Thank you so much for sh...That is a brilliant post! Thank you so much for sharing! I completely agree! We are taught to be so bloody terrified when really we almost shouldn't be! A male friend of mine recently got off the bus late at night a few weeks ago and was walking down the road behind some woman he didn't know. After a while she started panicking and took out her pepper spray in what she thought was self defense. Of course it's a terrible assault on somebody who just wanted to walk to their house that happened to stand at the far end of the street – but what has society –men or women – done to that girl to scare her that much she'd hurt someone just "to be safe"?

I ended up having a panic attack once I was safely to my room because it freaked me out so much. Before leaving for college, I was given all the 'safety' talks from my parents, and I know for a fact that my brother won't have to hear any of them. What makes me more upset is how people blame the victim. "Well you should have been covering your drink" or "Don't walk home alone". How is it our fault? We need to be teaching our young men how to properly treat people, including women.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this great, thought-provoking post!<br />xx, Lizzy :DLizzy @ Lizzy's Luggagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766667413506301036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651458497556283467.post-74280103406780965602015-01-13T21:46:59.353+00:002015-01-13T21:46:59.353+00:00Excellent point highlighting another difference be...Excellent point highlighting another difference between men and women's universes that I never actually pondered before. Yes, it is sad that we have to constantly be aware of our fragile sense of safety and yet men seem oblivious. Having said that, we are physically less capable of defending ourselves and should rely on being prepared to give us an edge. Also, it is fairly obvious that men's nonchalance is naive in the current world. I agree with you that we shouldn't have to deal with this but I really hope women (and men) do take the best care of themselves. Better safe than sorry.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04064994836040965897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651458497556283467.post-62857705357088308572015-01-13T19:42:56.110+00:002015-01-13T19:42:56.110+00:00This is an amazing post, with so much truth in it!...This is an amazing post, with so much truth in it!! I definitely agree that not all men are like this but I'm a very paranoid person. I don't even feel comfortable at the doctors office when it's just me and him in the room. Even though I know nothing would happen, it's all the things we hear in society that make girls like me scared! I don't think it's right and I think the one thing we can do to prevent it, is to start teaching boys at a young age about how to respect women & young girls. Such a great post, one of my favourites :) Jasminehttp://acupcakeformythoughts.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651458497556283467.post-45561569762979507582015-01-13T19:15:43.731+00:002015-01-13T19:15:43.731+00:00This is perfect.
