Transcript: With a picture of a snake in the background, post reads: The chances of a human being bitten by a venomous snake is 1 in 70 thousand.

The chances of a woman being attacked by a man is 1 in 3.

And somehow, your fear of snakes is valid. But a woman’s fear of male violence is dramatic.

    yes, that is how public forums work…hence my question.

    If you don’t know the answer to a question, you don’t have to pretend to answer an ancillary concern nobody is asking about, it’s okay.

      Yes, public forums usually have rules! hence it is recommended you read those before asking questions!

      If you don’t know how to read the rules, you don’t have to pretend like you did! Nobody is asking for your opinion, its okay!

        No, you avoided answering my question by responding “you can view it as a” preaching to the choir" thing if you’d like", which is a negative response, not an affirmative.

        Now you’ve amended your earlier response to provide an answer. No gas-fiddling on my watch, velma!

          I personally view it as bringing up a relevant topic in this group, but that doesn’t mean it’s inaccurate to view it as “preaching to the choir”.

            yea, both interpretations are correct.

            That’s your alt account?

            Arr you also Butterfly? I mean, you don’t have to get into that, but is that why you’re speaking for the OP?

              Hey now you’ve crossed the line here. No, Wren and Lady Butterfly are not alt accounts. Women exist on the internet, I know it’s shocking.
