Agreed. I've had my mom wring her hands about me going places alone, but I just can't function that way. Now she does have anxiety problems that she's dealing with. I told her I might as well live in a Middle Eastern country if I'm going to wait for my male relatives to escort me everywhere.

Yeah it's fucking insane how far some people let their anxiety restrict their lives.

Like life isn't safe, you've got to be cautious. But even the smallest amount of street smarts and situational awareness will get you out of most problems. Don't get shit faced drunk. Don't trust random strangers. Avoid certain sketchy areas alone by yourself at night. But this isn't woman exclusive advice at all, they are just at higher risk, men have similar problems but too a lesser degree.

But I swear some women I've met are like hermits. They are so scared of going out in public they don't. Maybe on the middle east they have a good reason, since they'll be arrested or worse, but not in the west.

Take reasonable precautions and don't ignore danger, but being aware of it means you can easily avoid most of it.
