In today's time, the world is so scary. When my parents were young and when they were teenagers they never worried about locking the doors at their house. They never had to look over their shoulders at someone who was walking the street with them to make sure that they were not going to attack them.
In today's world, you have to watch every single person who walks by you just in case they try to hurt you or steal your purse. Women from my generation have to worry every time they go outside if what they are going to wear is going to attract someone that we do not want. We have to watch everyone around us to make sure we are safe.
Women and girls from my generation should not have to sit there and worry about these things, we should be able to go out with our friends and have a good time. I recently watched a video about what to look for and how to defend ourselves from an attacker.
People went into jails and asked people who are rapists what would make certain women a target or not, and they said that they that would not go for people with short hair because there is not anything to grab them and keep them in a certain spot. They also said that they would not pursue people that made a lot of noise and fought back because that would be way too much work for them. Rapists and people like that will go for people who are easy targets, they go for people who are distracted and on their phones so that they never see their attacker coming until it is too late. And always give them your purse over your life or over you getting hurt because you can always replace what you lost in your purse, you cannot replace you or your health.
People always say to watch around you, especially when you get into your car. You need to look at the cars around you if there is a van near your car either get in on the opposite side of the car. Or you can go and get a guy or an officer of some sort to walk you to your car.
In today's world, women and girls should not have to be so cautious about what we do. We should be able to wear what we want and be able to walk around town without having to worry about the person who is walking in our direction. And no matter what our body type is we should not have to look at a person who we think could be an attacker and decide if we could be able to take them or get away from them. As I say that it is not the case for females so we have to know all of this information to be able to protect ourselves as much as we need to. Life means so much to us so we need to know how to make it last.
