I've always thought if shtf and it gets really rough it might be better to blend in with the men and not attract attention as a woman. Ladies, could you shave your head, wear men's clothing, and go without makeup if things get really bad? What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it would help?
If I felt like I was in real danger I would do it without a second thought. I think one of the keys to survival in several different scenarios is not drawing attention to one's self. This applies, unfortunately, especially if your female.
 
I'm afraid I have as much doubt on the goodness of human nature as you do. I know there are lots of good people in the world, lots are on this site, but if things get really bad and there is no fear of consequences, there are lots of really rotten people out there. Many who only respect a harsh hand.
I couldn't agree more.
 
My wife has some certain uh....assets that would be hard to hide, but from a distance wearing a baggy sweat shirt she could probably pull it off. She'd have to cut her hair short and put it under a hat too.
 
Same here, 2 out of 3 of the women in my household are DD's, with the 3rd a C, so not the easiest to hide. So, they can't exactly play that game. Come to think of it, the other gals who would be coming here with their hubbies...are pretty endowed as well, so not a tactic they could use easily. Then again, we'll have enough numbers and weapons to where it shouldn't be a big deal.
 
On the flip side though, if a gal knew how to fight, she could still be feminine and use this to have folks underestimate her until she laid them out in a fight. Still though, I don't look forward to how animalistic some men are likely to be without any rules of society in place. Crimes that we would normally not even fathom would instead become commonplace. Still the scariest part of any doomsday scenario....what survivors will do.
 
I agree with you, Gazrok, but in the beginning of it all it's probably safer to cross-dress until things settle a bit. Fortunately, it does not take a lot of effort to go as a guy if it's practiced beforehand.

That's my thought at least.

It might be done.

Interesting story that is relevant to this thread:

Apparantly, in the 19th century, there was a British army surgeon with a distingushed career of heroic service to Her Majesty.

Upon the death of this surgeon (James Barry), the autopsy revealed that she was a woman.

Evidentally, this woman passed herself off as a man to become a physician since women weren't allowed to be doctors...and had an entire military career, and died with her secret intact.

She was the first surgeon to perform a c-section where both mother and child survived, and made many other valuable, life-saving contributions to medicine.

I think it would make a great historical movie.
