My girl friends are afraid to go by themselves at night, and even in groups they won't cross a park and they avoid talking to strangers after dark. I don't know if they are a afraid to be robbed or raped or whatever. But I have never felt fear of doing any of those things. I love being out after dark, have you ever walked by yourself when in the middle of the night? It's wonderful, it's so quiet, everything is calm. I love it, and I have never been afraid of doing it. One of my friends teased me yesterday when we talked about it, she said it's because I don't really see myself as a women after I walked her to her car after we had a movie night. I have never been interested in make-up or too interested in fashion. Don't get me wrong, I love to party and I do dress up, but I have never read cosmo or magazines like it, instead I read photography or news magazines. I have went backpacking on the other side of the world without knowing a single person there or going with anyone I know (I like the freedom). Something I have now learned most girls wouldn't dare to do. Is she right? I have never thought about it before so I'm a bit curious.
it makes you less of a girly-girl, but more of a woman. although bragging about it drops your womanness 1/2 a point...
Your friends paranoia doesn't make them women.. or even more fem than you. WTF did no one tell me I wasn't allowed out alone, or at- gasp- night???? I'm not paranoid about that(usually.. maybe in a bad neighborhood, in mine I am kinda scared of dogs attacking if I walk round at night)--I am no less of a woman for not cowering in fear that i MIGHT get raped, or robbed , if I am alone,neither are you. Tell your friends "things" happen in the daytime, too.
