"Paying to stay safe': why women don't walk as much as men"

@suzianne said
How about promoting a culture that respects women as co-equal members of society? One that doesn't treat them as second-class citizens? Or prey? Or property? Or is that too much to ask?

We've already been working on that since before even I was born, right.

Of course, we must continue promoting total respect for women and consent as an absolute necessity for sex, and we must continue to vilify sexual criminals and stay alert.

Mh point is that I'm not sure a culture of talking about it actually works.

Just like preaching abstinence only doesn't work.

Talking about it is the always the first step toward change. Staying quiet about something only ensures change doesn't happen.
