Yeah. Apparently, men are immune from danger at night. Right right. /s

Last year, I personally had to "escort back" to french girls who were alone at 4:00 AM drunk. In a bad part of a tourist city. Sometimes on vacation, go for a run, especially if I'm near a beach ( I can't enjoy it most of the year while working ) I had to stop and help them, to the nearest 7 eleven...to get them water, some isotonic solution, wipes ( one of them had vomit on her hair, clothes ) ask for an Uber.... and all of these, sadly I do it recording everything, just in case...🤷‍♂️ Just because as a human being ( and a man ) I don't want nothing bad to happen to other people. Especially when I'm witnessing a possible, bad outcome scenario with my own eyes. Some people just simply don't have any common sense, I wouldn't do it, even being a man.

All this shows is women have shite threat detection...

MisterBowTies · 2026-03-27T13:15:28+00:00

They don't care who gets hurt more at night (men get robbed more and are the target of more violent crimes) they care who they say "feels" more unsafe. And they put crimes that affect women more, like rape and sexual assault, as significantly worse than other violent crimes.

First of all there's no way i'm going out to places i don't feel safe.

Perfect_Sir4820 · 2026-03-27T11:42:24+00:00

Apparently the women are afraid of attackers jumping out of the trees on them.

It is less about actual danger than perceived danger. The study had 571 participants and the abstract begins with the following.

Fear of crime can influence our view of and experience with the world around us. This can be problematic for individuals seeking physical activity, including from walk commuting. Prior work shows fear is especially evident among women, who report fear of rape and sexual abuse by men as a primary concern.

Do the results align with assault data? If not are unrealistic fears fuelled by media and news or is it more innate? Maybe the women are much smarter and the men are overconfident in their ability to withstand an attack.

New-Distribution6033 · 2026-03-27T15:53:55+00:00

But, but, but it's men causing the danger!

To which I remind them that that's the same logic my racist aunt uses as to why we shouldn't care about black on black crime.

Next time there’s a huge snowstorm or flood let them deal with it on their own. They can ask the bear to come help them out.

There is no greater challenge than talking to a woman who posts things like this about possibly buying a gun.

The study does not support "Men see paths, women scan for danger". It only supports that women scan more while men focus more. That's it. Everything else is just researches projecting themselves on to the data and choosing to serve an agenda.

In reality, crime statistics and actual data are very clear: It's far more dangerous to walk alone at night as a man than a woman. Full stop.

Here is another well understood psychological fact: Women report higher levels of fear of crime than men, despite men's actual victimization rates being far higher most offenses. Women have both higher levels of both perceived risk of specific crimes and also generalized fear of crime. Hypervigilance doesn't justify itself. Just because you feel it doesn't mean it's real. In this case, it's not.

Of course, in our society instead of educating women about their psychological biases so they can live better and more free lives, we propagandize them with hate and fear narratives - turning the dial up to eleven on their inherent fear and anxiety. People who are afraid are easier to control, and people easier to control can be used to serve agendas.

As usual men are made the scape goat.

Comedyislandd · 2026-03-27T16:24:03+00:00

Granted, CPTED studies do show that perceptions of public spaces do differ, with women being more apprehensive and perceive danger higher. But crime statistics reveal rather plainly that men themselves are more likely to be victims of violent crime. So its a bit of a funny conundrum, (as far as i understand).

daymitjim · 2026-03-27T17:46:55+00:00

I have an idea, let's walk in high heels, alone, at night, in inebriated condition towards ominous terrain, and make sure we don't have our phones at the ready, no assault alarm, no pepper spray, while making sure no one knows where we are.

The world will provide our safety, nothing can go wrong.
I love excitement.

/s

I run alone at night,- and i'm pretty scared but know i can outrun most people and be big enough of a problem for most sane people to not want to attack me.
But i have been assaulted a number of times, but mostly when there's drunk people around.
This is a risk men learn to live with and calculate.
Most women aren't violently assaulted on the sidewalk if they walk or stand alone,- that's a risk that is way higher for men, and is something men adjust to.
Women literally just have to avoid walking alone at night,- that's literally it.
Most men shouldn't either, but men are expected to calculate their own risk and are told they're stupid for putting themselves at risk.
This simple part of adult life is somehow missing from the female experience, and personally,- i find it incredibly frustrating.

I've given assault alarms to several of the women in my life, friends and family,- and NOT ONE of them have kept those around.
You just can't help people that childishly refuse to take responsibility for their own safety,- there's only so much we can do for them.
I think all we can do is continue to say "be mindful".
Ultimately "men", will be blamed. And that is the case with all things.
It's sad and frustrating.

Btw, if this gaze measurement test was done on me, it'd show me frantically scanning for risk, even when walking with other people at daytime,- i don't ever feel safe.
People that don't take precaution are people that haven't been attacked.
Also,- measuring eye movement like this isn't necessarily a good representative of effectively scanning your surroundings,- you don't look more than you have to. Women are more neurotic than men, and in certain situations this would surely become noticeable.
Women are right to feel nervous walking alone, should be more afraid, and would be evolutionarily unfit if that wasn't reflected in their behavior.
It only takes one predator, and my impression is that as in most crimes, there's a small minority of offenders that offend repeatedly.

IMO, men experience more violence and assaults,- and women, if they make stupid decisions make themselves visible to the minority of very effective predators out there,- but if they are around people they are on average way safer than men are.

I recently saw on one of the running subs; a lady that lived in a rural area, that ran at night, but asked for advice regarding safety.
I'm really happy for women that live in places where it's less risky to do things like that,- it's great.
But the world isn't safe and you have to adjust to your environment,- and even then there's still always a chance something bad might happen.
I think many women can, if they get fit and fast and know the terrain, can take more chances,- but at the end of the day you have to calculate your own risk and take precaution,- no one is exempt from that.
The world is scary and risky,- get used to it.

Oh, btw; i see now that this experiment was set in a campus setting.
That is pretty much rape central,- which is a specific setting where i think men on average would feel not as threatened. Women (and men) should be afraid in high risk areas,- and gender segregation wouldn't necessarily help in this setting either. Henhouses attract foxes, and it only takes one.
Predators are systematic in their approach and will be repeatedly successful as long as the targets aren't as systematic in their precaution habits.

Wear a whistle as a pendant, have an assault alarm, have some pepper spray or a similar product, tell people you trust if you go somewhere alone, consider having a tracker app on your phone that you can activate when doing anything risky, avoid unfamiliar terrain at night, be vigilant,- build good safety routines.
I think doing that will help you feel less afraid and help you live better lives.
Don't avoid thinking about bad stuff, think about solutions and the bad stuff won't be as scary, or risky :)

Soulful_Sadist · 2026-03-28T20:50:02+00:00

Agreed. That's full-on BS and bias. To Me, that looks like MASSIVE bias-based "extrapolation". It's as if women aren't fully capable of seeing the same stuff Men are capable of... as if Men and women have wildly different kinds of eyeballs or whatever. That alleged "research" is... completely asinine.

OffTheRedSand · 2026-03-27T14:13:43+00:00

they aren't immune.. but women are more likely to be raped, kidnpapped and sexually assaulted than men.

both genders can get robbed and attacked, i think since men don't think like women, and don't avoid going out at night like women do, they are more likely to be robbed and attacked. but they aren't more likely to be raped and sexually assaulted like women do.

I guess it’s based on statistics maybe?
