New proof that I am indeed a woman just dropped 💅🏻
Take that transphobes !
This is what peripheral vision is for.
Yeah, peripheral is better to detect subtle movement in low contrast areas.
that location at BYU specifically is informally known as Rape Hill, so of course the women aren’t looking straight ahead
i know i’m very glib and i joke a lot, but i’m deadly serious right now.
What is a BYU study ? DDG returns a mormon thing
BYU = Brigham Young University. Famously mormon.
Thanks for the context
Something Something University?

I aggressively look every direction. Mine is 360
Is there anything about us that does not suck? I want to go a day without thinking the world would be better if we all died.
I don’t trust Mormon findings until they are peer reviewed.
Even if this was a conclusive study (sounds like there’s some issues there with selection and methodology,)….
This is probably because women are more likely to be harassed/assaulted/raped/mugged/etc.
Other vulnerable groups (trans, immigrants, etc) are probably are also scanning and maintaining better situational awareness.
It’d be nice to be able to walk down a street without making other people uncomfortable because men in general are less assholish than bears.
TIL i’m a woman
I must be a woman cause I too am always looking around. But I get why women have to do this. Same reason they rather run into a bear in the woods rather then a man. It’s fuck up but just proves as a collective us men need to do better.
Men and women also navigate differently. Men tend to navigate by direction and women tend to navigate by landmarks. I suppose looking around alot as a woman helps find those important landmarks.
I always wonder if women were the gathers becuase of how they navigate and look around, or were women the gathers becuase they could navigate by landmark and tend to look aound alot?
please do not get me started on how my mother gives directions she always includes turning at some animal. you know, those animate things that have lives and can move and not be there when i drive by.
it all started because she watched O Brother Where Art Thou and she thought “you will see a cow on a roof” was funny, and it was, and then she saw a goat with a hat on it on a drive to someplace and she was turning there and told everyone to turn at the goat with the hat. guess who was not there when everyone else was driving by oh gods i got started
Men are better at detecting motion. I would bet men are better at detecting motion in their perephiral vision too.
Right… peripheral vision in general is better at motion, but shit for details. It’s why sacchads happen seemingly at random; often something is signalled in the periphery, so the individual glances in that direction.
Factor in trauma x gender otherwise the data worthless.
Yeah I’m a guy who focuses so much on my surroundings. My trauma score is pretty high as well
Aware people look about. Unaware people don’t. But yeah, let’s divide it by gender.
I mean, there are plenty of studies and experiences that genuinely show women have not just a greater concern for their safety, especially at night, but are far more likely to be assaulted than men.
