I just walked home from the bus and every step I was afraid of getting attacked and raped. I'm not afraid of getting abused with violence or murdered, but I'm afraid of getting raped. It's kinda sick when a woman can't even walk in the dark without being afraid. I actually prefer to walk on a street that's competely dark, instead of one that has one light here, one light in ten yards and so on. And you know why? Because you see everything in that spot of light. Everything. And nothing just a few metres away. As opposed to when it's all dark.
Just to clarify things - I've never been attacked in any way - well, unless you count the guy who smacked my ass on June 6th 2003 when we were at a club. The closest thing I've ever come to being abused sexually was when my boyfriend wanted to have sex after a week of being an official couple. I said no, obviously, and he said "well, it's a first time for everyone at some point". It didn't really win his cause and he broke up with me three months later. (According to him it wasn't because of the sex-thing. Yea, right.)

Anyway, Sweden is suppose to be one of the most equal countries in the world. The people who say that ought to think of the lone woman late at night.
