I don't think that's what it says. It says the likelihood of those three options is equal.
So that could be a one in a million chance of being Jack Ryan, a one in a million chance of being Jack Sparrow, and a one in a million chance of being Jack the Ripper.
You know, I never would have thought of that myself—until in a discussion about unisex bathrooms several women were concerned about being raped therein.
Obviously, that isn't meant to be taken at face value, but consider the underlying issue. Thanks to things like the availability heuristic, and the need to be prepared for worst-case scenarios (rape, death), women adopted a super-cautious stance. They have to suss out any hint of violent behavior and essentially treat every new guy as if they might be dangerous, even though they know that statistically, they're safe.
Of all the "men should do X" articles on the internet, this sucks the least. To those concerned about women seeing them as violent, I give you a text between a woman I dated and myself, a year or so after. This is the context of another woman saying she is scared of me.
Gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that the author of "The Definitive Book of Pick-Up Lines" and "Belligerence and Debauchery: The Tucker Max Stories," champion of the first amendment primarily by being such a jerk that he keeps getting sued and picketed by feminist groups, is maybe not the best source of information on what it's actually like to be a woman
I know Tucker Max has popularized "fratire"[0]. I see all of his works as satire. But is OP's post serious? Or maybe the post is satire and the rest of his work is serious.
I think the truth is that both are satire. And I have to admit it makes a lot more confortable with OP's post.
Is it possible that after writing such books he started to hear from women how they felt? That the world really is a dangerous place for ladies, and he was only making it more so? As the father of a teenage girl, I know I started the martial arts lessons early.
I loved the analogy of walking into the gay bar full of NFL players.

Jack World sounds like a pretty interesting place.
Poor Jack can't catch a break!

Other options are not mentioned.

It's frustrating as fuck, believe me. But it is what it is.
