Why not?


“Be safe” They tell young women “Don’t walk alone late at night” They preach over and over. “Don’t take your eyes off your drink” Every girl hears before a party. “Be mindful of what you wear” Every girl hears as soon as they hit puberty. Why not tell men, “Don’t harass women late at night “Don’t drug women’s drinks “Don’t make women uncomfortable for what they wear” Why not tell men, “ Make sure our women are safe.”
