Of course. Men are just not allowed to talk about it as much, and men aren’t believed (or are belittled) when they say they are afraid or something bad actually happens to them.
When I got my ass kicked in middle school, that wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was being made fun of for it afterwards, even by teachers, etc. There’s nothing worse as a man than being perceived as weak and an easy target. I think women have a lot of trouble understanding this.
Then I learned how to fight. The hard way.
But men seem fearless to women for these reasons:
1) Showing fear makes it so much worse for you as a man. Makes you into an insta-target for other men and even women. So we don’t.
2) We feel fear and do it anyway.
Women are allowed to express fear. Men are not. Simple as that.
