i swear to god, men raising their voice is the most terrifying thing in the whole world. they dont understand, like its an immediate panic response, game over
I actually had no idea women found this so scary
my downstairs neighbors fight on a regular basis, and every time he starts yelling i’m a little afraid he’s going to kill her. i have no reason to think this except that he is a man and he is angry
My math teacher has a loud voice and a temper and he scares the living shit out of me almost everyday. He’s made me and other kids cry more than once and he and his teacher buddies make a joke out of terrifying students.
this was women in general? i knew my gf didn’t like it but I was unaware if this affected most women
Yes, it does
As a woman, I had no idea it effected other women like this. I was too afraid to even talk about it. I thought I was weak. Thanks for bringing attention to this.
I have absolutely no reason to believe that my brother would ever hurt me, but he does have a temper and yes, when he raises his voice, I do become completely irrationally tense and afraid, because he is a (very tall) man and a lot stronger than I am. Yes, this does bother most women, even those of us who have never experienced physical aggression at the hands of a man. It’s something ingrained in us from the time we’re very young. A loud man is a dangerous man, and unfortunately, statistics prove that we are not wrong to have this reaction.
