The team tethered the crustaceans to posts at varying times of the year and at varying depths of Maryland’s Rhode River, a tidal estuary in Chesapeake Bay. After about 24 hours, the researchers would look for signs of predation—basically, if the crabs were dead or injured.

Sometimes I can't tell if these animal studies are conceived based on actual scientific necessity or someone's torture fantasy that happens to provide some useful info.

I don't think this issue is reflective of American gender wars in particular. I can think of dozens of countries I'd be way more terrified of being in a car alone with an unknown man as a woman. I've never had a bad encounter with any uber drivers in the US, but I have heard directly from drivers that drunk riders can be a fucking menace, so I don't mind if female drivers would rather take their chances with drunk women vs drunk men.
