Happy Friday! Today we are staying home and getting some yard work and house work done. Bit has been on vacation all week, so that’s been nice. We’ve had some days of going out and about and being busy, and some days of staying home and chilling.
So there is a new tictok challenge out right now, would you (or would you want your daughter/sister, etc) to be alone in the woods with a bear or a strange man? Most women are choosing the bear. A lot of dads are actually choosing the bear. Some men are *really* outraged and angry that women are choosing the bear.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

Most women are saying, a bear with do one of three things, they’ll run from you, they’ll ignore you, or they’ll kill you pretty quickly. A strange man in the woods, maybe he’ll help you. Maybe he’ll ignore you, maybe he’ll kill you, or maybe he’ll rape you, or torture you.
Other women are saying “if I am attacked by a bear, no one will ask me what I was wearing, or what I’d had to drink.” “If I’m attacked by a bear, people would believe me.” “If I’m attacked by a bear, no one’s going to say I shouldn’t press charges because it would ruin the bear’s life.”
Women aren’t saying they would rather not be with *any* man in the woods. They are saying that they wouldn’t be able to tell if a stranger was being nice to them to get them to let their guard down and manipulate them, or if they really are trying to be helpful. It’s not *all* men, it’s that there’s no way to know which man we’re in the woods with.
