> If you're smart, it's fine

You just confirmed it’s no myth. Not everybody is smart _all_ the time.

I don't believe a smart solo women is in any more danger than a smart solo man.

So it's a myth to say "solo women" is a problem.

You should say "solo stupid traveler" is a problem.

It's not that women are a problem. It's that in some places, women are treated badly.
