A female camper was victimized by a man who maliciously picked on her while she was camping solo.

The Japan Solo Encampment Association (male) addressed male campers regarding this incident,

It's just as well to think that men are to women like a combination of a cockroach and a hyena divided by two.

I said, "Exactly!" I said sympathetically.

I once returned home to call my wife when I found an elementary school girl dawdling near a nearby traffic light intersection around midnight.

In terms of my mentality towards girls, and also socially, I am aware that I am 'like a cockroach and a hyena added together and divided by two.'

It is frustrating that "immediate protection is not possible," but unless there is a life-threatening emergency, "' men are like a cockroach, and a hyena added together and divided by two is a good rule.

When I was solo camping on my motorcycle, I was terrified of the person who pitched his tent next to me.

We were camped a few kilometers from the nearest house, and there were only two tents, including mine.

If the person in the tent next to me attacked me with the intent to kill me, I would never survive.

However, at this point, I remember I was a bit relieved to see a book that had fallen into the tent next to mine.

I believe it was Natsume Soseki's library.

Of course, there are murderers who read books by literary greats -- however, I was surprised to find myself a little relieved by such a trifle.

If it had been a sports newspaper or a popular entertainment magazine instead of Soseki, I would not have slept a wink.
