    You’re feeling unsafe because of social class or nationality or another factor.

    Not in this case. I just do not feel safe because crime exists, and I can become a victim roughly as much as anybody else (probably slightly less than an elder person, in some cases for example). Some other people might have additional worries (like being attacked for racial motives), of course.

    That does not mean you do not benefit from being male in a world ultimately built around men.

    Which is something I have never claimed. What I challenged is the view that such privilege materializes in being able to roam free and fearless everywhere and whenever.

    I’m just not exactly worried about someone stalking or kidnapping me over it.

    Of course, there might be a qualitative difference in which worries I have vs someone else, but the original comment suggested “not worrying”, which I find it absolutely unrealistic.
