If I may say so, none of those solutions were recommended by Ake.

Whatever steps you--or your hypothetical woman--take in a day or a year are entirely your own choice in action, timing, location, born out of your own sense of "what to do and why to do it".

That's personal responsibility. If you decide to cross a street you do it knowing that it is riskier than standing on the sidewalk, but you do so thinking you have assessed the dangers correctly.

It's not the point to stop going places. It's owning your own actions and decisions.

ANd as I said earlier its not a legal issue or a blame criterion.
