Well let him in for God’s sake!

This question and ensuing discussion is so important because it tells of a problem that goes much deeper than you’d originally think.

If you would ask a room full of people (men and women alike) whether they have felt afraid in their lives, almost every hand will go up. But if you would ask whether they have felt afraid every day of their lives, almost all the men’s hands would go down while half of the women’s hands would stay up. And the other half of the women wouldn’t take their hands down because they haven’t been afraid every day but because they don’t realize anymore that they have.

Women’s emotions are fear-based. We are, other than men, literally running on anxiety. But because we feel this way 24/7 since our childhoods we don’t recognize it as such anymore. It’s only in small moments in between where we can relax (when we are cuddling our pets, for example) that we get rid of this constant stress and tension in our bodies. In those moments, it’s like we can suddenly breathe more deeply, as if we are breathing in air instead of anxiety for the first time in a long while. Which is how we should always feel. Women’s “normal” setting is not something we should endure for years, let alone most of our lives. But since we live in a world made by men for men, we are not safe in it. That’s just a sad fact.

And this goes so much further than being raped or sexually abused, too (which is so common that most women ARE abuse victims somewhere on the scale). Those are the worst-case scenarios, but the unsafety starts much sooner. When woman answer this question with “bear”, I’ve seen many comments from men along the lines of “most men are nice, you can’t generalize like that” or “not all men, this is just another way to turn women against us”. And I’m sorry, but if you are reacting in this way, you are part of the problem. When you are so ego-based that you need to defend yourself in reaction to this answer, you are NOT a man that women will feel safe around.

Yes, I believe that most men don’t actively abuse women, but it isn’t enough to be passive here. Men need to actively create safety for the women in their lives. I would love to say that we can do it ourselves, but biologically speaking we can’t. The female energy is reactive. We are almost like prey animals in that sense. We are constantly vigilant and reacting to the environment around us. And if it isn’t conducive to us feeling safe, we can’t. So, we need men to step up and learn to attune to women and to actively ensure their safety.

The good news I have for any man is, that, once you do this for the woman in your life, once you make her feel safe on every level, you’ll have her unending loyalty and she’ll bury bodies for you, no questions asked.

So, in the end, it’s really in the men’s hands to make us choose a man instead of a bear in the future…

I wouldn't be able to say anything without being like "The cat picked me btw"

Yeah, that's the wide path around of EXPERIENCE for that little dog. Baby has been slapped or lightly mauled by a cat before, betcha.

Not having it this time.

And she keeps an eye on the cat the WHOLE time she's going around, just in case it CHARGES.

She's like, "I choose life"

That's exactly how my dog reacted whenever he saw a cat. And the one time one came up behind him while he was busy sniffing the bushes, he literally catapulted himself into the air and away from the "very dangerous beast" as he would say.

I can pet my cat to sleep. What is your superpower?

My show is being rebooted. We have better executives now.

Cooperate just called. We lost budget again.

Translation needed.

Nothing really terribly interesting, just a couple pals arguing about the weather and the price of little treats.

Cat: *high on catnip*

Dog: "Weirdo, what are you doing?"
