I have been, for the past three years, avoiding needing to go home (as that I commute alone) after 7pm. (I had to do 6:45pm a few times and in the winter when it's dark, chilly and wet it's very unpleasant.) It's ...actually not that reassuring to know my paranoia is justified. (This is even more sinister than that deal with racism: at least that one the person didn't try to harm anyone physically, just to scare people and potentially cause psychological trauma.)
Then again if it's justified, is it still paranoia?
