| Comment | The curfew is a deliberately absurd idea. I'm told I shouldn't go outside at night because I might get attacked, and men don't bat a fucking eye at that. But when someone says "how about we tell men not to go outside at night instead?", you all freak the fuck out. If it's absurd to suggest that you stay inside, then direct some of the anger you feel about the absurdity of it at the people who tell women the same thing. Which is what is happening every time a woman is attacked at night and people roll out questions like "why was she out on her own after dark?" "why was she walking alone?". This is a de facto curfew on women. By choosing to do things like exist outside at night, we're being told that any attack we experience is effectively our own fault, because we should know better than to dare to go outside at night. Where is your anger about that? |
