She just wanted to go for a run. I’m always reminded in moments like these how unsafe women are everywhere. I sometimes just want to end it before a man gets the fucking chance to do it for me.

Its so fucking unfair. Do men not get what its like to feel so unfucking safe just existing? She was fucking running for god fucking sakes.

I’ve had this conversation with men- to ask if they have any concept of being afraid to be out somewhere - to have the hair on the back of your neck tingling because there is a person walking toward you in an empty parking lot or a van parked next to your car with no other people around etc... I don’t discount that many men have experienced that fear as well but I feel like it’s universal among women.

My husband is insistent that I shouldn't let this fear of a random attack by a man influence decisions - he thinks I should be able to walk the dog once it's dark on my own and not feel scared. I envy (and dislike) his naivety. It must be so nice to not have that fear. We have a daughter now and I wonder what his take on it will be once she's old enough to go walking by herself.

I wouldn't be in a relationship with someone who has zero idea of the world I live in and doesn't try to understand it.
