Do you think young women should be able to live in a house or apartment all alone?

Question

I think no because its just too dangerous and most women can't really defend themselves or they could go wild and start doing things they shouldn't. A young woman always needs some kind of male authority figure in her life to take care of her and protect her. Even elderly widows probably need to stay with some kind of male relative if possible.

Answer 1

Yes. I live alone.

Answer 2

I've lived on my own for 9 years now. I refuse to have a roommate because I've never had good luck with them. The last time I had roommates, I ended up supporting my best friend (who had a job but blew all her money), her boyfriend (who was a freeloader), and her son. I live on my own because I'm the one who's responsible. If I don't pay my bills or my apartment's a mess, it's all on me. There's no negative feelings on anyone else. And I live in a not-so-nice part of town, but guess what? I've never had any problems. I may be a single woman, but I'm not a stupid one. I have trustworthy neighbors and we watch each other's backs. When I'm home alone, if I don't have the front door open for air, or I'm not waiting for someone to come by, I leave my doors locked. When I go out, I leave lights on so it looks like someone's home. I know self defense so I can protect myself if necessary. And I always have a phone handy in case I need to dial 911. I do not need to stay with a male relative. I'm so independent that my family can't stand me for too long anyway. I only became friends with my parents after I moved out. We hated each other when I lived in their house.

Should I ever need to get a roommate again, I can say one thing. I'll live with a man. It's not because I feel I need to be with a man to feel safe. It's more because I can't live with women. Men are more easy-going when it comes to living arrangements, in my experience. And I tend to get along better with men for longer periods of time than I do women. I have more in common with the men.

Answer 3

House

Answer 4

Male, no. Someone, yes. Especially seeing as males don't make very role modals this day 'N' age. And a female can learn how to protect herself, you know. I'm sure any, or at least most, or at least some females nowadays are smart enough when they watch the news, and they are living all be themselves, to learn how to protect themselves. Elderly women usually already do stay with family, it does not matter if the family is one person five, it does not if the one person is male or female. As long as she has someone there.

I do agree dangerous, but like it would be a very good idea to have a female, especially a young one staying and living with a male??? I think not

Answer 5

Here's an idea- you should write a book with all your prehistoric views on women " Sandstorm's Guide to Self Defense". Include the million questions you have posted on this website that are sexist towards females. We females could read a chapter a night and if someone breaks in we would kick their *** with the sheer adrenaline your questions provoke.

Answer 6

ARE YOU SOME KIND OF MALE CHAUVINIST PIG!?!?!?
now i am not some crazy bra burning hippie but for u to say that u think women will "go wild and start doing things they shouldn't" when a guy isn't around is medieval thinking at best!
actually i think i gave you a couple centuries too many!
I don't know how old u r but r u telling me that u have never heard of a guy going wild and doing something crazy? Have u ever seen a college movie? oh no wait. don't tell me u live in hicksville, alabama or is it redneck city, Kentucky? take ur pick i really don't give a damn. and one more thing. i presume u believe that u would b the ideal male authority figure of the poor defenseless women of america. how exactly would u give us authority? what would u want us to do? oh no i think i know, my feeble female mind is catching on, ud have us fetch u a beer and give u a lap dance wouldn't u? like u make old elle may and mary lou do rite? well u can get on that but I'm so sorry that i wont b one of the "legions" of women kneeling down before you and calling you master. I'm afraid my feeble female mind simply can compute that amount of data.

Answer 7

should they be able to? so what, women aren't capable of handling a big old apartment by their itty bitty selves? It isn't dangerous, thousands of women live alone. With a big dog, some mace, & keys they're fine. Don't belittle women b/c you think they can't do anything. "A young woman always needs some kind of male authority figure in her life to take care of her and protect her." *PUKE* You're one of those domineering, controlling, belittling men, aren't you? God help the poor 'helpless' woman that get's w/ you.

I can protect myself, thank you. I don't need a big, strong man to do it for me. My man stands beside me, not in front of me.

Answer 8

When I first saw your question, I was thinking "whyever not?"

After reading your details, I am thinking "are you really serious?"
serious? or is this a joke?

I'm not trying to offend, but it seems that your opinion of young women is quite low (and, it may be argued, quite inaccurate).

Answer 9

This sword swings both ways, darlin'.

Sometimes the danger lies on the other side of the door. Check out the domestic violence statistics.

I think most kids, out on their own for the first time, free of parental authority, tend to go a little wild and "start doing things they shouldn't". Male and female.

To assume a male authority figure is going to "take care of her and protect her" is a little naive. Look at the single mom stats. It's just not happening. Men are abandoning their girlfriends, wives and children at an alarming rate.

I know one guy who gave up his job and benefits for an under-the-table job for Decades so he couldn't be traced for child support. There's care and protection for you.

Your hypothesis has one flaw:

Men.

Answer 10

"All alone"?

I don't mind being "all alone".

"All alone" is nice sometimes.

I lived alone many years, with my children.
No man required. We're all good. Happy and healthy.

Nothing bad happened.

Quit being so paranoid, hon, you're gonna go gray.

Answer 11

Well, living alone is certainly better than living with a person like you.
