I have had the discussion too many times where I try to convince males that yes, it really is scary to be a woman. I have talked with other women about the things we do because it is almost impossible to feel safe walking down the street at night. About trying to memorize distinct features of every person you see, just in case they are the one who can't control themselves. About knowing how you would use your purse/keys/shoes/etc as a weapon and holding them that way JUST IN CASE. And often males tell me I'm making it up, or that I am just paranoid, etc. etc.
