Women shouldn't have to be extra wary or cautious every time we leave the house, but unfortunately, we are. Though there are a number of things that women may do to make them feel safe, I do wonder if there are any small but impactful things men do to help. So, if you're a man, what small actions or things do you do to make women feel safer in their daily lives?

Or perhaps you make sure to keep the other men in your life in line by shutting down any misogynistic or offensive rhetoric that may sprout up, no matter if it's in a joking manner or not.
