Legalise the carrying of pepper-spray for women to feel safer.
Women shouldn’t feel unsafe late at night. If they were exclusively able to carry pepper spray they would regain some control for themselves. Men are undeniably stronger than women, and male on female crime is rife, therefore we should be able to protect ourselves, effectively.
