Really the only way a woman can switch the odds against a man...wife prefer 9 mm.

Firearms do indeed excel at leveling the playing field.

But there are now apps that heavily scrutinize the "safety" of the route by using Bayesian statistics. It looks like a pragmatic choice to prevent the harassment - just avoid the areas known for it based on historical data. It most likely won't predict everything accurately but could minimize it. I don't think Google maps would account for that - it was designed by men in Silicon Valley (LOL) in a mostly male development environment with few female programmers and engineers. I am a software tester (male).
