Maybe you could stop talking about something outside of your experience like you know it in and out. Walking around as a woman can be terrifying. Almost every woman I know has stories about being followed home or harassed. SA is under reported by a mile. All my friends have tasers.
You are literally dismissing the experience of every woman I've ever met. Honestly touch grass, which in your case probably means calling your mom or your sister or some woman in your life. Or read a fucking book idk. cishet men and thinking they know enough to comment on every damn thing, the nerve.
May I politely suggest a reputable brand of pepper spray like Sabre Red or POM, it works at a decent range, and is more reliably effective than tasers. Spray across the eyes then run away.
I conceal carry too, but I think pepper spray is more useful. There's a lot of gray area where someone could definitely be a threat but may or may not be a deadly threat in the eyes of the law or one's conscience.
Like would you rather maker sure an attacker is stabbing you or risk using unjustified deadly force, or would you rather just spray and GTFO?
You can buy training sprays that will let you test out the power and angle of the pepper spray without actually macing anyone. I recommend that to my girlfriends who want to carry pepper spray, helps to build confidence and is also fun!
Those sprays I recommended are quite strong streams, Sabre gel might work a bit better. You can shield your face while spraying or try to move laterally so you aren't directly downwind.

I have a concealed carry permit and own a handgun. Better than a taser or pepper spray.
Also not a replacement for people also adapting how they behave in public, but I think we agree on that.
