The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Why do women love true crime so much? I have a theory.

I always kinda wondered whether or not holding keys between your fingers would actually do anything if you punched someone, beyond just make them even more mad, especially as most people are not really trained in how to properly punch someone. I get the sense that a lot of other forms of self-defense would probably be better than that.

Maybe but keys are already convenient and no training. it’s about immediate options of a weapon. Still : the take away is that women have to think about these things a lot more than men which is very fucked up. So maybe give women a break if they are gonna be interested in something that eats up their existence this much as a form of anxiety. They wanna be safe. They want to understand the whale in their life. Can’t blame a person for that.

Well that was sort of my point, is that, despite the ease of access to this kind of idea, I'm pretty sure that, even just on the smell test, the "keys between the knuckles" strat wouldn't really work. It strikes me more as something that might feel good to do, something that might assuage the kind of, passive anxiety, rather than being a good preventative measure.

Also, what do you mean by "the whale" in their life? I've never heard of this metaphor before.
