Flight, fight, freeze, or fawn are all involuntary reactions to being in danger.
Yes and no. There are involuntary reactions in the face of danger (like increased blood flow, muscle tension, dilated pupils etc.) but people don't start fighting involuntarily. Maybe you're confusing it with startle response which is involuntary? In fight-or-flight response there's a moment of assessment (hence dilated pupils, to let you see better) and the response is a conscious one. People don't involuntarily get up, grab a beer bottle and advance threateningly towards danger as part of fight-or-flight.
Now you can call me a misogynist for thinking that people remain conscious in dangerous situations.
