Putting aside the "we shouldn't have to live like this" argument, for the foreseeable future, women should be escorted by men when in public. Damn near everytime my wife "just" needs to "run out and grab a few things from the store" some fucktard manages to ruin her day. Hell, even when we split up inside Lowe's I sometimes come back to some dipshit pestering her. However, this has happened zero times when my son or I was with her.
