Shut him down fast
Making fun of women who are working hard to feel safe while walking alone at night is callous and inconsiderate. In an ideal world, no girl would have to contact a friend in such circumstances. However, the world is far from perfect as we would wish it to be.
It’s great to know that someone is keeping an eye on you, but no one thinks a phone call will keep them safe. It’s comforting to know that someone is aware of your whereabouts and may swiftly get help in an emergency.
