I do at times, but it depends on the destination and circumstances.
Adult female tourist traveling alone in India are at risk of what you mentioned — no less risk than for adult male tourists traveling alone — but also at greater risk of an additional crime than male adult tourists traveling alone there: rape. And I have zero doubt that India is more risky for women traveling alone than for men traveling alone.
