Something Sherelyn said earlier is really bothering me: "all the women said they never leave the truck at night".....If that's correct, what a sad comment it is, on the 'freedom' we enjoy. I leave the truck at night, whenever I want to - to refrain would make me feel as if I were on 'house arrest', or being punished for something.
My other concern is the implication that if it's dangerous after dark, then it's safe in the daylight - and that is not true, and just creates a false sense of security. The extra risks involved in being female exist day and night, 24/7. While we need to be always aware of them, I hope we don't need to be a prisoner to the fears. I won't, anyway.
