And for our safety,?we are told not to leave our houses after it gets dark because instead of teaching men to not rape, it's better to lock women in their houses. But imagine, if every single man in the country had a 9:00 pm curfew. As soon as it became dark, men would have to go back home and stay indoors. And women could do as they please the whole night...
That's the premise behind a viral Twitter thread that asks, "What would you do if all men had a 9:00 pm curfew?"?
The result? A series of heartbreaking tweets by women who would do the most basic, normal things like grocery shopping and simply taking a walk. Through this, we really do hope men understand how much of our lives we put on hold, all in the fear that we'll get harmed.?
Scroll through to know what responses women gave and get ready to be emotionally hit because it's not easy living when you have to take every step in life with caution.?

Isn't it sad how women can't even do the most simple things like grocery shopping or sitting in a park without worrying about their safety? For all the men reading this, we are not labeling every man a rapist, but it's time you stand with women and put an end to this.??
