Yesterday I’ve created a post which sparked quite the debate. So I’ve decided to create a survey with 3 questions (and some demographics which you don’t have to answer), to actually get some statistics. I will share the data once I’ll gather enough. If you’d be willing to answer these 3 (multiple choice) questions which won’t take more than a minute of your time I’d be very grateful.

Survey: [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/150H3f-43iI0fiS98gOyNr\_bu9eBBtVcHFgpZpixxSkg](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/150H3f-43iI0fiS98gOyNr_bu9eBBtVcHFgpZpixxSkg)

If you have any suggestions or thoughts, leave some comments.

  1. So.. you want statisic of opinions that may or may have nothing to do with women being actually safer?

  2. I think that question in survey should be stated more like this:
    “Do you feel safe in Poland?” and type in your gender.

  3. I don’t know what the context is, but this questionnaire doesn’t measure the problem, it measures the perception of it. If you actually wanted to research this, you’d make the sex field mandatory and then ask whether the person feels safe or unsafe, preferably in different contexts and situations. Then you compare the data, do some simple statistical tests (like chi-square), and get your answer

  5. I don’t understand why you want to know about my political and religious affiliation. I didn’t fill out the survey because of that. It seems like you are trying to prove some correlation between politics/religion and perceived safety.

    What you don’t ask are things like whether a person has been a victim of a crime or harassment. That would give you actual information.

    As a woman, drunk men harassed me in Poland both in the day and at night. Both in Polish and English. I was dressed conservatively.

  6. Your title asks directly are women safer in Poland, and instead you ask about perceived safety, not actual safety concerns people have experienced. Just because you’re interested in investigating perceived safety, doesn’t mean we want to contribute the information when the questions seem to point to a narrative unknown to the surveyees.

  7. Ale żeby mieć dobre dane to trzeba mieć próbe reprezentatywną i troche inaczej skonstruować pytania. Ludzie z reddita to nie jest próba reprezentatywna.

    Garbage in, garbage out tutaj będzie.

  8. Safer can be interpreted in so many ways that it’s hard for me to answer this question. Safe from what? Being harassed, being robbed, being heavily injured, being killed, being sexually assaulted, being verbally abused, being run over by a car? Some of those are more probable for men, some for women, and some should be the same. SO the answer is more complex than simple yes/no.

    The question and answers are not phrased the best, because ” I think they are equally safe” is included in the “no” answer. If women are equally safe then they are not safer.
