Almost all women in America are to some degree nervous about going out alone....

Funny. I am very guilty of this, and not just at night; these days, i don't leave the house on foot without a dog or a friend or three. I don't think of it as male-specific violence, though. The part where i usually get the sideways stare from middle-aged women, and harassed by people who appear both gender-variant and seriously mentally ill only reinforces it.

I am aware that i have a somewhat skewed understanding of the world.
