Re: The gift of fear

Eh... I think that's an oversimplification. There is a lot to be said for that book's lessons on situational awareness, understanding and analyzing your own instincts, and stuff like that. What concerns me is when it's used as justification for unhealthy behaviors or habits; caution taken too far becomes paranoia, awareness taken too far becomes a persecution complex, and so on.

Then, too, some folks like living in, effectively, a role-playing game where they're under constant threat from forces all around them. You see this in right-wing fantasies about the constant threat of the Antichrist or the U.N. or whatever. I think the constant threat of 50% of the population being male is the Tumblr equivalent of that, if that makes sense.
