I wrote a piece on this a while back. If I’m walking and see a single female approaching late in the evening I’ll cross the street and I absolutely won’t walk behind one. I’m aware that even with no ill intent it unnerves them. Little things matter.
Yeah...people are people. It doesn't matter if it is a small community. A safe community. Fifteen years ago, I was living in a small community in Washington state. It was safe. Quaint. Beautiful. It had a wonderful bike path that I frequented with my children every day for years. Until one morning, around 10 am, an acquaintance of mine was murdered and raped by a 23 year old townie, while on a morning walk on the same safe bike path. The murderer's family was from the community and owned a business there. The reality that you are not safe anywhere became as brutally apparent as her mangled body. Stay aware...and alert. Always.
Thank you for sharing.
Men need to understand.
We all have women in our lives who are dear to us.

And we appreciate that
And I get creepy vibes just listening to you tell the tale. Lock that door.
