This is such a sad truth, but it is a truthful story for women everywhere. It’s sad that life works this way.

I can definitely relate to this. Whenever I am walking in the dark, I am terrified. Despite the fact we live in suburbia, I still feel my heart racing whenever I walk in the dark. I definitely agree that when I am in cities or public areas, I am far more alert to the people around me.

Megan’s story shows how the act of being aware of the situations, people, and objects around you is extremely important, especially in this new, modern society. Personally, I agree with Megan that for both men and women, it is crucial that they make safe choices about walking alone, going to certain, more dangerous places, and making decisions that may not be wise or logical.

I’m really glad you expressed your thoughts about this issue, I’m sure a lot of girls and women including myself can relate to this. It’s horrible how you were just 8 at the time and this traumatized you but it really shows how we have a long way to go.

I agree with you, the hyper-sexualization of young girls is disturbing, and a lot has to be done in teaching young boys the proper way to behave and treat girls. We have a long way to go, for sure, but I think it can be done sooner rather than later.

It is the sad truth that women are less built than most men. Because of this, it is reasonable for some women to be scared of men
