which gender would fare better in shtf type scenerio

[dakota port]

in an economic shtf that results in mass riots and complete anarchy with no to few police and medical services who will fare better males or females?

will physically fit, attractive females over the age of 16 be taken as serious a threat or asset as the males in a group if both are armed with firearms and survival skills?

which of the two people in the picture will be viewed as more important/desirable if you could only have one person with you shtf? (took a long time to find a decent picture Google image search has a dirty mind)(i chose the picture more for their physical features so they would be dressed more casual in my scenario) and which one would have a harder time surviving with the same supplies?

I'm pretty sure anyone is fair game when it comes to protecting your life and the ones you love.

I think during SHTF attractive ladies have a lot more to worry about than males... a sad fact.

Do you have to ask? Seriously? I want a brother watchin' my 6. Ladies are for lovin'. I know there are some bad**s gals out there, but their numbers are low. Just my opinion.

AGREED! my girlfriend is a good shot but if SHTF I want my shooting buddy backing me. I know he will not buckle under the pressure and do what it takes to make it out of the situation alive

I've always been impressed by women's diplomatic skills, and their ability to relate to other women without feeling threatened by them. That's an advantage.

Thanks for the chuckle! What age group are you referring to?

That's an advantage if women rule during SHTF otherwise. During SHTF a man isn't going to view a woman as his diplomatic equal. Women will need to be protected.

Bad / unavailable hygene tends to affect women much quicker (UTI infections, etc) health wise, and that can make little problems into big problem quickly.
