Irrational - being kidnapped and not having access to feminine products. Totally rational & terrifying- clowns.
Why is the last one the rational one while the first one is irrational?
Lots of people are afraid of clowns and I'm probably not likely to be kidnapped. Hope i didn't just jinx it.
Oh. I was thinking in terms of severity, though for me, commonality would be reversed too. I've no clowns to fear, but kidnapping has its history if you ask me.
I don't think the first one is irrational
I thought it was just one of those weird things to worry about until i read this. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2024/mar/05/my-period-has-become-nightmare-life-in-gaza-without-sanitary-products
