Is Samarkand safe for women?

As a local resident, I can say that men are the biggest problem. I won't say that they attack everyone around them, but like everywhere, their looks make you feel very uncomfortable, they can shout something after you, whistle, They might even allow themselves to talk to you when drunk. If that's not a problem for you, there aren't any big incidents like shootings here, everything is more calm, but again, the big problem is men.
