Last year, a Twitter thread addressed women and asked this question: How would your life change if men had a curfew at 8 p.m.? In other words, what would it be like if women could go out at night without the fear of being harassed or assaulted? How would a woman’s life change if she felt safe?

These questions reveal the truth of living in our world as women: we are not safe. That lack of safety limits our freedom. Either consciously or subconsciously we make choices based on our risk every day. This risk is at least partly the result of a culture of male entitlement that assumes a justified power over us. This culture was recently on display in a case before the Disciplinary Board: ODC v. Lynch.
