    Both the song and the comment you’re replying to are referring to an old quote.

    It’s attributed to Margeret Atwood, but she got it from somewhere earlier because she said, “I don’t remember where I first heard this simple description of one dramatic contrast between the genders, but it is strikingly accurate: At core, men are afraid women will laugh at them, while at core, women are afraid men will kill them.

    It’s one of those things that gets recycled a lot. It’s in the tv program about the strangler in Belfast.
