Being a woman is amazing (or at least, so I’m told), but it comes with a pretty serious risk – men. Knowing that a man’s worst fear on a first date is rejection while a woman’s is possible rape/death is absolutely heartbreaking. Women have learned to live their lives defensively, always trying to be prepared for the worst.
As a man, talking to the women in my life revealed some pretty startling truths about how different life is for them. One of the major differences? Enjoying nighttime. As a guy, I don’t ever really think twice about going anywhere after dark, but for a woman, that becomes a series of risk-assessment calculations.

When Danielle Muscato went on Twitter and asked women what they would do if men lived under a 9:00 p.m. curfew, as is enforced against women in a few regressive nations, the answers where wholly depressing, and sadly unsurprising.

It’s not that women want to go out and do all kinds of crazy things at night, but if they do, that’s okay. Women want to do the simple things that we should be able to take part in that are missed. Going for a nighttime jog, maybe even with headphones on, would be great. Catching a bus without fear. Going to the grocery store alone at night. They are the kinds of things women immediately relate to, and miss themselves.

What we learn by reading what thousands of women answered is that the world feels, and too often is, dangerous for women.

Without fear of men, women might open doors at night. We might stop off at someplace new for a coffee. Maybe we would even smile more – because isn’t that what so many men keep telling women we need to do anyway.
