I would say you are projecting your fears onto her, at least as of the time I posted my comment and based on the reply to me. Even if it did, it doesn’t change my response because she is asking about going to bars alone. It is what it is. To go to bars alone, someone has to be willing to actually go to them alone. Let them write their story. We don’t need to do it for them. We also don’t need to assume they aren’t capable or are afraid of those things as a main factor. Boston is very safe and literally every activity in life has some statistical probability of something happening. The likelihood of those things happening are still very low on any given day. It’s up to them to set parameters for how they do activities and what their limits and concerns are.
