#1 Men who are dangerous have always been around us, and they always will be. We must learn what can and will keep us safe, and know the signs of dangerous men so that we can avoid them or get them out of our lives.

#2 All types of women choose and respond to dangerous men. There are some factors that make it more likely that a woman will respond to and date a dangerous man, but all types of women choose and respond to dangerous men.

#3 We have renamed dangerous men in ways that gloss over their destructive, sometimes criminal behavior. We say, He’s a little rough or He’s had some tough times or He’s a man’s man.
