15. Of course - most people are peaceful - men and women. The thing is, of the few

people who are violent... the majority of them are men. And I hate to say it, but a majority of that tiny minority tend to be violent with people they knew rather than strangers.

Otherwise things like male taxi drivers, male delivery drivers, male home inspectors/repairmen, etc would all be a grave danger to people (especially women).

It's sexist to say a woman cannot be as dangerous as a man. It isn't sexist to say the majority of violent crime is committed by men.

As for whether the service is ok or not, I don't hold strong feelings one way or the other.
