Women who date men unfortunately always have to have a safety plan alongside their getting ready checklist when they’re going on a date. This is a frustrating reality of living on our planet.

They’re talking about helpful safety tools, how allies can support women better, why some men feel entitled to our bodies, and a reminder that assault, harassment, and stalking are never your fault. From location tracking to bathroom updates, community help and more—let’s say the quiet part out loud.
