Why Women Fear Men | The Advocate

The epidemic of violence against women also has real effects on how women are socialized and raised. Women are taught to be afraid of being alone, as well as to be wary of men. Women learn to carry rape whistles and pepper spray with them at all times. Women are taught (or many times forced) to not wear revealing clothing as it might “provoke” an unwanted sexual advance. A fear of men starts to become second nature.

We break down how our culture today forces women to be afraid of men and facilitates victim blaming, as well as what we can do to start to change.
