What kind of paranoid or hell world is this supposed woman living in where 1 in 3 men is a violent slasher?
- panglott 11y agoTo be far, this is a world where 1 in 3 men is a secret agent, and the rest are insouciant pirates. Jack World sounds like a pretty interesting place.

- J_Darnley 11y agoPerhaps I did judge that world too hastily.
- EliRivers 11y agoI don't think that's what it says. It says the likelihood of those three options is equal. So that could be a one in a million chance of being Jack Ryan, a one in a million chance of being Jack Sparrow, and a one in a million chance of being Jack the Ripper. Other options are not mentioned.
- zeveb 11y agoYou know, I never would have thought of that myself—until in a discussion about unisex bathrooms several women were concerned about being raped therein.
- KingMob 11y agoObviously, that isn't meant to be taken at face value, but consider the underlying issue. Thanks to things like the availability heuristic, and the need to be prepared for worst-case scenarios (rape, death), women adopted a super-cautious stance. They have to suss out any hint of violent behavior and essentially treat every new guy as if they might be dangerous, even though they know that statistically, they're safe.
