Flight, fight, freeze, or fawn are all involuntary reactions to being in danger.
Yes and no. There are involuntary reactions in the face of danger (like increased blood flow, muscle tension, dilated pupils etc.) but people don’t start fighting involuntarily. Maybe you’re confusing it with startle response which is involuntary? In fight-or-flight response there’s a moment of assessment (hence dilated pupils, to let you see better) and the response is a conscious one. People don’t involuntarily get up, grab a beer bottle and advance threateningly towards danger as part of fight-or-flight.
Now you can call me a misogynist for thinking that people remain conscious in dangerous situations.
Come one, “accusing”? It’s not like being you is wrong or something.
I hope you think of me every time you see a criticism of a sexist comment on the internet just as you did here.
It’s not as much about criticizing sexism as it’s about insulting everyone with a different opinion without providing any arguments or engaging in a reasonable discussion but yes, I will definitely think of you every time I see it.
You’ve made it clear that you think being compared to me is an insult.
While I appreciate deft’s approach in this thread, this is exactly how I know you’re boxing ghosts when you fight me. I don’t name call and I provide solid arguments backed up with sources when I’m not dealing with trolling behavior.
You know what? You’re right. I think I misremembered some of our interactions. You’re so much better at it than daft is. Sorry for comparing you to him. That was unfair.

I don’t need to say anything when you’re inventing my arguments against you and erroneously accusing others of being me.
