So last night I got off work at 1am, in the West Village. So not only is it late, it\u2019s late in one of the most eccentric neighborhoods in NYC. Now I am one of those people that isn\u2019t afraid of late night transit. Living in the city that never sleeps, you either make it part of your repetoire, or you make a shit ton of money and take cabs all the time. Now, it\u2019s late, I\u2019m tired, and I\u2019m waiting for the subway. It arrives, on time, I love the 1 train (When in doubt, take the 1 train). I step into the subway car, and as I\u2019m readjusting my bag on my lap, I take a gander at my surroundings, preparing to scope out the hot mess costumers either headed home or onto the next bar. Instead, I get a much more frightening picture. Not only is no one in costume, I realize that I am the only female on the subway car. I am surrounded by at least a dozen men. It is the most undesirable position to be in as a woman. My guard instantly went up. And unconsciously, all of the sexual assault headlines that I have ever read in my entire life start popping in my brain. Why? Because that type of fear is completely justifiable based on the insurmountable evidence that besides breast cancer, men pose the greatest threat to women\u2019s health, mentality, and physical well being. It I love my job, I love this city, I love the subway\u2026just not at 1am when I have to be in constant fear for my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
