According to the World Health Organisation, it is estimated that more than one in three women worldwide have experienced physical violence (sexual or non-sexual in nature) at the hands of a man.

No men are being harmed in the creation of this hypothetical. They will all return. They are safe and happy wherever they are during this hypothetical time period.

I used to love running at night on a path by the ocean, it was beautiful - but I had creepy incident after creepy incident and the stress ended up overtaking my love of night running.
With no men, I'd put on my shoes at 10pm and run.
