Ladies! Lock down your lair!

A woman was asked whether she would prefer to be alone in the woods with a bear or a man, and she answered the bear. Other women who were asked this question overwhelmingly chose the bear.

Sadly, regarding the “man or bear” conversation, too many men were offended, got defensive, and spewed nonsense. Their comments proved why women felt safer with a wild animal. Only a few men understood or tried to understand why, asking what they could do to make women feel safer around them. In the meantime, while this conversation continues, we ladies must do our best to keep ourselves and any children or animals we may have safe from our biggest threat - people. Especially men.

This relates to prepping in a very important way regarding single moms and solo women - personal security.

One common denominator for many women when it comes to finding a man attractive is whether or not we feel safe with him. If you were once part of a couple and felt that with them, being alone and not having that person who has your back, that strong man who would protect you, can be lonely and a little scary. You should not give in to fear and loneliness. Don’t run out and get into any old relationship to try and get that feeling back - it may backfire horribly. You can be a single woman and proactive regarding your personal safety. You have to be your guardian, especially if you also have children to protect.
