This.

I slept walked and slept talked in full sentences in my early 20s during a high stress time of my life. As in one of my closest friends had been murdered. I still sleep talk a lot. And I dream like I am insane. So my guess is just high stress. Being a mother to many I would say would put you in that category.

It isn’t a scientific experiment though. It is just ‘what is your gut reaction’ type question.

That is adorable.

This image cracks me up. Lol

Who are these anti men? You obviously live in a different world than I do,

I was raised in rural AR and I l now live in rural OK. I don’t go around in constant fear of anything or any one. But I am very much aware of the dangers that do exist.

I think the point of the question is our immediate reaction. And that is that we HAVE to assume the man is dangerous. Of course most of us have more experience with men than bears….again kind of the point. What is our immediate reaction to the threat level of men?

I have TT but I don’t know how to find the original video, so I am not sure what the original question was. I believe it was posed to women simply as ‘would you rather face a man or a bear in the woods?’ Overwhelming the women answered bear. They did not think it to death …..it was not about demonizing all men but rather how women FEEL FEAR surrounding men. Then the trend changed to women asking their husbands the same question and they said they would rather face a man. Same women then added, ‘ok, would you rather our daughter face a man or a bear in the woods?’ Most men then got the point that men ARE a danger to women. Enough men at least are that we are left just not knowing which ones are good and which ones are bad. Men have responded to the trend in general showing how little awareness they have of what it is like to be a woman. Sure some women live a very privileged life where their chances of harm by men is less than for the rest of us and so that privileged woman hasn’t developed the fear. I don’t like thinking that some women might see my sons or my husband as a threat because I know they are not. However this is just the world we live in unfortunately.

That is wonderful news! 👏👏👏👏

Thank you all.

Maybe true crime, history or possibly psychology

I am so sorry! How scary! Don’t you have a cruise scheduled for soon?

She did not tell. And 60 years later does not know why. She thinks she feared what her dad would do.

I think this thought exercise isn’t about statistics. It is about feelings. A bear is more predictable than a man because we don’t know what kind of man stands before us., Today I told my mom this thought exercise and she told me this story. She was late teens when an acquaintance stopped by her parents house. She said he was creepy toward her but her dad did not notice. The next day her parents left the house and as soon as they were gone this man drove up. She said she instantly knew he was there to harm he and she went into a closet that latched from the outside and stuck her fingers through a hole near the latch and latched it. This man entered the home and went from room to room looking for her. That is a type of fear you don’t know until you know it.
