<p>It&rsquo;s a uniquely strange experience, when you try to put yourself into others&rsquo; shoes. It feels fake, dishonest even, to say that you &ldquo;understand&rdquo; how the other person must be feeling. Empathy can be a strong force, but it can never be a substitute for the original feeling. A caucasian man can never feel what an African-American man must be living with, day in and day out. Same thing between a Brahmin and a Dalit, and a man and a woman.</p>
<p>We&rsquo;re swimming so deep into the ocean of privilege that a mere acknowledgment of it stands out. Nowhere have I found it to be so stark when thinking about gender. I was having a conversation with my partner the other day about how traveling solo is a lovely experience and the serendipity and chance encounters make up for a unique experience. She said that if she travelled solo, every minute she would be worrying about her safety and the thought would overpower any other experiences that she&rsquo;d be having. I would&rsquo;ve never thought about my safety, she would&rsquo;ve never thought about anything else.</p>
