Who do you think is in a more dangerous situation …


… a man who is the lone male among a bunch of women, or a woman who is the lone female among a bunch of men?

This movie got me thinking about such a question.

Here's a little scene from "Silence of the Lambs", in which Jodie Foster is visibly uncomfortable because she's sharing an elevator with all men.

None of them take any interest in her, yet she's still uncomfortable, and the same would not be true of a man in an elevator full of women.

A woman alone with a bunch of men, especially if it was a scenario like this where everyone is cut off from society.
