And it will never stop.
I’ve had good experiences with the men in my life. No trauma. No fear.
The ones I spoken to about always say “a strange man”
The women always say “bear”
I’ve never met a strange man in the woods
But I have run into a black bear in my woods. A few occurrences. I know the fear I felt. Even with a small measure of safety, on board.
I cannot even imagine the fear I’d feel if it were an unknown man. Stratospheric.
