Though I understand and appreciate the sentiment behind this installment of the Safety Gram, I'm glad I was finally informed that, as a woman, I must not carry cash, walk in the dark or wait for buses.  Not to mention I must have a chaperone to go shopping, because it is the only time your purse is snatched, when you are shopping and that, of course, is a woman's prime directive in life.

In fact, let's consider the fact that at UTC if I go to work out at the Wellness Workplace on a game night, I cannot park by the arena because it is reserved for Athletic Donor parking and the garage is paid parking.  Because the "well-lit" side of the street is torn up with construction, I end up walking a block or so, in the dark, past a desolate graveyard with no lights and lots of good places for someone to hide.  But, I suppose because I don't have my purse nor am I on my way to go shopping, I have nothing to worry about.

Perhaps I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, but this really stuck in my already well-filled craw.
