Fear No Evil
Why do some men think that nothing will happen to a woman if they are accompanied by a male knight in shining armour? "I won't let anything happen to you." "Let me walk you to your car." "I'll protect you." I've never been able to figure this out.
I don't mean to dismiss any dear friend or relative who is concerned for my safety. I actually really appreciate that.
But when you verbalize the idea of looking out for someone's well-being, I believe the words you're looking for are, "There is safety in numbers." I'm not safe with you because you're male. After all, you're not bullet proof for god's sake.
If I feel the need to use the buddy system, I'll feel safer because I'm with another person, not because I'm with another gender.
