Adding to eclipse's post, The Last Psychiatrist penned this article nearly five years ago.

And the take-away quote is below:
In other words, the guys on the RVF forum have many real-life friends. So you know that both you and the majority of your friends would never rape a woman, even if it were legal.
Whereas, the Blue Pill people don't have many real-life friends, (preferring to live in echo chambers), and therefore assume that the majority of men would rape a woman, especially if it were legal. Hence, they can't see Roosh's point about personal female safety, and can only see it as, "Roosh literally wants to let women get raped."

So the issue isn't whether there are pervs who might try to seduce your daughter on a babysitting gig after cheerleading practice; you already assume everyone is thinking it, because if you don't feel any guilt, why would they? What you're left wondering is to what degree external controls-- shame-- are a strong enough disincentive-- word chosen very carefully-- for the other guy. And the answer you're going to come up with is: if there's a way they can get away with it, not very strong.
Societal narcissism has put us in a bit of a bind.
*** We don't believe that guilt will will control a person's behavior, because we don't feel any guilt in
ourselves.
*** We are very aware of the gigantic numbers of people that have easy access to us, but they are mostly
supporting cast in our movie that we know nothing about because we do not really want to know
anything about them, so we assume they're like us-- unable to feel guilt.
*** If you consider yourself ethically/morally above average-- despite the porn, cheating, self-serving
lying, then it is entirely logical to assume most people you see in the street are cannibals.
*** And the external controls you place on your kids and on strangers as protection end up being
reminders that you haven't done an adequate job of preparing your child for life.
This is the result: you hover more, trust less, live with an unrelenting low level anxiety, and masturbate a lot.
