ETIQUETTE FOR MEN AT NIGHT

1. Remember that your presence can be threatening to women walking alone at night
2. If a woman is walking in front of you alone at night, slow down. You walking quickly or speeding up can be and in most cases is threatening
3. If you’ve been drinking and are drunk, go straight home.
4. Do not pick a fight or aggravate women walking at night
5. Do not take off your clothes or publicly urinate
6. Be careful to make sure you do not touch or hit someone, even on accident.
7. If, late at night, you come to a situation in which you and a woman have to ride an elevator together, let her go up first and wait for the elevator to come back down.
8. If there’s a woman in a public restroom (There are Korean public restrooms with no gender or sex markings that are open to all people), wait for her to finish and come out first before using the restroom.
9. Report broken streetlights to the police
10. Tell other men about these rules and that they have a responsibility to not threaten women walking at night

This is why feminism has such a bad name.  The above implies that women have more rights than men in these situations.

I’ve been told time and time again that Feminism is about equal rights regardless of gender.  This isn’t that. This hurts that movement.  This needs to stop.
