How do the rules for men travelling alone and women travelling alone differ?

Throughout Islam, there is a lot of attention on women travelling alone, with attitudes varying significantly. Indeed, there's several questions on this site relating to women travelling alone: - https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/8698/17163 - https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/31010/17163 - https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/33135/17163 - https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/36150/17163 However, there seems to be minimal attention given to men travelling alone, so I'm curious about this imbalance. **Question**: How do the rules for men travelling alone and women travelling alone differ? Islam Q&A says that the Prophet "forbade [travelling alone] in several ahaadeeth" without making reference to one's gender (although there is nuance to their post). I also found this post: > In times of insecurity and war, in long journeys, the Prophet, pbuh, ordained that a woman should travel with her husband or a male relative. This was meant to help the woman and to provide security, not to put the woman under the control of her husband... -- Kaukab Siddique , New Trend Mag, 2009. I'm not sure what to make of this.
