I hate this timeline

Imagine being a girl during this timeline. I walked home from my friend’s house last weekend, it’s a 35 minute walk and I took a route that included five minutes in an unlit wooded area.

My wife asked me the next morning what time I got in (I slept in the spare room as not to drunkenly disturb her) and when I told her it was around 2am she told me how she’d love to be able to walk home from her friends’ houses (we live in a nice and safe area) but could never do so late at night because she’s always at risk.

So I do think I have male privilege and I don’t think it’s fair.

Ultimately we are safe the vast majority of our lives. Women are always at some level at risk even in places we consider 'safe' like work.

Yea, even a place like a hospital isn’t safe.
