As I sat in my local yesterday it struck me, for the 1,000th time, how lucky men are that they can go out to public places like bars and pubs on their own. I consider myself an independent woman, but I am incapable of doing this, and it really annoys me that I allow some social rule that "women shouldn't go to a bar on their own" to hold me back. Have any mudcatters ( male or female ) got any possible solutions to this ? I will go to an eating-place on my own, as long as it's not too late at night and as long as I have something to read. Perhaps there are some parts of the world where it's fine for a woman to go out alone ? If so, where ?
