I didn't mean for this post to cause a bunch of arguing in the comments =(
I thought this was just some gallows humor (e.g. "Everything's lovely except that I have to fear for my safety all the time") type of shitpost that sounded similar to comments I've heard from women irl a lot.

This also depends on what kind of roads you have to walk on - highways suck for nighttime walks, because not only are you constantly on edge to try not to get run over, you also need to walk for miles to get anywhere.
Suburbs are nicer, but the best is to walk in a park, but that raises your chances of getting murdered by a lot so idk
I don't know where I was going with this. I lost my train of thought.
Easy solution: bring a bear. Much less chance of being murdered, and the bear gets to shit in the woods. Well, park, but close enough.
Easy solution: live in a safe country! We have no fears of night walks in Canada.
In all of Canada? Every city? All of Toronto and Vancouver? Wow I'm impressed that rape, murder and assault never happen there.
Compared to the US, yes it is much much safer here. I would be scared to walk late night downtown ANYWHERE in US cities. Here, that's never been a problem.
I'm going out on a limb and saying you're not a woman. There's no place on earth I could say I'd never feel unsafe walking alone at night. Although I'm less nervous in my own neighborhood in Los Angeles, just because it's familiar.
I did delve into your history to check before I spoke. I now know a lot more about Myanmar, (which was fascinating and took me so far back into your posts as to get creepy, my apologies ) and the NFL, and btw you're doing great at adding content to Lemmy, but the only posts about women's issues were the Toronto Tempo and one about abortion pill access that's consistent with your sound views on the present shithole US administration, and you didn't add any personal comments to.
Where do you get your reference points from? Social media? Movies? Shows? Or personal experience from walking in lots of downtowns? These statements just reek of not first-hand knowledge to me and just "oooh crime ridden OTHER places" Sure crime exists, but it's the broad strokes that make me disregard statements like that. I've been to plenty of very safe downtowns in various corners of America, to say ANY US city is insane.
Are you 12 fucking years old?
No, just old enough to realize speaking in platitudes makes people look like ignorant idiots
