#16: Don’t Open the Door

This situation where some women express reluctance to answer the door or be at home when their husband isn’t present highlights the complex dynamics of gender roles and the pressures faced by both men and women. On one hand, it can pressure men as they may feel responsible for their family’s safety and security…

On the other hand, it underscores the genuine fear and vulnerability some women experience when alone. These feelings may be rooted in historical or cultural norms that have assigned men the role of protectors and perpetuated the idea that women need protection. However, it’s essential to work towards creating environments where everyone can feel safe and supported, regardless of gender.
