This is one of those reasons I hate being a girl. Knowing that even a place as safe as Singapore can make girls feel scared like that and there's nothing we can do about it. And people are like, you should wear pants, or you should travel in groups. Fuck it. I hate knowing that girls are told to change their behaviours when we are obviously Not At Fault, just because guys are the screwed up ones. How is that fair. It's like when girls get raped, and people are like "oh but she shouldn't have dressed like that, she asked for it", excuse me, what?! Think about that for just a second.
