Numbers for all other crimes of violence are also higher for men.

Men should be more afraid to walk alone outside than women are.

Are the total numbers of assaults for women the combination of the rapes
and aggravated assaults? Or are the rapes a subset of the aggravated assaults?

Don't know. If it's a subset, that makes the "total" even smaller,
so I am assuming that it is not a subset.

What is the survey from which you got those numbers?

Same as before, the "Criminal Victimization" series from the USDOJ
Bureau of Justice Statistics. They got their data from the yearly
National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS).
