It’s too common for a woman to be alone with strangers for her to make a confrontation each time. Think about a shopping trip from a woman’s point of view. Getting to the car, carrying things, being smaller than half the population, children, etc.

Plus, a man will leave you alone until you look nervous - then he gets interested. His interest is always innocent, even helpful, until it’s not.

In this case, the woman suspected she was being stalked to the point that when she emerged from the elevator, she ran to get away. My argument is that she should have declared her intention long before that, because, as we saw, she did NOT escape, and exposed herself to being knifed (or worse) when he caught up with her.

Had he known she had a gun and was prepared to use it, he may have opted to get off on another floor. Or to vacate the building entirely.
