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?

It would be absurd to assume all women have a universal fear of men.
But aggressive men, late at night, who are in a group and are drunk? Yeah that checks enough boxes to be totally understandable.
Given this woman’s PTSD history, perhaps being a night time security guard isn’t the most suitable career but that’s ignoring the limited career options for vets with mental health issues. Not everyone can just choose to not do a job they aren’t suitable for. She maybe needs to pay her rent and eat like everyone else. What other career opportunities are readily available for this woman?
