I don't have a hard time recognizing that most women are more fearful than most men at night alone. But if this is really a universal fear that affects all women, shouldn't we reconsider allowing women to take jobs such as police officers and front-line military personnel?
Why would someone in charge of assigning security guards for night shifts ever hire a woman, and expose her to more anxiety and danger than her male counterparts?
