I love this story! Thank you so much for bringing it to Fourth Wave. I love to learn about what life is like for women all over the world. I tend to get isolated in the U.S., and imagine that my world is THE world, when of course it is not. I'm glad you were able to handle the emergency and that the goons calmed down. I had no doubt from the beginning that you would handle it! But that fear of male violence is something women experience worldwide. I believe times are changing for the better--but not fast enough. We need to raise our boys to be better, non-violent people.
