Attacked in New York City in Broad Daylight: What Men Can Do to Create a Safer World for Women

I thought the world had ended this morning. I live in a neighborhood near a lovely walking path. My habit now is taking a walk first thing after getting out of bed.

On The Frightening Realities of Being a Woman in 2017
