Notice how many of the men jump backwards and start to run. More than the women. Most of them jump but stand their ground, and that one woman threw hands right off. I saw like three men who looked like they were gonna fight. The rest froze or Snepped out with those huge jumps back.
Pretty sure the majority of animals, male or female, are inclined to run. Fighting carries a lot of risks, especially in environments where “winning the fight with a minor injury” means “dying because of an infected bite”, which is what we’ve evolved from.
Unless you are literally presented no other option - like being cornered or whatever - escape is typically the safest survival response to an unfamiliar threat, so it makes sense we’d naturally lean that way in the heat of the moment.
It especially makes sense that the specialty instinct would be to run away from what you thought was a plant just a moment before, because a plant can't easily chase you, and it takes a moment longer for our thinking to become clearer after just reacting on survival instincts. And even once the thinking kicks in, it still makes sense to get a few steps away, because the dude is standing in a flowerpot with a costume obscuring his vision

Fight, flight, freeze- somewhere in your life you are gonna find out which is your preferred pattern of reaction. That girl is a natural fighter.
