I didn't mean for this post to cause a bunch of arguing in the comments =(

I thought this was just some gallows humor (e.g. "Everything's lovely except that I have to fear for my safety all the time") type of shitpost that sounded similar to comments I've heard from women irl a lot.

I blame women.

For not murdering enough. The streets would be safer if men had the same fear.

I too support women in men-dominated fields

Psychopaths can’t feel fear

Men are killed more often. But men generally have less fear. We go boldly unto death.

Predominantly other men. But that doesn't make it ok.

Relax, David, you might get attacked or killed on your way back from work, but I don't feel sympathy, because it'd probably be done by another man.

The reality is anybody can feel unsafe at night, and everyone is valid in thinking so. Women generally feel more threatened because, despite being far less likely to be targeted, they're also far less likely to be able to resist their attacker, which is also very reasonable.

i didn't say it makes it okay or that i'm not sympathetic. this thread is full of "but what about men tho" takes to discredit the fear women reasonably have of being attacked by men. they don't have to worry about women nearly as much. the original post stands true regardless of whether or not men are also affected, which they are, and perhaps they should consider doing something about it instead of just dismissing the concern all together because it came from a woman.

That's not being bold, that's supression of risk assesment and reduction on consequence sensitivity. Brought on by testosterone.

I mean, most women probably have experience with cleaning up blood.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 22 hours ago

I wonder if that's throwing off the statistics.

ive had 2 (and a half) nosebleeds this week, can confirm.
(I'm fine it's just the dry+cold weather)

[–] robocall 6 points 21 hours ago

Cold weather plus cocaine has that effect

Delilah Bon agrees.
