On Christmas Eve, Twitter user @emrazz posed a question to her nearly 200,000 followers.
It sparked an equally beautiful and heartbreaking conversation amongst women.
The self proclaimed feminist next door's Twitter account is full of feminist content.
Her pinned Tweet calls out those who claim that sexual assault accusers are seeking attention.

On December 24, emrazz posed a question that served as a follow-up to the famous question asked by Danielle Muscato in September of 2018 in response to the #metoo movement.
Muscato posted:
"Ladies, a question for you:"
"'What would you do if all men had a 9pm curfew?'"
"Dudes: Read the replies and pay attention."

emrazz's question was similar to her predecessors but expanded the timeline a bit more.
They asked:
"Women, imagine that for 24 hours, there were no men in the world."
"No men are being harmed in the creation of this hypothetical. They will all return. They are safe and happy wherever they are during this hypothetical time period."
"How would your day change, if at all?"

The question has already received more than 21,500 likes and 2,200 retweets at the time of this article's writing.
The answers to the question have proven to be informative to men as well as beautifully heartbreaking as women imagine what could be.
For one woman, being safe to be herself would be her dream.
