Is it safer to talk back to a woman or a man?
What if the woman calls her husband/guy-friend/etc to defend her?
For instance: What if there is an unpleasant verbal exchange, and she texts or calls him really quickly and within seconds this angry guy who thinks you’re picking on his “wife-woman/girl-friend/etc” shows up to the scene and becomes an even greater threat, AND/OR he follows you ~ G-d forbid on all of that.
