20. I'm sorry you went through that.

I completely understand your choice, given your experience.

I did see that, in the article. I take issue with it. Women experiencing harassment (and threats) happens everywhere, at all hours. But, while I'm glad women are sharing their experiences, it is not something that should cause women to try to warn off other women from running where and when they choose, or to attack an ad showing a woman doing a relatively common activity the way she chooses. I have been through a couple attempted assaults in my life - and they had nothing to do with running or being out at night. Sadly, sexual assault, or at least the attempt, is rampant in most of the world, in virtually every setting. But, adult women are hardly unaware of that, and are capable of making our own decisions as to our activities and safety, and should not be shamed or overwarned or told that our choices are somehow abnormal.
