And I think men do that to a much greater degree than women.

Women tend to do the pre-planning thing.

They tend to plan, okay, who's even going to be dangerous?

Who can I predict that would be dangerous?

And men are a little more interested in the act of violence itself.

And I think that maps onto the kinds of violence that men and women are subject to, right?

Men are...

killed more than women by far in any kind of violence but women if they are going to be harmed tend to be harmed by someone they know really well which is usually in the case of a true crime story it's like a partner or a romantic interest or someone who's trying to get close to them

Men tend to get killed by people they don't know at all.

So they tend to get killed by strangers.

And that's true historically as well.

Battles and wars and bar fights today.

You tend to get injured or killed by someone you don't know.

That tends to be how fights are, right?

It's not someone you're like living with or someone you're best friends with.

It's like a rival or a stranger.

And so I think it simulates something that men historically have had to face, which is the danger of an unknown person or an unknown man.

In the case of that, also face-to-face violence as opposed to proactive violence.

Yeah, I looked into that story because I kind of knew about Mortal Kombat and the fuss it kicked up when it came out on home platforms.

It was similar to what happened when slasher movies came out.
