Letter Re: Moving Females in SHTF Scenario

06-04-2014 • Survivalblog.com

On one level, I was a little surprised that we needed special handling but agree that there are predators who do look for the most vulnerable victims out there, whether it's TEOTWAWKI or not. I think my concern is that if someone is attempting disguise and the expectation is conveyed to them that they will be more vulnerable, it may pump up the fear level in them and that fear will show. I don't think it is all that easy to truly disguise a female as a male, as we tend to have smaller and more delicate physical features. It's also difficult to disguise a woman because of how she sits and postures herself. Many men will spread their bodies out to take up more space around them. We've all seen men who will spread out their arms across the back of an arm chair, spread their legs, and lean back. Women have often been taught not to spread out their legs and tend to keep their bodies a little more closed up, even crossing their legs.
