Men will get into a cab at night alone, sleep & wake up when they reach
Women get into a cab, send live location to 5 ppl, call someone & loudly inform the cab number + ETA, map the route + track & be HYPER vigilant because we fear getting r*ped + k*lled
But, shit, not all men.
I’m always amazed at the low situational awareness my male friends can afford. Their stories of getting on the wrong bus, getting off at the wrong stop because they slept. I could never.
A womans safety is the job of her govt, her administration, her institutions, her faculty, her education systems, her authorities, her courts, her country to enforce and systemically guarantee. It should have nothing to do with her hours, wardrobe or anything else. It’s OUR job.
When I was leaving for Canada, uncles and aunties were like “Beta yahan ruk jao, bahar jaane ki Kya zarurat hai?”
Zarurat hai, cuz I want to work. Not get raped in the process. Now, there’s a chance I might get in an accident or shot💀 But at least that’s not based on my gender.
