a mugging

the post at the top is a story of a local blogger who was brutally beaten and assaulted quite recently. the police seem to think it wasn't just about what was in her wallet.

it's a reminder, to me, that being a woman in the dark is all sorts of vulnerable.

That's even scarier than the actual story. This fear, although I can relate to it, deserves scrutiny and deconstruction. Not that this will make women feel safer, but it will open up a discussion about the many things we are taught to fear.
