    I mean, there are plenty of studies and experiences that genuinely show women have not just a greater concern for their safety, especially at night, but are far more likely to be assaulted than men.

      We just had somebody else in the thread show studies for how men are mugged more frequently than women. However I wouldn’t be surprised if women are threatened cat called and assaulted more often, and are looking out for more than just violent criminals.

      The only violent crimes that women are more likely to be victims of are sexual ones. Any nonsexual violent crime is more likely to have a male victim. Is this because women are more cautious? Maybe!
