Every woman you know has taken a longer route.

Fortunately, on the stranger attack side of things, your experience isn't typical for women.

Objectively speaking, men have more to worry about when out and about in the world, albeit that any violent attack is less likely to have a sexual component. Men, however, don't stress so much about personal safety... well, except perhaps for all of the gun-humpers, and I don't know if they're so much worried for their own safety rather than fantasizing about getting an excuse to shoot someone.

So, are women is general worrying too much, relative to actual risk, or are men worrying too little?
