[quote=Anonymous]I think that both men and women participate in socializing women to be afraid. Even though it's not common that women are kidnapped in broad daylight, men who catcall and follow women participate in reinforcing fear. You don't *know* which man is "just" catcalling or otherwise engaging in harassment, and which one is going to be violent. Women also tend to (perhaps justifiably) socialize their daughters and other women toward more conservative behaviors than men. I think it's entirely possible that most of us walk through life in BOTH states -- justifiably nervous in certain situations, and paranoid in others. It's like asking how skinny you should become before you are "too skinny" -- there's no right answer, the whole construct depends on always not being comfortable in your own skin. [/quote]
