You can drive yourself nuts worrying about what could, possibly, maybe happen or you can go and live your life. I'm as safe as possible, but I'm not about to give criminals and rapists that much power over my life.

I thought it was illegal for companies/stores to have a female worker alone on duty past a certain time of night? I'm pretty sure it is where I am. Employers have to provide a ride home, or other co-workers to walk each other to their cars etc.
Like I said earlier, there are those who talk about freedom and just living their life carefree, but I've known way too many women who used to be like that until they got assaulted. Now they don't go out alone.
