Study visually captures a hard truth: Walking home at night is not the same for women (phys.org)

An eye-catching new study shows just how different the experience of walking home at night is for women versus men.

The study, led by Brigham Young University public health professor Robbie Chaney, provides clear visual evidence of the constant environmental scanning women conduct as they walk in the dark, a safety consideration the study shows is unique to their experience.

I'm not a combat vet but I typically scan my surroundings if walking at night and don't use phones/headphones specifically so as not to appear as "distracted and therefore a target."

Guess I should start shopping for estrogen, funny way to find this out about myself, who knew all it takes to be a woman is situational awareness and men are physically incapable of it.
