According to Mary Ward a feminist arthur said " Nearly 70 per cent of young women aged 15-30 avoid public places after dark, while 30 per cent believed it is not safe to travel alone on public transport."
Are women capable of walking alone at nights? or are they scared like Mary Ward said?
Of course. Do you know how many forms of violence have more female than male victims? Here in the US, it's one. Worldwide? Zero. Obviously that's going to vary by location and demographic numbers; there are very likely places that have multiple forms of violence (I don't say "violent crimes", because many laws are written specifically to exclude female perpetrators or male victims) that have majority-female victims.
But the REAL question is "Is there any objective measure by which women actually ARE in more danger alone at night?". Feelings are entirely in your own head, and not controlled by actual realities- that's why Feminists are so fond of them. It's like saying that first graders are oppressed because they're more afraid of ninja tyrannosaur attacks than any other demographic.
Men are victims of violent assault at far higher rates than women. No one can walk at night and be certain they won't be assaulted,

What about feministic ''equality''? How can it be that a female is... unsafer... than a male when the theory of being equal were 'true'?
Leaving ''feminismicism'' aside - the ''safety'' of an environment depends on the quality of the culture that encompasses it. If your place is shitty - then shit is going to happen.
My own values are 'traditional' - so I'll contribute my (outdated) chivalry to any mistress in distress. No matter if she got into troubles by her own silliness.
Walk, if you must :)
Walking alone at night is dangerous for anyone since most criminals do their crimes at night, as the darkness helps them conceal their identity and crimes more easily.
A woman walking alone at night I think is at a greater disadvantage than a man walking alone at night because women are physically more weaker than men.
I'm scared mostly in certain places that are too lonely or weird but it's necessary sometimes so there's nothing to do about it. I've had bad experiences already, every women I know has gone through something similar, yes, it's dangerous.
Nobody should be walking at night especially alone. Its stupid to be out so late at night anyways.
They can walk wherever they like! Nothing to be afraid of, as they are not alone and someone is always watching...
At least that's what I understand from the bible thumper screaming "Jesus is always watching over you, child!"
They are capable, but in too many locations it's risky for them to be walking alone at night.
Its going to depend a lot on where you live. Around here crime is virtually non existent but I know places I wouldn't want to be alone in broad daylight.
Of course we're capable of it. It's just that in areas with high crime rates we just try to protect our safety.
I don’t feel safe doing that, and only would if it’s absolutely necessary, like needing to get to work.
i can but that really depends where i am and how late we're talking. like 10 pm in a nice neighborhood is all good. 2 am in a shitty area na
The younger you are the worst it is. THERE ARE SOME MAD RAPIST OUT THERE!!!
