Background
Crime statistics regarding women are partially as they are because women avoid being out at certain times & places, not as indication of how safe society is. Women therefore have less freedom than men & for this reason among others are rendered second-class citizens. Having pepper spray would give them greater peace of mind & the means to live alone safely.
