I remember my daughter kind of wearing a short pair of shorts once when she was going out and I said, you can't wear that.
You know, you don't understand what's going to happen if you provoke that sort of response.
And she just looked at me and went, mum, this is Saffron Walden, not Hackney.
It's like, I'm fine.
But I think I was hypervigilant for a long time.
I moved out of London when I was 30 and it just felt extraordinary to me, the safety.
Like I could walk through a wood and not feel unsafe and I felt safer and safer.
as I've grown older, but I don't remember feeling safe in my childhood.

They did.
70s kids and 80s kids, it was a very different experience.
But it's really interesting because I was also thinking there was also a big bit of me that protected them from the things that happened.
I remember being chased with knives by some guys with two of my girlfriends when we were about 14.
And it was only because we knew the very labyrinthine back of the flats on the estate near where we lived that we could shake them off.
And I remember us collapsing indoors, slamming the door and kind of falling onto the mat, like staring at each other like, what just happened?
And my mum calling from upstairs, did you have a nice evening?
And we all just went, yes, because you knew that...
they couldn't cope with the knowledge and also the risk of not being allowed out.
I think
It's really hard to convey either to this generation or to men often what it was like to be female in the late 70s, early 80s.
