Not a single woman has even asked or cared if I felt uncomfortable at a gas station at night, or ATM, or walking down the street.
Yet data shows men are more likely to be physically assaulted and/or killed by strangers.
This framing ignores the fact that most people who commit crimes like the ones you mention are men. A man encountered in one of those situations alone is a lot more likely to be a threat, so I'm not sure why you'd expect that a woman would try to initiate conversation with him.
