SF has had some cleaner parts - including north parts of Embarcadero, Presidio, etc. but the center and Market St. areas can be pretty scary to a person who's not used to it. As a large ugly dude, I didn't really feel _that_ threatened there, even if a bit uneasy, but I can only imagine how, for example, a woman would feel navigating it, especially at later hours...
- sneak 2y agoStatistically speaking, women are almost never physically attacked by strangers, it is almost always someone they know. Men are attacked by strangers at a much much higher rate than women are.
- sharpshadow 2y agoI would also say woman fear strangers much more than somebody they know. Maybe what’s the reason they can avoid getting physically attacked by strangers better than men.
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoI'm not sure what your point is to be honest, are you saying women are safe in that area at that time of night because of global statistics?
- Dylan16807 2y ago"I didn't feel that threatened, but I can only imagine how X group would feel" doesn't make much sense if X group is actually at a lower risk. I don't know if they're right at all, but the point seems pretty clear. And they're not saying anyone is safe.
