Ever since I was a child and especially now that I am in college, my parents, trusted adults, and even some of my friends remind me how to protect myself out it this cruel, harsh world we live in. I guess it is too much to ask people to treat people with some respect nowadays. Far too many women have to take steps every single day to attempt to not get harmed in our disturbing society. For some, these things have become second nature to us without us even realizing it.
If you take any of these and think, "Well, duh, of course, I should do that." Stop and ask yourself, "Is this something a man consciously has to think about doing on a daily basis?"
Here are just a few examples of conscious decisions that women make on a daily basis so that they can live a "normal" life:
