[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pretty surprised about the nonchalance to riding the metro and metro buses in middle school. Yes you as a middle age woman can likely do that just fine but I remember being repeatedly sexually harassed (groped multiple times in addition to comments and a man trying to get my ID) riding on the metro when I was younger- a teenager and young adult. Aside from one workplace incident at a summer job I have not experienced that kind of sexual harassment anywhere else. I am aware my daughter will very likely have to deal with this as well but if I can keep it from happening at 11 I will. [/quote] Yes. I will let my 12 yo daughter do a lot of things, but no way I’d let her ride the metro alone at this age as a girl. Sorry, some things are different for boys vs girls in terms of risk. Wish it wasn’t that way, but that’s real life. [/quote]
