Do you remember hearing or have you ever heard of the incident in Israel when Golda Meir was the prime minister? The story goes that there was a rampant amount of violence against women occurring in the streets of Israeli cities at the time. All of the men in her cabinet were suggesting that a curfew be put into place for women (and women only) for their safety, since the sight of these women after a certain hour of the night clearly rendered the men unable to control themselves - thereby creating an unsafe environment for the women. Golda Meir replied by suggesting: why not have a curfew for the men instead, since they were the ones who couldn't control themselves and it might be best for them to stay in.

The idea to set a curfew was instantly dropped and not brought up again.
