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

    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.)

      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.

        Also, if you have a driver’s license, you probably know enough to safely stop a bus even if your license is for personal vehicles only. And while I don’t know the numbers, I’m pretty sure the percentage is much higher.

          Yup. The main concern in the bus situation is how suddenly the driver disappeared vs. reaction time of the passengers. If it’s sudden enough, and the bus is fast enough, even if all passengers were able to drive it, odds are that it’ll still crash.

        Flight attendants won’t be landing anything without flight controllers. Especially in busy airports like Heathrow. Even if you leave men pilots in place and only remove men traffic controllers, all the planes will crash.

        Yeah but what percentage of air traffic controllers are women? Those that are will have to coordinate a lot more landings than usual.

    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.

    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.

        “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.

          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 am glad I am not the only one who thinks about shooting at loud cars and bikers. I genuinely would if I could.

          Q: Reason why I intentionally have a great car stereo?

          A: I’m a junglist.

          Q: What does it accomplish?

          A: makes me feel better.

          Q: what is your trauma that you feel the need to shoot people that like music you do not?

          A: nothing, you are just in need of help.

            Do you have other sociopathic traits which cause you to thoughtlessly selfishly behave in ways that disturb others/wake people up with heart attacks/wake up sleeping babies/cause noise pollution, for your own pleasure? Do you feel like silence is an uncomfortable void that must always be filled? Do you not realize that silence is the neutral mode in which we all live peaceably, and when silence is broken it’s best done purposefully & meaningfully, not obnoxious & intrusive & selfish? Who wants to hear your music? YOU do. No one else does.

            WEAR HEADPHONES.

                What’s against the law? Wearing headphones? You’re the only one who wants to hear your music. Wear headphones.

                  You are a stupid fuck that doesn’t listen. It’s against the law to wear headphone while driving. What the fuck is your problem?

    I’m pretty sure there is critically important infrastructure technology that is not maintained by all female teams, so probably stuff would fall apart, the world needs all of us. But if it’s more like they suddenly don’t see us for a day, we all still exist but cannot interact in any way? Or they are all also women for that day?

    And I can have the day off?

    I’m going to the beach to swim and sunbathe nude. Then out for a drink at the bar that’s close enough to walk home from, but not safe enough to walk home from.
