Alan Posener is a commentator and author for the daily newspaper “Die Welt”. He says: “It has been well said that men fear women because they might laugh at them, whereas women fear men because they might kill them. In this respect, as in many others, women's experience with men is similar to Jews' experience with gentiles.”
