General Discussion

Few men seem to grasp the deeply ingrained sense of vulnerability that ALL women, even the strongest of us feel ALL the time. We learn this intuitively growing up in a male dominated society where females are taught that THEY are responsible for whatever violations of their person they endure. Even in my own home, I have difficulty conveying to my husband that YES open blinds bother me, even in the daylight--not because of the light, but because they reveal there is a woman in the house. I am not generally a fearful person. This feels more instinctive. It is safer to be invisible in this world that hates women.
