You're totally correct, and its only been exacerbated by the social idea that women should be totally self-sufficient. No man is an island. The best way to protect against big humans is to ally yourself with other big humans. Cultivate positive, mutually-beneficial relationships with men. Start with the ones in your own family. Many women have absolutely no idea how much the men in their lives care about them, and would put themselves in harm's way if something threatened her.

When possible, travel to strange or dangerous areas with one of them. If that's not possible, travel with another woman. Predators look for weak animals on their own; the herd is safer.

Everyone should strive to build some sort of communal bonds with others. I know that we get this prideful idea that we want to solve everything on our own, but you get so much further in life by working with others.
