husband on the first day we met.
She sighed and said "Ebuka, I have been raped twice in my life and up until now I have developed PTSD over it. I still have flashbacks and nightmares about those horrifying experiences. I won't lie to you, I'm scared of men. Like I now see every man as a potential rapist."
At that point, it dawned on me why she was filled with anxiety when we were alone in her living room by dusk on the day we met.
I know a lot of women also share similar suspicion. Trust me, your reason to be scared is valid.

It's impossible to understand how you feel. I hope you find a way to heal from the emotional trauma. 
Dear men, if you decide to fold your arms and act like the fight against rape doesn't concern you, then you must be mistaken.

We (Me, You, your brothers, your sons) are seen as potential rapists.
This is a taint on our image as men. We can change this narrative by speaking up and joining the fight against rape to create a safe and serene environment for women in our society.
This is everyone's fight!
