When I was younger, before I could drive, I wanted to be able to run to the gym near my house so I could work out. The gym is half a mile away but I wasn’t allowed, my brother was though. I understand that my parents wanted to protect me but we live in a safe area, it wasn’t a far distance, and my brother was allowed to go when I wasn’t. They were worried that, as a girl I would get attacked, but my brother didn’t have to worry about it at all.
