Depends on location and country but I don't want to further the notion that it is unsafe for women to walk down a street alone because it is not the reality in most modern societies.
Trying to accommodate irrational fears is often not helpful, it can even be abusive because you validate these fears. This is even a common mechanism to isolate people in abusive relationships. Don't go outside, there is danger in every dark alley!
Some other women might just try emphasize their vulnerability to fish for a protector. How evil of them, but hard to be angry about that.
If you always accommodate people for their comfort, you refuse them growth. As I said, it depends on the location. The locations that don't have the problem did not solve it by arbitrary security mechanisms.
