Something has to change and the people who are the most in control in changing that are... Men. Because of this I consider myself a feminist and try to be acutely aware of the sorts of environments or catalysts that might cultivate a person to head in that direction.

But no, feminsim just means women being on equal footing to men, in all facets of everyday life.
At the moment, that isn't the case. Hence, I am a feminist.

So why don't you just promote equality instead of feminism?

So you think a females insecurity to walk down a street is created/fueled by personal experience, or the conception formed from years of being told that men are predators?
And then somehow by further promoting/marketing/"raising awareness" of female victims, and highlighting males as predators (as opposed to the issue as a whole) e.g. domestic violence, these insecurities are going to be lifted and future generations of females will walk the streets with confidence?
I'm lost lol

The difference is when the problem is systemic, entrenched and on a large scale. Which violence against women is.
99% of the time you'd feel safe waiting for a Taxi on Hindley Street at 11pm. A woman wouldn't.
Women are still judged for things men aren't.
They still get paid less - yes, there is a gap, contrary to many a wannabe mathematicians attempts at justifications.
Their work is both largely unrecognised and expected all at once.
They take the vast majority of the domestic workload - mentally and physically.
It's come a long way and it is close, don't get me wrong, I'd rather be a Woman living in a Western Country than a bloke living in Iraq, but still, until it's truly equal, I'll continue to consider myself a feminist.
