That’s a pretty big exception. And do your stats control for risk-taking behavior, which is higher in men? [0] For example, do we see a higher rate of violent crime against men because that rate includes gang violence and men are much more likely to be involved in gangs than women? Or because it includes car theft, when car ownership is higher amongst men than women? Or because men are more likely to be employed outside the home where crime is more likely?
None of this helps women who have to decide whether to cross the street to avoid a group coming towards them. The GP point about a form of social anxiety being a survival instinct is absolutely plausible.
My point is that when you normalize for risk-taking behavior, women will come out worse. When a woman goes out at 3am in her Chrysler 300 to sling dope through a bad neighborhood, she will face additional risks than the ones she chose.
