Yeah, I would of course prefer a society that is free of harassment, but until that day, women-only spaces can be a nice place to relax for a bit. I’ve traveled alone around Europe as well, and though I definitely felt safe most of the time, there were a few times when men just WOULD NOT LEAVE ME ALONE. I got spooked

My grandma sewed all my mom’s formals, and they are similar to the ones in these pictures. They made excellent dress-up costumes for me, as well! Good thing I loved playing Little House on the Prairie.
