Well I imagine that men get killed more in general. The dude might have a point there. It’s just speculation with no fact the way he wrote it.
But if he is right it would make more sense to get some stats on how many men vs women get attacked, stalked, followed, cat called, etc going about their business at night. My imagination is that those numbers are very different and that they - together with the fact that most women are way weaker than most men - would have a reason to be more afraid.

2022: Deaths by Accidents (unintentional injuries): 227,039 source
Deaths by murder: 21,781 source
While I didn’t find 2022 numbers for the male to female ratio, in 2023 it was 13,789 to 3,849… source
If you’re uninformed maybe hold back with accusations.

Sure, men are getting killed. But they are not getting killed because of their gender, while women on the other hand are often killed exactly because they are women.

So, a woman going out alone in the dark is always at risk of being raped, killed or violated in other ways.
