Lead on, oh Kinky Turtle

Inspired by this tweet I’ve decided to make a list of all the times I recall thinking about or being worried about being raped.

1. When I am in an elevator by myself  
2. Walking back to my dorm/apartment by myself at night 
3. Riding my bike to go swimming at the gym in the early morning 
4. Walking to my car at night 
5. Walking to my car in a parking garage alone 
6. When I have to take the stairs and no one is around 
7. When I am home alone in my apartment 
8. If I am at a party with a lot of people and lose my friends 
9. Whenever a man is walking behind me and it’s just us or it’s dark out 
10. Anytime a man offers to walk me home or escort me and I don’t know him very well
11. When I stay at the library too late and not many people are around

Those are just what I can think of off the top of my head. I know there are plenty more. 

When I’m left alone in a friends car in an empty/mostly empty parking lot.

When I go to a male professor I don’t know very well’s office.

When I am on public transportation by myself.

When I walk past bars at night.

Any situation where I am outnumbered by men I don’t know very well
