I agree. I am a decent sized person, so feel comfortable in my ability to defend myself in need, at least enough to get away more or less unscathed, but I do feel for smaller people, women, children.  They shouldnt have to be toeing a line of &quot;Do I walk awkwardly to add a safe distance between people who look odd&quot; and &quot;Do I walk normal and maybe get attacked&#x2F;accosted&quot;.
