"Are they reccing it from Tumblr? If so, they are people who have never been in the real world and don't realize that the world is safer than what the scary reblog on Tumblr says. Or the fact that crime has been steadily getting lower through the years."

Oh hey, crime rates are falling! No need to lock my car or the door of my house, and no need to worry about walking by myself through a parking garage at night with some guy who appears to be following me! Everyone can stop worrying about crime now, because the rates are down!

Seriously, come on. Lower crime rates does not mean no crime. A person's individual risk might be less than it was X number of years ago, but that doesn't mean it's stupid to take reasonable precautions about one's safety.

"Or if they are young women, that men are much more likely to be victims of random violence (muggings, murders, assaults)."

Even if this were true (how 'bout those rape stats for women, huh?), why would it matter? The advice in Gift of Fear is applicable to men as well as women. Recommending it to everyone regardless of gender makes sense.

But it's a lot easier to dismiss young women who have the temerity to use a popular social networking site, isn't it.

No one said you have to be stupid. Just less scared. You can be smart and relaxed you know.

Good joy strawmanning the fuck out of that instead of actually taking from it what was said.
