[quote=Anonymous]OP, just to give you a sense of what it's like: women are constantly negotiating the threat of men. We learn to function like that because we have to survive, it's automatic every second of the day that we're out of the house so it's not exhausting on every level, but it sucks. I don't feel "free" in society if that makes sense. I mean, I'm sure men don't feel "free" because they can't walk down the street at night without being careful about being attacked, but they probably don't mortally fear for their lives when they are walking alone at night. They probably don't change their walking route home from work when it starts to get dark earlier. They probably don't carefully navigate every interaction with the one regular at the coffee shop and the certain colleague at work because of the potential for harm there. They probably don't make a million little decisions to keep themselves safe the way that women have to. And many women have to do this even in their most intimate relationships. Men hurt women. It's a sad fact of life.[/quote]
