Turns out walking through a sketchy area and being harassed are scary no matter what genitalia you have.

Yeah, but the point here is that they were posing as women with female looking avatars. One guy even says that he would have reacted differently if it was male:

Another participant reported that he would have reacted differently had he been in the role of a man, but since he was embodying a female character, he chose instead to walk away.
