There were some perceptive and interesting posts on page 40 of the previous thread, from Roving PublicEnquiry, thenosiesttermagant and Datun among others, about the instinctive wariness (to put it very mildly) that women experience in woodland at dusk and similar environments.
Apologies again for a man's perspective, but I think this is worth sharing. I accept that I cannot have a woman's perspective, but I do have some idea of what you mean. Teenage boys can be similarly vulnerable to predatory men - not yet having gained the strength a complete male puberty usually provides - and I was approached and followed by strangers in the streets. I also have many women in my life - DM, DW, DD, aunts, nieces, cousins, friends - whose safety concerns me.
One of the reasons that men are more often the victims of male violence is that we are more likely to escalate a potentially violent situation. Women often have little choice but to try to defuse a threatening incident, or to get to a place of safety. Many men have another option, to square their shoulders and assert their own physical presence. Like rutting stags, some invite violence so that they have an excuse to return it. But men who are physically weaker or socialised to avoid violent behaviour are a bit more like women in their responses, and have some understanding of them. In old age, nearly all men have to come to terms with the fact that they can no longer get away with the fiction that they are dangerous beasts that shouldn't be messed with.
So I hope (naively?) that the majority of men actually do see something of a woman's perspective when it's pointed out.
