What Did She Mean

He is a man, so he could be dangerous.
This statement jerks at my brain.
Does this mean women cannot be dangerous?
Does it mean a grizzly bear is not dangerous?
Has every man she has ever met been dangerous?
I walk quickly past her, pretending I am not eavesdropping.

I can relate to this one, Caren. Sometimes I hear things that make me cringe, but I just have to keep moving on.

I have dog ears; it is weird what I hear
