This question has been around for a while but I’m curious as to your answer
Playing online multiplayer using mic chat.
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.
Go jogging at night and not worried about being attacked.
Or for anyone who gets pissy at that, idk, get mauled by a bear i guess
I’m pissy about it but because it’s a valid concern, and you should be able to jog at night.
I can walk my dog at night in a rough neighborhood but my wife feels its to risky for her to leave the complex. That sucks and I wish our society was better.
Get mauled by a bear… gold! Have my up vote
As a man, I still would not go jogging at night because that’s just generally unsafe. That’s how you get mugged, regardless of sex.
Yeah… by male muggers.
“yeah… by male Nazis”
~ you
Even if there are women muggers, they mostly tend to be men. I dont think your nazi comment makes sense bro
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.
Taking a nice looong relaxing walk downtown in my sluttiest outfit with my girlfriend
But why?
Because they’d w feel safe enough to and because they WANT TO.
Hypothetically, if the person only liked men, is there even a point to wearing it anymore? Does it cease to even be “slutty” now?
Guess what, one can dress slutty for their own benefit. It doesn’t have to be in service of anyone or anything other than satisfying the vibe of the moment. Maybe it’s something they have always wanted to try without being the center of attention? Men are so fucked in the head sometimes.
No need for personal attacks, it was more of a philosophical question, like would the concept of slutty even exist in a practical way anymore if there weren’t any men left.
Also I’m a woman
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.
I went swimming in the ocean at night once. I will never do that again.
Why?
Not OP, but a lot of creatures are more active at night and not being able to see them can be very unnerving; especially if they touch you.
At the end its a plastic bag anyway, because our oceans are dead. But the scare is real though!
ITT: Women who think only men are dangerous or bad.
It is a lot safer for women to assume a man is dangerous until proven otherwise. I don’t really see a comment that posits that only men are dangerous or bad, but stomp your feet and cross your arms when women tell you their lived experience, it’s a great look.
It’s possible and sensible to acknowledge that people have had bad experiences while also acknowledging sexism, regardless of whether said sexism stems from experience. Prejudice is prejudice.
Saying women aren’t sexist if some men have wronged them is like saying white supremacists aren’t racist if someone from the race they discriminate against stole their car.
I really don’t want to upset anyone by saying this. But I am speaking my truth, my experience, just as you all are speaking yours. Paint me whatever villain you see fit, say whatever denigrating things about me you want. I am a respectful human being who sees all sexes and races as equal, and nothing that anyone says will ever change that. If that somehow upsets you, then I’m sorry you are so far gone.
The problem I have is not that all men are assumed dangerous until proven otherwise, but that no women are.
This isn’t a place for appeal to hypocrisy. “No, u…”
Lesbians are 25% more likely than straight women to be on the receiving end of domestic violence. Women are no more universally saints than men are universally sinners and I’m tired of women pretending they are.
If you’re going to decide whether or not you can trust someone based on nothing but their outward appearance, at least be right.
Statistically, the vast majority of random muggings and assaults are done by men, so I actually think this is fair. As far as this particular scenario goes.
Statistically speaking it’s also men who are majority of victims when it comes to muggings and assaults.
True but irrelevant for this scenario. All men are gone. No victims, no perpetrators. Crime plummets.
Who knows maybe women think ok now I’m top dog around here and start mugging people
Take it as a sign that women experience the world differently than you do.
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.
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 like your family, they sound like good people.
I’d travel to other countries and explore them by myself (I’d need way more than 24 hours though).
These kinds of questions are dumb af. Why? What do you think would reasonably happen if half the population disappeared in an instant? You don’t know when they’re coming back you just know they’re gone.
Instant economic and infrastructure collapse as 50% of human labor is now missing.
It’s only a day.
Okay, all electricity goes out, planes start falling, sewage gets clogged, no more coal for heating so that goes away as well, no plumbers and repair men to fix shit. So, I’d assume a chaos.
Electricity would probably work for a day. Sewage plants have backup generators and can usually last a while even without them. It’s mostly a gravity feed process. Except the wet well but they are always oversized.
Those who are currently in a bus or airplane would probably die.
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.
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.
Goin for gasps and got one from me lol
Chilling with bears, if I understand recent events correctly.
I think I missed this, what is being referred to here?
Viral hypothetical “would you rather spend a night in the woods with a bear or a man”. Toxic men getting butthurt when women chose the bear
That entire question was just pure rage bait from the start, without even resulting in any useful data
To whoever asked the question in the first place, I congratulate you for comming up with the perfect rage bait question.
That entire question was just pure rage bait
Isn’t that the point though? The fact that the question was asked and rather than think “shit, could we be better?”, some men are literally seething with anger about it?
I imagine that black men view the question as particularly insulting
Because we live in a country that already perceives black men as animals.
So seeing so many women recently affirm that perception likely is extremely isolating. Because this is the sort of ideology that gets black men murdered
why would black men find a thread full of comments about women fearing for their safety to be insulting?
Because white tears cause black scars. As Emmitt Till found out
When men are seen as threats, this translates into the murder of men, particularly those who are in national minority groups. Black, brown, immigrant, Muslim, etc men are threatened by this type of discourse, at least within the United States
Which is kind of what BLM was all about - that black men are just people and are not dangerous super predators like many white people, including white women, seem to think
It’s toxic to not want to be treated like a monster for something I didn’t do?
Women were talking about men in general. Some men took it as though they specifically were being targeted. If women don’t feel comfortable running alone at night because men can be predators, men in general should listen. When I hear that, I don’t take offence. I’m with you, I’ve never done anything. But we should be trying to figure out ways that women can feel more comfortable around men. Women shouldn’t need to feel like they have their guard up, and listening is the first step.

Every time you hear a claim about women/men replace with white and blacks, if you sound like a racist asshole, then you’re being a sexist asshole. This also applies for other stuff, including just reverting roles, if just by doing that you’re able to make your argument sound straight from the KKK, you know it’s a bad argument.
That’s not to say that women shouldn’t feel like that, or that there isn’t a problem in our society, but the same can be said about white/black situation. The difference is that most people (at least non racist assholes) understand that a higher criminality among black people has nothing to do with their skin tone, and is instead a consequence of historical factors perpetuated by social injustice, so they understand why generalized statements such as the one you made are problematic. But with the men/women people in general think it’s different, they think that men are inherently more violent or whatever, so their broad statements get less judgement, let’s not forget that up until recently that was also the general consensus about race as well.
In short if you do broad generalizations like that you ARE being an asshole, and people will feel attacked. And what’s worse is that those people are more likely to then align with someone who opposes your views which oftentimes means right wing Nazis just because they’re not attacking them.
lol that doesn’t make any sense. Why would you replace something with something completely different and expect it to work the same ?
Because at its core your argument is “group of people X feels threatened by group of people Y, but group Y should listen and not feel attacked if someone from group X tells them group Y is dangerous”. Replacing group X and Y by any group of people should give you an idea of why this is a bad argument. In other words I’m just applying analogical reasoning to your argument to showcase that in an analogous situation the same argument would be considered aggressive.
Granted, it’s not always possible to substitute groups, but if your counterargument is that the substitutions are not analogous you need to present evidence of why that is the case. In other words, why do you think this argument applies to women who are afraid of men but not to whites that are afraid of blacks.
Nobody said the man is you bro…
“It’s okay, you’re one of the good ones. Not like those uppitty n******.”
No one thinks you’re a monster. We simply don’t know if you are one. Women’s safety is more important than your feelings, period.
Women’s safety is more important than your feelings, period.
Which is how Emmitt Till was murdered
Because this logic is mainly used to target and murder black and brown men, and always has been in the United States
It would depend on the man surely? And possibly the bear, now thinking 🤔
I would take any human over a fucking bear. It’s a bear. It is far more adapted to the woods than I am. At least with another human I have some chance. Jesus how are you people not terrified of a animal thathas claws, can climb trees, can outrun you, is stronger than you, and is a predator when presumably you would have nothing resembling a weapon on you.
The difference is, the bear doesn’t want to attack you.
I don’t know how you determined any of that.
You don’t know that.
You also don’t know the man does want to attack you.
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?
Someone read Sleeping Beauties by Stephen and Own King and just reverse the plot. I think women would handle a world without males a lot better.
There is actually a Sliders episode that raised that question too and how such a society would function.
