[Edit] I think people are misunderstanding my comment. In no way is this meant as something negative. I've just come to notice that most men don't do a little squeal when startled, but women do. I just notice these things and I'm curious why there's a difference.
I'm just wondering why you respond with screaming?
Well imagine a car accident happening while people are walking on the sidewalk. There's always a couple women doing a high pitched screech out of shock. However I hardly ever hear men do it when it's almost gueranteed to trigger this response in women.
I think you've watched too many movies. If you're watching YouTube videos you may just not realize that those are full grown men finding new octaves in their vocal range.
What are you talking about? I'm not talking about YouTube at all. I'm speaking from personal experience. Wonen tend to do a little squeal when startled. Men usually don't.
Are we talking about being startled or things like car accidents? Because I'm a combat veteran and I guarantee you that you will ask the medic for your mommy as they're giving you morphine. I guarantee you men yelp when shit surprises and hurts them. It's an automatic response. And this entire charade of innocently asking why on a false pretense can fuck all the way off.
Startled by something happening around them. My example was a car accident happening somewhere in the same street, like one car hitting the other at slow speed.
You maliciously assuming there is a different motivation behind my comments is what's the actual problem here. I see people acting like this all the time, thinking in extremes like everything is either black or white, no gray areas. Not giving others the benefit of the doubt. I can tell you this is what's wrong with the world. All this tribalism and taking everything as an insult or an act of malice. People like you can go fuck right off.
It's not tribalism. It's just your misogyny being shown the door.
Again, assumptions from your side. Bye.
