Men Less Afraid of Flying Than Women, Survey Shows

Steve writes "This story
from the Associated Press
reports on a recent poll showing that women are much more likely than
men to be afraid of flying in airplanes. The AP poll found that 6 out of 10 women are bothered by flying, as compared to 3 out of 10 men. 27% of women said they are "afraid" of flying, while only 10% of men said they are afraid. I'd be interested in the thoughts of other Mensactivism.org members about: 1 - Reasons for the gap between men's fears about flying and women's fears about flying, and 2 - The policy implications of this difference, if any."
