Every woman I know is afraid to walk alone at night. Every woman I know does not want to be in a cramped subway car full of just men. Every woman worries that some dude followed her home when she is out in the evening. Every woman I know has been hurt/injured/treated callously whether emotionally, physically or sexually by a man. Don’t tell me I have no right to fear men and their intentions because “NOTALLMEN”. I don’t leave my house unlocked when I go out either, but I don’t hear you screaming about how stupid I am because “NOTALLPEOPLE” are burglars. The point is, some men do it. The point is those men look just like the rest of the male population. And the point is, when it happens, you turn around and blame us for that too “You asked for it“ “You were stupid” “You provoked it” when you completely invalidate our very rational fear of getting raped and murdered. So don’t get annoyed at us for fearing and acting cautious around all male strangers when the system is pointedly set up to fail us.
