Male privilege is not being afraid to go to the chip shop.

Some background, first. There is a chip shop 5-10 minutes from my house. It’s generally a good place, and I love the chips. However, going out at night in my area is… ill-advised.

Today, I went to get some chips. I thought I would be OK. And I was, really. But it was almost sunset. I mean, that would have been okay, but then there was a long queue and I had to walk back in the dark. I’m 16 years old. I’ve never been so scared in my life.

I bet no male-passing individual would have been that afraid.
