4. Oh, sure, I've been in situations where I was nervous.

Always been leery walking alone after dark, for sure.

I was thinking of something more specific, like being directly threatened by a man or having a narrow escape from some dude trying to harm me. I've not experienced anything like that.

But being in situations where I felt like I had to be on my guard or felt unsafe in general because of male behavior, sure, and I'm sure just about all women have.

It's very true that men don't have to look over their shoulders or be on guard about their personal safety as much as women do.
