IMO women seem to be prayed upon more by some of the craziest people that I'm not so sure science fiction would want. So I think they should have a "one up" on guys to OC/CCW, Men in my opinion should be able to diffuse the situation and/or be able to negotiate a safe resolution (weather fight or flight). Women on the other had cant really talk a crazy out of dragging them down a dark alley or some guy who just won't take a hint. So it may be a biased view of things, but I'm no rapist or woman beater so I have nothing to fear from a lady with a gun.
Well this guy was a little weird anyway.

Anyway, I agree. It's harder for most women to defend against men. Many are smaller, lighter and don't have the training to use a big guy's size to their advantage. That being said, I've gotten too many threats over the years to consider NOT being able to take care of my own safety. Years ago it was death threats from people who decided their opinions about my religion were more important than my life. More recently there was a guy who worked in my building who was obsessed to the point of outlining his "plan" for me in broad daylight in the cafe of my building. (Of course when asked, no one 'saw' anything.)

"Women" in general or not, I know I can handle myself if need be. I'd just rather not get close enough to have to worry about someone like that. My Sig has longer arms than I do.
