put yourself in a woman's shoes. the average man is hugely overpowered compared to you and has a biological urge to stick his cock in you. that means that being in close quarters with any unknown man is a terrifying risk.
like if you're a woman you're basically depending on the honour system for the next man you meet not to force you onto the ground, rape you, then and rip your fucking face off, because we could all easily do that to women if we really wanted. what are women going to do? they're fucking weak.
despite that modern society is outstandingly safe for women because we have a lot of taboos on violence and rape, but the underlying threat never goes away.
