The cash usually is not the problem.
Most women have their wallet with their ID and credit cards in the purse, along with keys to their house and car and their cell phone. Those things open the door to more serious criminal attempts. The purse itself could be worth hundreds of dollars.
And what if the robber wants more than material goods? When do stop giving in?
Everyone has to make this kind of decision for himself or herself.

good one jim! that's why i don't carry a purse and most certainly do not carry hundreds of dollars.
No matter who you are, if you're carrying a lot of cash, it's a good idea to carry it somewhere other than your wallet.
When I used to take public transportation in Chicago, I carried a mugger wallet. I was divested of it once.
It's difficult for a woman to dress stylishly in this climate and not carry a purse. There are offices were cargo pants don't pass muster, and it's too warm for a jacket with lots of pockets.

Fear, anger, hatred, and greed. The devil's all-you-can-eat buffet.
update, the perp has been apprehended! looks like they got the right guy cause he confessed about the shooting. but they still have to do a photo lineup and match the clothing on tape.if that's the perp, i hope he rots in jail.
The above link has a photo of the 63 year old victim,
a text story, and a 1M,12S long video of the news story.
