I am all for women's right and equality and punishing those that abuse women. But I don't agree with your statement.

"If you think women should be always under the guidance of a man then probably you are thinking like a rapist. "

Everything is dependent on situation. You cannot accuse someone of thinking like a rapist for being protective. If you think that, then I am sorry but you are no better than those stereotypical people who stereotype all women.

If you have a sister or daughter then you have a right to be protective of them whether you are a brother, a mother, a father or a sister. If there is cases of rape and murder of women in your society then, as a well wisher or guardian, you have to be afraid of these things happening to your loved ones. Thinking for your near and dear one's safety in dangerous neighborhoods or societies is not the same as thinking like rapist. That is a very naive statement to make.

Ideally you would rather see them spread their wings and fly but would you rather claim hifi standards, and be okay with them going to dangerous areas by themselves because you believe in equality and all that, then hear the worst possible news? I did not think so.

If the legal system was good as in most part of the US, then there is lesser of a fear of such heineous behavior. But if you live in a place like India / Nepal with inexisting legal system then it's better to be safe than sorry.
