Yes. Chilling validation of point made by Margaret Atwood, quoted in recent article on PBS on “A Woman’s Worst Nightmare”: A woman’s worst nightmare? That’s pretty easy. Novelist Margaret Atwood writes that when she asked a male friend why men feel threatened by women, he answered, “They are afraid women will laugh at them.” When she asked a group of women why they feel threatened by men, they said, “We’re afraid of being killed.” http://www.pbs.org/kued/nosafeplace/articles/nightmare.html
