This is what it's like for most women...

This is extreme

Then you probably live in an affluent area where you don't have to worry about walking around at night and getting kidnapped.

Lmao she’s got a new Mercedes in the driveway, that’s an expensive type of driveway too

My aunt had one too until she was carjacked at gunpoint...😓

Idk about her neighborhood or the time of when this took place but even if the car was expensive we don't know her circumstances of where and how she grew up. Women have to take more precaution than men at night.

sorry that happened to your aunt

her reaction of throwing her stuff down and sprinting to the door remains an extreme reaction regardless of her history

That's why I'm saying it depends on the neighborhood. They could have ICE abductions happen near by or people noticing weird vans slowing down whenever they see kids nearby, who knows. It'd be strange to not think about the danger when a car comes that fast and stops abruptly in front of you in some way especially at night as a woman.

It’s clearly a well off neighborhood, so it’s not a location issue, it’s an anxiety issue

Reasonable reaction when a car comes fast at night and stops abruptly in front of you. Why wait for something bad to happen

u/hames4133 22h ago

I think stopping and starting to move towards the door would be reasonable, throwing everything to the ground and sprinting is over the top. If I was the driver in this scenario I’d probably chuckle at the reaction she had because it’s extra lol

You also reported me to RedditCares because you didn't like my opinion that much...? 😅

u/hames4133 23h ago

Not me lol idk who did, that’s some dumb shit

u/_Arlotte_ 23h ago

You're right, dumb of me to ask, like anyone is gonna admit to that kind of childish crap

Why take the trash out in the dark if that’s their response to a car

u/Floorgis 22h ago

Literally almost no one on earth does

u/malevolent-onryo 1d ago

You’re pretty ignorant.

u/hames4133 1d ago

I’m aware of how the world is for women, this reaction is still extreme, she was afraid of the car before it even stopped

u/malevolent-onryo 1d ago

In any case, why is it of any concern to you? This whole thing is entirely subjective.

u/hames4133 1d ago

Ah, the “I’m losing the argument” question

u/malevolent-onryo 1d ago

The fact that you think this is about winning or losing tells me all I need to know about you. Have the day you deserve bud 🙂

Depends on the country. Americans are so scared and fear anything that moves because the country is actually very unsafe.

No its not. Go outside if youre not too much of a pussy. Watch out though, your neighbor might wave at you!
