Not sure how good this link will load. It's from George Takei's FB page but even with me being a woman - seeing all of these other women voice all of the things I've done just is so glaring! To think about this in this way, really hits home how women adapt and alter their lives because men (some) are a threat

But for those who can't guess, the second post was about how unfair thinking about this was to the poor men.
I'm sure there will be some of that this time too, but thank you for posting. It is an interesting thought experiment, and if people would follow their thoughts on this it might teach them a lot.

(10,184 posts)but even though I live in a relatively safe town, it's not totally safe for me to do that without a big dog with me. I'm sure some men feel this way too, because of a few.

Much of my life has been constrained by realistic fears/barriers related to being a woman.
I am an adventurer, yet have not adventured nearly as much as I would have.
I would be a different person if I had been able to do the many things I did not do as I knew I would be at great risk as a woman.

Don't talk to people you don't know, don't go anywhere with people you don't know (stranger danger), active shooter drills, now the increase in human trafficking so be careful of lures especially around campus.
Not all but most of these things are perpetrated by men.
And I realize this has been going on for decades. But it seems that with so many people on this planet, there seems to be too much greed and a decrease in the value of human life.
