I can’t speak to its actual prevalence, it’s clearly perceived by a large enough number of people to affect these stats. Where this paranoia ultimately comes from we can only guess
Fortunately they are cheap and easy to use correctly (and nearly impossible to use wrong), as such they are all over. If you are in a public place I’d be surprised if you didn’t have ready access to a defibrillator in the US, though you may not realize where it is.
You would think so, right? But the reality is that men are always assumed to have the worst intentions. Especially in hindsight. i.e. “he didn’t need to do that right? he must be trying to cop a feel”.
Same reason men aren’t usually kindergarten teachers, because they’re immediately assumed to be pedos.
Even though you’re joking I wouldn’t be surprised if someone did react like that. “Uhhmmmm, that’s no CPR, you’re just fondling her! I know because I went to CPR training.”
I’m not CPR certified or anything, but I think if you’re just grabbing titties you’re probably doing it wrong.
Mobs unfortunately don’t react much better if you palm a woman’s sternum
Can you post any example of a mob attacking someone for performing CPR on a woman?
Seems like a pretty wild assumtion that you will be attacked for helping someone in a life threathening state by some nebulous “them.”

You’ve NEVER seen someone mis-perceive help as harm?
Not CPR, no.
Nope, not once.
No. every case I’ve heard of is after the emergency was over someone gets the law involved. Harassment, but never a mob involved.
For sure! But I didn’t say you WERE grabbing titties, just that you’re perceived to be.
I mean just getting the electrodes on for a defibrillator you have to lift their shirt…
Can you see that being perceived poorly?
Unlikely that someone holding a defibrillator next to someone passed out on the ground is going to be perceived poorly.
Unfortunately in a panic scenario like that, sometimes people don’t see things as clearly as they might normally.
And people aren’t great on a normal day either.
Not everyone is going to have access to a defibrillator.

You also need to make sure their bra doesn’t have an underwire and remove it if there is.
