Might seem an odd thread for this board but just needed to sound off. Got a new puppy at the beginning of the year and walking her is one of the things keeping me sane at the moment.
However, there's been a massive rise in dog thefts recently and it's certainly taken some of the pleasure away. Just made me think this is yet another way that women are constantly on alert.
Can't really enjoy solitary walks in my local country park anymore, have to meet up with other women (safety in numbers). Constantly looking around for dodgy blokes, carrying an alarm and a dye spray, never totally relaxed.
So many things that women face in their everyday lives that men just aren't affected by in the same way.
No answer to it but it just brings it home to you how so many things are different for women. I bloody hate feeling vulnerable and it makes me angry!
