Are there many assaults on uber passengers because they are white? Are there many assaults on uber passengers because they are women? There is your answer.

Your average woman subjects themselves to a spectrum of sexual harassment ranging from cat calling to approaches - or even worse - by just leaving the house. Imagine them in gyms in workout clothing, or night club dresses in locked vehicles. If the solution is to limit what they wear, we're part of the problem

If Whites had, on average, 2.5 standard deviations lower upper-body strength than non-Whites, then maybe.

That's not why women ask for women-only gyms.

It's one of the relevant factors. It, and related facts, make it usually possible for a man to overpower a woman (and a predator self-selected for being somewhat above average in fighting ability might be confident of overpowering multiple women, or at least being able to get away in the worst case), which has implications for safety.

Women-only gyms are because women don't like being oogled whilst exercising.

Maybe some claim it's for safety but the fact they're often 24hr would decry that.

No one owes anyone moral consistency.
