Girl Code Reminder

I’m on girl code but the person I talk to should be too.

It’s usually other women who put their girlfriends in danger because of men or their own irresponsible interests that does not benefit the group.

When it’s time to go home and one refuses to leave the party because they see familiar faces or switch plans on the group, or let their scrote bf just spend the night at her place without a word.

Men are a threat but like an evil spirit they can’t do much if you don’t invite them in. I had a person say that she went for a drink and when some dude came the friend hopped on his bike and left her behind.

It’s one of the reasons I don’t put myself in situation where I need to rely on others for my safety. Because most of the times humans disappoint.

I wonder about this all the time. I grew up in a village in a rural area so if we wanted to go out we obviously had to drive, usually carpooling as a group teens. It was absolutely a given that everyone drives back together and you didn't leave anyone behind, ever. Even the boys had that rule. Even if they wanted to stay behind or claimed they'd find another way to get home (there was no public transport, so "another way" would have been walking or hitchhiking - fuck no). Our parents would have killed us.

Another thing: if you drop someone off at home or take them to the bus/train station, wait until they're inside. Don't drive away until you've seen them close the door behind them. When I was younger there was a really tragic case of a teenager freezing to death on his parents' porch. His friends had dropped him off and driven away but he'd forgotten his key and -in his drunk mind- decided to nap on the porch until his parents were awake.
