    Yeah well when you’re in a society that puts you either on the side of prey or predator, it alters behaviour, duh.

    The lack of science is not the reason that makes things not get better.

    The conclusion complains that women have to be more wary of their surroundings. Last I checked men are more at risk of being assaulted though (it’s been a while, I admit). Could the differences be more gender related than risk related? As in men, in general, underestimate risk (which is why men tend to do stupid things that get them killed) while women overestimate it?

    Edit: Wary, not weary

      Maybe men are just getting assaulted more because they’re bad at detecting it like mentioned though? Occams razor and all that.

      Women feel more scared regardless of risk so I don’t really care. Basing our worldview on how women feel about things is insane. I’ll stick with an evidence based one
