TDLR: it's an essay long article because a woman is scared to go jogging cause it's dark out
People like me (men) have historically dealt with these winter fears by ignoring them.
No as that's what gets you in to trouble, doesn't matter where, cities, villages, countryside, you keep your wits about you as if you drop your guard, bad shit can happen especially at night when you are alone. Men have dealt with it by essentially having a posture that makes them look too much of a hassle to target. It's like you don't deal with a predator animal by running, you stand tall, shout as loud as possible to make it want to give up.
