Take a long walk in the darkening woods. Sleep in the open on the beach. Go to a bar and get blackout drunk.

Forest is pretty scary at night.

Chilling with bears, if I understand recent events correctly.

Those who are currently in a bus or airplane would probably die.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

I believe that less than it looks like.

While only 5% of the pilots are women, flight attendants receive basic training for emergency situations, such as when the pilot is incapacitated. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them could actually land a plane in a life-and-death situation, or at least find a passenger who can.

With buses the picture is a bit brighter. If I had to guess, 20% of the bus drivers around the world are female? And a missing driver doesn't automatically spells your death - the bus might be going slow due to traffic, and a lot of people are able to at least step on a brake.

EDIT: I'm genuinely curious about the downvotes. If I said something that is either factually wrong (false) or morally wrong (sexist, insensitive, etc.), feel free to point out, as I can't guess anything based on downvotes alone.

Alternatively, if the downvotes are due to a faulty reasoning, then please show the flaw.

I asked my sister and my mum this question.

Sister: she'd be working as usual. Her only co-worker in their small biz is also a woman, so no issue. She asked about her male cats first, before asking about my nephew and BIL.

Mum: she said that she'd be eating air fryer French fries and ice cream through the day and watching movies. She can't be arsed to cook. (I'm usually the one cooking here.)

Going for a topless walk on the beach at night! It's the only time I'd feel safe enough to. I've been sexually harassed and assaulted enough, starting back when I was a little girl, to know I could never do that normally.

Dress up, go out and to a bar all by myself, meet strangers without worrying about how to get rid of them later.

Go to the nicest sauna in town, spa all day.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Full hair and makeup, sparkly dress that shows a lot, go to a trendy bar with my friends and get blackout ass drunk without worrying about protecting my drink all night and knowing I can walk home by myself.

In the morning I would nurse the hangover while ordering the biggest ass teddy 🐻 bear 🐻 that will fit through my door as a memento.

Yaay, another day, another person making fun of a medical condition and linking it to macho behaviour.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (11 children)

"Small penis" is a euphemism/metaphor to describe men who act like obnoxious douchebags because they're compensating for some undisclosed physical/psychosocial/emotional insecurity.

Can anyone provide reasons why men intentionally equip their cars with ear-damaging, bone-rattling, illegal decibels of obnoxious maddening noise? This accomplishes nothing for them other than everyone hating them and labeling them as douchebags. People like that are the reason I intentionally do not own a gun because I would lose control with it the first time a car like that comes within my sight.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I know what the euphemism stands for. But reverse the situation, put small tits somewhere in the sentence and suddenly it's big bad.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who tries to imagine what people will feel like when reading stuff. And I'm imagining a guy whose only "crime" is having been born with a small penis and having to constantly read how that makes him a macho.

Why does everyone forget how to behave when it comes to men? Y'all are being quite disgusting.

I'd travel to other countries and explore them by myself (I'd need way more than 24 hours though).

[–] xePBMg9 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

Feel like 24 hours is too little to do anything special with. Would have been a little more interesting question if the timespan would have been longer. A year?
