To be a woman.

Today I was getting ready for school when I heard a knock on the door. I was about to the open the door but then I hesitated. Who would be coming to my apartment this early? I looked through the eyehole and saw a large man and instantly, I'd say instinctually, felt fear. Fear to the point where I didn't even open my door for him. He walked away and knocked on my neighbors door and I realized this man was probably innocent and harmless... but I also realized this is what it is to be a woman. To live in fear, whether consciously or subconsciously. And this is something that most men will never understand and will call irrational. Oh to be a man, with privilege and security taken for granted. Oh if only they could be a woman for a day.
