True, we do have experience. I think one thing we can do is to talk with our girls and talk out situations and how to handle them, based on *what* is happening, not where it is. And even I acknowledge that my refusing to be 'proper' and hide at home after dark might someday put me in a bad situation. If something happens - and I hope it never does - I hope that I'll react appropriately (i.e. run or claw like hell) and get out okay.
That's all I've got, really. Trust my instincts, refuse to be cowed 'just because' I'm female, have contingency plans if things go to fuck, and then...whatever happens, happens.
