There’s still not a lot of images like that in the world. “That’s totally deliberate,” Alderman confirms. If you’ve ever been the victim of male violence against women, or walked home with your keys in your fist, or wondered if that guy is following you, or been pawed at by a predator in a bar, or hollered at on the street, or made to feel small and scared in any of the myriad ways women are made to feel small and scared every single damn day, there’s undeniably pleasure to be found in seeing the tables turned. ![]() Men are terrified they’ll be fried if they step out of line.
