Also sharks are awesome, they are older than trees, have important ecological roles and most sharks won’t attack any humans. Some even can befriend you, like a toothy puppy.
The ones that do, tend to do it for curiosity and dislike us because were boney and hurts their teef, it is not their fault that we have the bad habit of bleeding out when we’re in the sea.
As analogies go, this is a bad one:
You can easily learn which sharks are dangerous.
You will be warned when you go swimming in a dangerous area.
You can even take precautions that reduce substantially that danger.
I don’t think it is as easy understanding when someone might hurt you, and it is not like you can choose to have your date be in the water while you chat them up from a boat.
Shark attacks are also extremely rare. Dogs would be a better comparison, in that they can be extremely dangerous but most of them are not which is why we keep them around.
Dogs are definitely better than sharks but still bad. Every women I’ve ever spoken to about it has a scary story about an interaction with a man. I’ve never yet met a woman who says actually, nothing scary has ever happened to me. I’ve been very lucky and I still have a handful of stories. I can count on one hand the number of stories of people I personally know about dogs attacking or even just really biting.
Actually, it sounds to be like sharks might be a pretty good analogy for dealing with the opposite sex
Know the warning signs of dangerous predators
Be aware of areas which may be at higher risk of running into said predators
Know what steps may reduce your likelihood of being attacked, and how to defend yourself
Neither is going to make life 100% risk free, but the appropriate knowledge and steps CAN help reduce risks. It probably also helps to know the difference between the dorsal fin of a shark and a dolphin.
Your analogy is wrong at this point. It’s the same as “She had it coming, she had on a tight skirt!” and “If you don’t want to be raped just stay at home all the time”. Bad logic and victim blaming.

Also, sexual trauma hits different. It just does.
