They are men. For a woman to say that without being delusional, she needs weapons and the will to use them.
Not a terrible assumption, people who are willing to stalk you that hard are potentially violent or unhinged enough to try violence as a last resort even if they suck at fighting.
I might just be making this up based on his prepper ways, but I feel like I've heard Vesper say that at the very least he carries pepper spray? And if he preps, he may have guns too.
The funny part to me isn't that they're completely off-base in thinking they could handle themselves in a fight (from what they've said, they're all reasonably tall and fit). It's that their response to something that their managers are very concerned about is the sort of response you'd see from a stereotypical male comedy character.
Just imagine a scene with this middle-manager from a risk-averse JP company trying to convince their newly hired three Americans and an Aussie that, no, you can't just deal with crazy weirdos by fighting them in the middle of a parking lot.
