If so, some kind of free range female adulting advocacy could be warranted in cases where women are limiting their lives in fear of a danger that is very unlikely. Obv not in cases where the fear of attack is realistic. And in either case, focus is still needed on reducing danger

Do you mean an odd focus on the worst that could happen, like worrying? I do a lot of those things automatically and wonder why. Basic safety, I guess. I don’t actively worry, but yes, worrying about safety drives my habits. Then again, doesn’t everyone lock the doors at night?

It's a hypothesis to explain why we are being so much more protective of kids now than 20 years ago due to the psychological problems this is argued to cause when kids aren't allowed unsupervised play and risk-taking and independent decision-making. A decrease in resilience.

> I have already given the reason for this phenomenon. When all conditions are unequal, no inequality is so great as to offend the eye, whereas the slightest dissimilarity is odious in the midst of general uniformity;
