I don't know, walking through a strange city at night I'd rather be a man than a woman.
Statistically speaking, you'd be in more danger as a male. But you do you, and enjoy the "feeling" over statistical reality.
I'm not sure that's true. Well, it may technically be true, but it's very misleading, as I recall. Men are more often the victims of violence, but it's a very specific subset of men, so it's not fair to apply that to randos walking around at night. Those are two completely different scenarios, and you can't plug one into the other.
Assuming AoV isn't a gangbanger, he may very well be safer as a man walking around a strange neighborhood than he would be as a woman. Gangster on gangster violence drastically skews the perceived statistical danger levels of men, as I recall.
Not saying definitively either way - I haven't looked into it - just saying that statistics can, and often are, very misleading.
There also is the fact that women are more likely to be too scared to walk around at night in a bad neighborhood, whereas I've done it before without second thought.
