Many women grew up hearing the same advice:
Be nice.
Be polite.
Don’t make waves.
In other words—don’t take up too much space.
We also learned safety habits: share your location and make sure someone knows where you are.
Those habits didn’t come from nowhere.
Real progress means raising expectations for behavior and respect. We teach people how to treat us.
Full reflection on the blog.
