For some people being laughed at is worse than death. Silly, I know. People are weird about these things. But some fear the painful rejection of embarrassment.
It's an interesting factoid. Don't believe its true. Since, I think it is in of itself based on stereotyping. We argue - of course that makes sense, men are stronger than women, they can kill us, we can't. Yet, there are quite a few men who are killed by women. There are women murders and serial killers. But again we say that statistics prove that men are more likely to than women, men have the physical capability. And I wonder sometimes...how much of that is true and how much of that is stereotyping.
