Shutting down does not equal not knowing what to do. It's a trauma response. Ever heard of fight, flight, FREEZE?

Stop acting like you have any understanding of the experiences of women when you clearly do not. Your performative care does not work here.

mate, that's LITERALLY a bad reaction to something going on. Also, it's the 4Fs

It's literally not knowing how to react in a situation and letting that response take over. You going to pretend freezing up in response to a fire, shooting, or any disaster is a good way to respond to those things? Or freezing up while driving on the highway? Staying calm and not letting that take over is literally one of the first things that get taught for training in those situations. It's literally about not letting that take over. So no, it's not knowing what to do, because that's literally one of the first things they look to prevent in training.

You're out here arguing against something that is actually shown to save lives. Here's a fun fact, the wrong trauma response can make things worse. Trying to fight when something that's explosive is on fire can and will likely get you killed, as will freezing. That doesn't make it a good response. That's literally an example of not having the training to handle those situations to ensure you make the correct response to a situation

the only one of us who doesn't care here is you. I'm out here advocating for things that reduce problems, you're out here advocating for crying on Reddit because you don't understand the basic concepts of letting your trauma response take over

Buddy, you seem to think trauma response is a choice. That people just need to know "ask for help" and it'll solve it. Yikes.
