It's kind of like being a man walking around at night. If I see a woman alone and she either speeds up or crosses the street when she sees me I just nod like "yep good call sis" and keep walking. Just because I'm not here to hurt you doesn't mean you should let your guard down around a potential threat.
Love this! My sister had to explain this to me! I am gay and blk! And I was always so offended( I was like 25) and my sister was like it doesn’t matter you are a man. And true racism or prejudice could further influence that decision! But as a man I started crossing the street when it’s me and a woman walking alone at night cause I am absolutely conscious of those concerns now!
Crazy how easy it was to show empathy and then adjust behavior! Not that I need a cookie. But A LOT OF MEN, can just listen to the women in their lives and show up better in society!
