Noam Horev recounts a personal experience where he walked at night on a dark street in south Tel Aviv, and a woman walking ahead of him was frightened of him. To calm her down, he called his partner and spoke in a stereotypically gay tone, which made her relax. The incident prompts reflections on women's fear on the street, his anxieties as a father of a young girl, and the question of how long he can protect her. He connects this to child abuse scandals in kindergartens and the threat of war with Iran, asking how to teach a girl to be wary of people without fearing them. The article ends with a sense of inner conflict between the desire to protect his daughter and the desire to let her love the world.
