Maybe, but I have also heard this opinion independently from a few women in my life.

Yeah, I'm simply pointing out that anecdata can contribute to stereotypes. In the way the OP posted it, it sounded like 'men are ok with dark streets, but women are the reason we can't make the streets dark'. When in reality the line isn't on sex but other things like strength and defense knowledge. As I mentioned before, those sorts of things might be more associated with one sex or the other, but it's a mistake to stereotype.
