Statistically speaking, women are almost never physically attacked by strangers, it is almost always someone they know.

Men are attacked by strangers at a much much higher rate than women are.




I would also say woman fear strangers much more than somebody they know.

Maybe what’s the reason they can avoid getting physically attacked by strangers better than men.


I'm not sure what your point is to be honest, are you saying women are safe in that area at that time of night because of global statistics?


"I didn't feel that threatened, but I can only imagine how X group would feel" doesn't make much sense if X group is actually at a lower risk.

I don't know if they're right at all, but the point seems pretty clear. And they're not saying anyone is safe.
