I don’t think people here realize what women have to deal with just walking the city. You are increasing your chance of getting harassed drastically. I’ve been harassed maybe 2-3 times in 28 years and my wife got harassed the same amount within her first 3 months here.

That’s not just walking around the city, that’s being a woman anywhere. I’ve been harassed in a suburban YMCA by a swim team dad, in a rural gas station by an old man, in a country restaurant by a couple of local trades workers, etc. being a woman makes you a target everywhere, all the time.
