Shark!

Oh dear, Matt Damon. Sit down, and I’ll explain what you’re getting wrong.

(Keep your knees together, don’t lean forward, and be constantly aware of your posture, and proximity to others, you wouldn’t want to bait anyone into thinking you were making an invitation.)

I’m minding myself not to us/them, the biological fact that I store my reproductive paraphernalia in a relatively difficult-to-kick location should be immaterial, we’re all just meat-no-one-eats, all just human flotsam and jetsam in a big old sea of people-soup. The fly in the soup is preachy mostly-men telling anyone who will listen that #NotAll men are sexual predators. We know, you cretinous croutons. We’re perfectly well-aware that the postman, the delivery driver, the man on the till at Tesco, and the bus-driver aren’t dribbling, penis-led imbeciles who are intent on doing us sexual harm. We do not have the time to make a ‘Well Done!’ certificate for every person we’ve ever interacted with that hasn’t made unwanted advances. Congratulations and well done, most of the world’s population have never been eaten by a shark, if anyone wants me, I’ll be over here, congratulating all of the sharks that don’t eat people.

Hang on, if I’m busy congratulating more-sharks-than-not, I won’t have my eyes open for the sharks-that-might.

On the very rare occasions that a person is attacked by a shark, my usual instinct is “That’s what sharks do.”, some-sharks, #NotAll sharks etc. I’m in the UK, we don’t have dangerous sharks, as far as I’m aware. Other places around the world do have potentially dangerous sharks, and they have systems and processes in place to reduce the risk of people being eaten. To reduce the risk, it can’t be entirely eliminated, while-ever people choose to enter the shark’s environment. (Good grief, I’m now ‘grading’ shark-attacks, I’m wondering if the psychological trauma of being bumped by a dangerous shark and surviving would have more lasting emotional effect than actually being attacked, and having a scar, and medical treatment. I’m Matt Damon. I’m Matt Damon for suggesting there’s a spectrum of shark-attacks, and Matt Damon because it’s virtually impossible that I’ll ever be attacked by a shark.)

People are not sharks, I can’t claim we’re ‘more’ evolved, just differently-evolved. Some sharks are apex predators, they’ve had no reason to mutate through natural selection, top of the chain suits them fine. Sexual predators are mutants, there, I said it, it’s not ‘normal’ behaviour to assume that, because you’re ‘bigger’, or ‘more powerful’, you’re entitled. We teach our children that from a very early age, because we’re not Neanderthals, the majority of us learn not to take toys or sweets that belong to other children. We teach our daughters how to avoid sharks. (I have no daughters.) That’s what Matt Damon will never understand, because he’s never BEEN a daughter.

Most-men don’t have the lived experience of ‘watching for sharks’. Most-women do. It’s not as linear as a flag of a certain colour on a beach, or a klaxon and speaker-announcement telling everyone to get out of the water. (Again, I’m in the UK, my knowledge of shark-alert-systems is based on the ‘Jaws’ films.) It’s far more subtle, and difficult to navigate, because sharks are very good at being sharks, and sexual predators are very good at being sexual predators. A shark can smell blood from however-many miles away, and a sexual predator can sense vulnerability in the same way. Sharks are bigger, faster, and more bitey than people; generally speaking, males are bigger and more powerful than females in the human species. (Ridiculous design, females, with our smaller pelvic cavity endure childbirth, squishing an entire skull out of a gap it’s too small to fit through, babies heads sort-of ‘fold’, with their unfused skull-plates, no wonder they cry so much.) 

That’s a bizarre side-thought, how we ‘teach’ our offspring to respond to touch and voice, and then have to un-teach it further down the line. Some-touch good, shark-touch bad. 

Most of us know that touching sharks is generally a bad idea, especially the massive great big bitey ones that would rip lumps out of us given the chance. Now, I’m not being shark-racist, but I have very limited first-hand knowledge of sharks, I could probably tell a great white from a hammerhead, or one of those gormless-looking nurse sharks, I’ll just stay out of places that are likely to have sharks in them, to be on the safe side. I’m not going to book myself one of those ‘extreme’ holidays, and be dropped into the sea in a cage, if it’s all the same to everyone else, I’m caged-enough as it is. That’s what some-men, and Matt Damon don’t understand, the entrenched-protective behaviours.

If there’s a ‘shark’ flag flying on a beach, and you decide to go in the water, congratulations, you have the risk-perception of the average four-year-old, who has been told 17 times not to climb on ‘that’, because they might fall off and hurt themselves. The four-year-old thinks “Yeah, but I might not.”, then they fall, and hurt themselves, cry a bit, and do it again, until they correlate the warning with the injuries. Most of the time, there’s no flag until after the water has turned red, though, there might be a shark, or not.

That might-be-shark is what most men don’t have to process all of the time, like most women do. We’re in permanent chain-mail over-suits and cages, because a shark is going to do what a shark does if we don’t take measures to protect ourselves. That’s what most men don’t have to put any thought into. Yes, I suppose that statistically, more men are victims of physical violence than women, but there’s the under-reporting element to that, and the fact that most-women tend to avoid environments where physical violence is likely. That’s considerably more easy than avoiding unwanted sexualised attention. Might-be-sharks shout lewd comments at us in the street, and press against us in public places. ‘Everybody’ knows the tip to punch a shark on the end of the nose, and ‘everybody’ knows that a knee to the knackers would have a similar effect on a male-human. I suspect that most of us don’t punch-or-knee in the moment, fair play if you do. That’s an element of Matt Damon’s spectrum again, the tedious mundanity of not-smiling when random men ask us to, not exposing our breasts on request to construction-site workers that don’t have the ‘considerate construction’ badges on their scaffolding, moving further down the bus, or train when someone is encroaching on our space. Small sharks? Manageable sharks? A normalisation of shark-infested waters is what it is, and we don’t want it.

If Matt Damon Google-searches tradespeople coming to sort out his heating, it will be for reliability-reviews, he won’t do it so he can locate them on social media if ‘something’ goes wrong. If Matt Damon has to use a taxi, he doesn’t have to factor-in using a vetted company that sends you a text-message with the driver’s name and licence plate. Matt Damon doesn’t have to screen-shot that message, or forward it to trusted friends. Matt Damon probably hasn’t seen the social media post about taking a photograph of your taxi-driver’s photo-ID, and refusing to get in the car if they won’t let you. I doubt that Matt Damon uses busses, but, if he did, I don’t think he’d ‘know’ to sit as close to the driver as possible. Matt Damon probably doesn’t walk home with his keys between his knuckles, or have a chuffing Biro in the back pocket of his jeans, ‘just in case’. Circling sharks, and, because the sharks are completely happy being sharks, we women invent these laborious strategies to reduce the risks of mistaking a perfectly friendly cartilaginous fish for one of the bitey ones.  

We know that not all men are potential rapists, and that most of them aren’t, in fact, going to jostle themselves off into a potted plant to demonstrate that they can. We also know that we’re statistically more likely to be sexually assaulted by someone ‘known’ to us than a stranger-in-an-alley. Factor that in, Matt Damon, not only avoiding dark alleys late at night, but also having that edgy-dread about a friend, a colleague, or, worse still, your boss, ‘trying it on.’ 

We’re encouraged to be polite and well-presented, I’ve opted out of both of those behaviours, a conscious choice, to have a ‘prickly’ personality, and spend most of the time looking like I’ve dressed myself from the discards table at a jumble sale. That’s deliberate. No amount of CBT is ever going to unpick that, it’s one layer of my defence mechanism, to reduce the risk of ‘mis-steps’, or ‘unwanted hugs.’  I can’t see me ever changing that, because some nice-girls, some pretty-girls, some quiet-girls might as well have ‘Chum-bucket’ on a post-it note on their back. I’ve long since passed the point of looking for a potential mate, or life-partner, so I choose to present myself as ‘unavailable’, I’m perfectly happy ‘left on the shelf’, my life is less complicated with a lack of aesthetic-approval searching in it. 

We know, Matt Damon. We know that the vast majority of people aren’t going to attempt to take advantage of the gender power imbalance for their own sexual gratification. Unfortunately, we also know that some will, and we take all of these steps you don’t ever have to contemplate, to ensure that we have a chance of escape before the dorsal fin, or other protuberance, is right on top of us.

China is now the fastest growth market for the European travel business and with the fitting approach, inns, B&Bs, outlets and attractions throughout Europe stand to win large income from this newly opened market. This reaction to Europe is just not unusual from Chinese language vacationers who are used, in their very own country, to excessive commonplace resort lodging at low costs, clean and fashionable transport methods and really low crime charges. Visas: You will want a Chinese visa with the intention to travel in China. You'll have to apply on your personal visa at the Chinese language Visa Application Service Centre (CVASC). cheap flights going to manila philippines A single entry Chinese visa will value you round £60.

Each single time the tour bus stopped off at this jewelry store as a ploy to make the tourists purchase some jewellery. It is a type of conditions have been you might be compelled to get off and go into the shop and the whole environment forces you to take a look at jewelry while you'd relatively be looking at fish. The tacit strain is on for you to make a purchase.

One factor that is helping to drive down costs is competitors from inventive Chinese operators primarily based in Europe. These brokers are prepared to use informal networks of enterprise contacts that bypass lots of the regular necessities of group tourism. It's troublesome for an established tour operator to compete on price with a China Town agency supplying a mini-bus driven by an area waiter and until the Chinese tourists themselves demand more, this situation may not change. The excellent news is that we predict Chinese vacationers can be demanding way more very quickly. Shopping for garments in China could be nice enjoyable particularly from the markets where you possibly can often discover 'designer' labels at a fraction of the same old worth - but in fact these could also be of inferior quality. Additionally remember that clothes are often cut very small, and so you should think about shopping for a a lot larger measurement than you'll do at home. • Images: Taking photos is allowed in most places.

Even when loads try, nobody can mimic the distinct style of these dishes. No one can cook dinner them the unique Chinese means. Adventures and blood dashing actions will be executed by way of hiking adventures within the Great Wall, bike excursions and golf vacation in golf golf equipment of Sanya and Kunming and much more. The country has locations for nature loving individuals. These are where they might chill out and reminisce the colourful past of China through the beautiful mountain and backyard sceneries.

In some areas where the locals are used to vacationers, it is more accepted, but it's a good rule of thumb to get permission before taking a picture with someone in it. You might gesture along with your digicam and nod, when you get a constructive response, then go ahead. Afterward, you'll be able to present them the picture if in case you have a digital digicam.

Solely a sure variety of licensed travel agencies are eligible to operate worldwide outbound journey companies and, in 1997, there have been only sixty seven outbound journey businesses in China; by 2004, that number had risen to 528.

The next listing is my prime seven spots I'd prefer to see in China. I included the province of Tibet in the checklist, but exclude Taiwan websites from the listing - as Taiwan isn't part of communist China despite the parties one China policy. To keep away from political controversy let's simply say this record is the highest 7 of mainland China. Language: Mandarin Chinese language is spoken in most of China.
