Last night, I left work in darkness (because some of our jobs go that way, and I can’t afford security).
On the path, a man was walking towards me. I gave him a wide berth, and glanced over my shoulder as I passed him.
He’d stopped.
And then he turned to walk behind me.

He had probably remembered he needed to buy something at the shop, or he’d forgotten something at his own building.
But my own response was:
Head up. Where are the lights? Where are the doors? Which buildings are still open? How many cars are passing in the road?

I crossed the road, and slowed right down so he was ahead of me.
Nothing happened. The most likely outcome.

But I know absolutely that if that person had been a woman, I would have felt differently.
It’s not ‘people’ @ThisisDavina It’s men. And I can’t tell which ones.
And you know it’s the reason you don’t go out in the dark.

I have just remembered the night before. A different dark stretch through a park. And a man who deviated long from the path to give me large amounts of space.
Maybe that’s COVID though? 😂
