It is scary for anyone to walk around at night, as a man who has been robbed at gunpoint. Obviously women have worries like rape that’s more common. I think men are generally less hesitant to be violent towards other men.
Comment on women

Yup, I implied rape. Men usually do not worry about getting raped while going home late

I question whether that fear is based on something real or just the idea that it would happen. That same idea that makes the law harsher against men committing crimes than women.

I mean, I don’t believe it’s typically the law that makes things harsher, it’s gender bias in juries.

I guess that depends on how your laws and courts function. Other countries don’t have juries like America does.

Oh, so women do not get raped?
