Women are already safer 'walking at night' than men are, by a wide margin. And even for men it's quite rare overall.

You've been duped by fear-mongering propaganda.

Also, the fact is that any pair of people is statistically WAY less likely to be attacked in that way, than any individual. This should be the primary 'tip' at the top of the list when it comes to educating about being safe in that situation. Nothing reduces your risk more, regardless of your sex, than not being all by yourself. Nothing else comes even close.

P.S. Bonus tip, because I hate whenever I see this 'advice' making the rounds on social media or whatnot: doing some Wolverine-style shit with your keys is a stupid self-defense idea; it's ineffective and literally more likely to do damage to you than an attacker. Instead, in a pinch, it's much better to hold the largest key you have (likely car key) between thumb and index finger, and 'stab' with it like a dagger, hard as you can.
