Whisper Network

Women walked around the world in constant fear of violence; men’s greatest fear was ridicule.

I’m teaching my daughter “stranger danger” right now and it’s weird to think how, for my son, the “stranger danger” lesson will be one that becomes increasingly less relevant in his life with age, but for my daughter, it will always be there, like background music. My husband says he doesn’t worry about walking to his car alone at night. That blows my mind. It’s a little depressing that I can’t imagine walking around the world like that.
