OMG, I really relate to this. It is so true! Just the other day I was driving by an entrance to an area with trees and a trail which, as a runner, looked appealing. Immediately I thought that there is no way I would be running there by myself. Always aware of my vulnerability as a woman, I most definitely take precautions when out and about.
I read a snippet of Stephen Curry's recent essay re his daughters only relating to equality in pay and the lack thereof "sending the wrong message to women about who they are, and how they're valued, and what they can or cannot become." Well, while he's rightfully championing for equal pay, equal safety must be part of the equation. In the meantime, I recommend he enroll his beautiful daughters in self-defense classes.
