Rape Alley


Out with the pooches, I caught sight of 'helpful' graffiti cautioning women about a Rape Alley located on the Westside of Toronto. It's not even an alley since it extends at least twenty feet wide with a city parkette on one side.
What kind of warning is this exactly?
Am I to believe the tagger has only women's safety in mind, that the person with the spray paint remains unaware that women make a dozen decisions each day in order to avoid this threat?
I'd like to see a sign that says Rapists Beware for a change.
