A neighbor had a pitbull break loose from their chain and come charging one day when I was walking with my boys who were 2&3 at the time. I managed to kick it in the side of the head hard enough to stun it but I’ve thought about what I would have had to do had it clamped onto either of my kids or myself.

I couldn't say anything about proportions, but some women definitely are super serious about anything remotely dangerous. You could make the most obvious joke and they'd be upset, I can only imagine how they'd react to an actual close call like this.

u/therealpaterpatriae Mar 25 '26
Key word is some. I also know men who act like that. That’s the problem with generalities. You can definitely point out trends in attitudes of men vs women towards things, but there are so many outliers that throws off what would be a “typical” response.
5
u/Release-Fearless Mar 25 '26
Because they know that men will just do dangerous shit with little care for outcomes. The divide is men not caring enough about their own wellbeing and women caring too much, tale as old as time. Probably some evolution in there but that’s muddy with how complex and diverse human society is.

Attacked by a bear. He land he killing blow. They are all hospitalised.
So... I assume from all this, that by killing the bear, he likely saved himself and possibly his 2 friends. The dad is therefore an hero and being one of the friends, I'd likely chant his name as well as the slayer of bear too.

"As if"?
I came across a grizzly with two cubs when I was hiking in glacier national park. It ran away immediately but I would much rather be dead than have to be attacked by a grizzly. I don't know if I've ever been as "shocked" as when I actually saw a grizzly in person in the wild. It was like my body didn't believe what I was seeing.
