What do you do when your 2-wheeler stalls on a highway at 9 pm?
If you are male, you walk to the nearest toll booth and try to get it fixed. Or you thumb a lift, and return the next day with a mechanic
If you are female, you wonder how to save yourself from rape

When you are booking a hotel, what do you look for?
If you are male, you look at the rooms, the pool, the food, the view, the location.
If you are female, you check reviews from other women to see if the place is safe

Women are always scared.
When you wave goodbye to a friend at the metro station, you say, "text me when you get home." And if she doesn't, do you start worrying and call to check if she reached home safe.
Then say, "next time you forget to text, I will kill you"

When you take cab from the airport late at night, do you pretend to take a photograph of the licence plate and send it to a friend. So the driver knows there is a record.
Do you always carry a mug of boiling water that you can throw on the face of the driver?

Do you get yelled at by your father-in-law when you walk home from the Metro Station at 8:30 pm. "If you had called me, I would have picked you up", he says. He is 77. But he wants you back home safe. He knows how much can happen to a women even in 600 meters.

When my female colleagues travel by train, I call them late at night, so my number will be on top of the call list in case something happens to them. Do I ever have to do that for a male?

Ever seen a woman step out for a smoke alone? She always takes someone, because she is scared.
Ever known how scared a woman feels when she is the only female on a train or bus.
Men may never know that fear. But understand what we go through every day.
