People trending #NotAllMen are the ones who are a part of the problem themselves and are afraid they might get exposed.

It's not, at all. And if I came across you in the street, I would never randomly accuse you of being either, and I'd hope no other woman would too. But if I'm in a situation where I'm completely alone and you're suddenly there, I'm gambling with my safety if I don't assess you as a potential threat.

I'm fully aware that statistically the actual likelihood of you wanting to cause me harm is really low, but like most women, I've come across men who are from that minority who have tried to harm me in someway, so I know the danger does exist and my fear is very real. Women can't afford to play the odds when their safety is literally on the line, there just not low enough.
