Being A woman in America

by Not-Me

Being a woman in America is so very dangerous. Afraid to walk down the street alone in broad daylight. As a woman in America I was asked what I was wearing and if I was sure I wasn't flirting. I was dismissed and invalidated. I was shamed and ridiculed. I was thirteen. Being a woman in America is incredibly shocking especially with all of the "feminist" movements going on lately. Being a woman in America makes me wish I was born male so I wouldn't need self defense classes and assault training. As a woman in America I will never be able to feel like I am Safe.
