Why did a lot of women say that they would rather be alone with a bear than they would a man?

[Anonymous]

[Mr_Citizen]

Two reasons:

1. The loudest, dumbest voices on the Internet get the most attention. People being reasonable usually get buried beneath the nonsense.

2. It's an bad question designed to be both incredibly open ended and to play on the worse case "what if".

It's easy to see this because the moment you start clarifying the question, everyone's answers and reasoning start converging. Asking questions like how far away are they, are you close enough to touch, etc.

But instead, it's left open. So some people are able to imagine the worst possible scenario for the human and an average experience for the bear. And if that's your assumption, then sure. It makes perfect sense to choose the bear. Heck, even assuming worst case for both would leave the bear as a better choice. I'd much rather get eaten alive over the course of an hour than experience the worst thing a human can do to me.

Anyway, back to how I started. The what if.

This question is meant to show that a lot of women are afraid enough of men that their gut reaction is to imagine the worst case scenario. In doing so, it's meant to raise awareness. That's great and all, but the method is stupid. Hence why there's been so much arguing.

Besides that, I didn't walk away with this convinced that those women are right to be so afraid of men. Really, I became more and more convinced it was irrational paranoia.

Instead, I learned I should just not be alone with a woman. And that if I see a woman on her own, I should just walk in a different direction because seeing me would make her uncomfortable and feel unsafe.

So yeah, bad question. Maybe it just hits closer to home for me because I'm a big guy, so I'm already aware of how I need to be careful not to make people nervous. Like, I'll be going on walks in the evening and women will flinch when they look up and notice me. But yeah, this whole bear thing just rubs me the wrong way.

[Mr_Citizen]

Also, it's worth noting on that a big driving force behind men getting so offended by the question is that, like how the woman being asked is the woman in the question, the men tend towards subconsciously inserting themselves and/or guys they know as the man.

Of course, there's also just the general offensiveness of the question. Quite a lot see it as "pick the big and scary bear or the average guy."

[CriticalCatDad]

I think the point is to get people to discuss how dangerous men are. Which is obviously going to get on men's nerves. Women who say they choose the bear believe men to be dangerous and therefore hate men because they're viewed as dangerous. If more women choose the bear it proved that all women hate men

[WisdomOfNancy]

The question does not make sense. The Bible tells us not to respond to foolish people and their commitment.

[1Rezz]

@CriticalCatDad
It doesn't mean "women hate men"💀 have u ever thought that the worst a bear can do to u is kill u...
Like humans can be monster, keep in mind i said "monsters" not "animals*
A monster does and will always do worse, than an animal could.. animals kill.. and generally not torture u to death unless they're a chimpanzee ofc..
I'd prefer a human over a chimp
But a but a bear over a human

[CriticalCatDad]

Honestly I fear women more than I fear bears. Bears you can do something about if you're a man. Women can easily destroy a man's life.

[Mr_Citizen]

@CriticalCatDad I understand what you're saying, but you're wrong. If we're talking an adult bear against an unarmed human, the human dies like a chump every time.

[handsomelad70]

@1Rezz Don't recall any bears raping women.

[Astarlessnightsky]

You have to ask that question the women who participated.

But some answers i heard were:

"If the bear attacks me, no one will ask what i was wearing during the attack"

"The bear will leave scars and people will believe me"

"The bear won't film the attack to share with his friends"

"I won't have to see the bear again at family reunions, year after year"

"The bear won't whisper in my ear, don't tell mommy"

"The bear won't find my home to attack me again"

[SallyTho87]

Genuinely, I have no idea. I don't get this reference, or understand this "meme" or parody. I honestly thought it was a joke.
I have seen answers with reference to a tiktok creator who made a video of why women would choose Bear, rather than man. I haven't seen it myself. I have also seen comments, even below, referencing the OG video was a comparison about assault / sexual assault / abuse.

To be honest, I feel like this is pretty disrespectful toward the guys.

Basically admitting as a woman, I'd rather be confronted and in the presence of a wild, harmful animal that is unpredictable and could kill me in seconds, instead of being in the presence of a man. Which isn't true.

I thought this was a total parody / joke going around the internet, as it makes no sense to me at all why a woman would compare a bear to a human, to talk about assault.

[mandyfire98]

Because the original question was meant to focus attention on sexual assault and violence that women go through in their lives. It was an exaggeration on how women can sometimes feel when walking alone at night or how vulnerable we can be from time to time.

It's a question that was meant to raise awareness on that but the execution was very much flawed and silly and generalizing all men which is always wrong.

[Xia1994]

You put it so beautifully 💗

[WisdomOfNancy]

Women do just as much sexual assault as men, but our society allows them to get away with it. Society tells us women are gods; they are holy and pure; what a joke.

[mandyfire98]

Women don't sexually assault as much as men do and aren't as violent as men either. You can see that in real life on a daily basis really but it still doesn't change the fact that not all men sexually assault or sexually harass women.

[mandyfire98]

Society doesn't tell us women ate gods either lol. I've never been treated like a god in my life lol. I'll gladly be treated that way though. Just waiting on it. Anytime now I can feel it. Looking forward to that day.

[WisdomOfNancy]

Society tells us to laugh. Today, men are still listening to lies. When are you males going to wake up and see what's really going on?

[mandyfire98]

Who are you talking to? Lol. I'm confused. Me or men in general?

[handsomelad70]

Wouldn't that be "goddess," mandyfire98 ?

[MrOracle]

It's because those women have been thoroughly indoctrinated by radical feminists, especially those who went to college. Many of them don't even really believe what they are saying, but they know that they will get "canceled" by the left if they don't go along with the propaganda.

Some definitely DO believe that men do nothing of value in the world, even as they live in a world that was completely built and maintained by men, and where every single thing they have, from clean water and food to their designer shoes are completely dependent on men.

And, of course, if they are ever in real danger, they will be calling a man to save them. But they don't need men and would prefer to live in a world without them, or at least, that's what they say.

[goaded]

OMG, they might think that the 17 bear attacks since 2020 are far worse than the 100,000+ per year in the US alone.

[MrOracle]

@goaded First of all, this "100,000+ in the US alone" represents *maybe* 30,000 men, even if you take the statistic at face value, because many of those incidents are repeat offenders. And that's 30,000 men out of 165M men - meaning it's well below 1% of men. And if you understand anything about statistics, you'll understand that you are several orders of magnitude more likely to be seriously attacked by stumbling into a bear than stumbling into an encounter with a random man.

I should also add that over 50% of those "100,000+ per year in the US alone" incidents are with men CHOSEN by the woman. Sexual assaults by strangers is half as likely to happen as it is from someone known to the victim. To put it another way, a lot of women are CHOOSING to be with or around men who are unstable, amoral, and outright dangerous, and then are surprised when things go badly. And then they blame ALL men for what the very worst men have done, DESPITE other men warning them to avoid such men entirely.

If I choose to hang around known back robbers, and I end up getting shot or arrested and thrown into prison as an accessory, even if I legitimately wasn't directly involved, you'd tell me "that's your own dumbass fault." Well, that's essentially true for some percentage of these incidents. Obviously there are real situations where the woman did absolutely nothing wrong too - but that doesn't change the fact that some women knowingly take major risks, despite many warnings, and sometimes things go badly as a result.

[goaded]

So "only" 1 in 500 men are likely to rape you. Isn't that nice and safe. And if you "chose" them, then it doesn't count.

[MrOracle]

Compare that to 1 in 2 bears being likely to maul you - because that's what we are comparing here.

Do you honestly believe that women would ACTUALLY choose to face a 50% chance of a bear attack vs. even a 1% chance of rape (and it's not really that high)?

Near zero women actually faced with that choice would pick the bear. But a significant percentage of younger women LOVE to virtue signal their misandry that they were taught in their gender studies classes and reinforced by their radical far-left professors and all the club leaders. And you wonder why so many men are skipping college.

[WisdomOfNancy]

Women contribute over 50 percent of them being sexual assault. Sex is a weapon women and girls use on others. It is not just men and boys they do it with. They also do it with girls and women. Who do you think is behind girls or boys being sexually assaulted? It is the woman and her mouth. Who always has their nose in other people's sexuality? It is the women.

[dustybiker2]

Because the type of man who would ever attack a woman is mentally impaired. And if you are alone a bear is easier to scare away than if a lone man should he be someone dangerous.
Odds are the man is fine.
But odds are higher a bear would be scared away more often. A man would want to hang around. Make you a camp fire. Dry out his socks. He'd fall asleep on half your sleeping bag and eat your food... and you are stuck awake waiting for him to leave.


The bears would be neatly tucked away in the shadows gossiping about the scene.

[dustybiker2]

@sirderpsalot123 tell me I'm wrong

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker2 ok... there's some truth here. But in the event a bear attacks you, you're 100% fucked and if you did manage to survive, you're going to be horribly disfigured and the recovery process will takes years and will be torture.

[dustybiker2]

And rape does nothing to a woman? I'd rather have physical trauma from a bear. Emotional stress of not getting a full nights sleep turns me into a bear.

[sirderpsalot123]

But you have a chance of stopping that from happening. Men are human and we have weak spots. Running and hiding is also an option. You 100% cannot fight off a bear, run away from a bear, or hide from a bear.

[dustybiker2]

Ah... but I can tickle a bear.

[sirderpsalot123]

😂😂 I somehow doubt that would do anything lol

[dustybiker2]

You doubt me... I am an animal whisperer.

[DextroShade]

You can only scare off a bear if it thinks you are larger than it, meaning you only realistically have a chance of scaring off a black bear and even then I hope you are tall. You won't be intimidating grizzlies or polar bears and would get mauled.

[sirderpsalot123]

@DextroShade This is true. I watch a lot of bear attack videos and trying to intimidate the bear usually doesn't even work for men... and why would it? It's a fucking bear lol

[sirderpsalot123]

For grizzles, not black bears.

[dustybiker2]

@DextroShade that is simply untrue. Based on certain situations (outside mothers with cubs and after hibernation), and I am assuming deep wood bears would fall into the "cautious around human simple outsiders" traits... I have seen videos of house cats scaring off bears (and pissed at the people filming them and not protecting the cats)

[dustybiker2]

I think so to.

[dustybiker2]

*too ( admit points lost for spelling)

[Siri137]

Yet another question about this! :D This is really creating quite an online stir at the moment. Anyway, yes, I'm as befuddled as you are by those who answer with "bear". As I pointed out before, you cannot outrun a bear; he or she will catch you if you try. A bear cannot be bargained with, cannot be outwitted. They're in their element in the wild, it's their territory, and they know it better than you. If you stumble upon bear cubs and the mother is anywhere nearby, you're finished, kaput. Although a man will probably be stronger than you in a fight, you know his vulnerabilities (kick hard in the nuts); a bear will just make you into a snack, you cannot physically overpower a bear.

[WisdomOfNancy]

Something to think about: It's a fact that when a woman comes around where wildlife is, the wildlife takes off running to get away from that woman. Aminals know what female humans are. Now, many women like me do not put up with other women's junk.

[NamerOfStars]

Bigotry, a lack of understanding of bears, and a remarkably poor grasp of statistics. One way the US is unusual is that here, there's actually a form of violence (sex trafficking, if you're curious) which has more female than male victims.

Yes, more women are attacked by men than by bears, but that's because there are so few encounters women have with bears; proportionally, the picture is VERY different. Women have more to fear from a run-in with a panda than one with a man.

[WisdomOfNancy]

Women play just as much of a role in human trafficking. Mother and son incest in the USA is at 90%—boys in single-parenting homes, which is the mother of boys. The boys are in danger of being sexually abused by their mothers. Boys are victims of being used in human trafficking. Shockingly, many children born today are preteen or teen boys.

[NamerOfStars]

@WisdomOfNancy Well, more than half of all children born are boys, and I'd be both surprised and incredibly impressed if they were born as something OTHER than "preteen".\

But yes, there are indeed women among sex trafficking offenders- I was talking about VICTIMS, though. The bias against male homosexuality is still so strong in this country that we have virtually no bacha bazi equivalents here.

[Chazmatazz269]

Most of them probably didn’t put much thought into it. It’s a comical assertion that men are dangerously difficult to live with.
If you actually think about it, it’s true. A bear attack is without malice. If you know what to do and what not to do, you actually have a very good chance of surviving. Plus, most people don’t encounter bears frequently. It’s an easy threat to avoid.
Men, on the other hand, may attack with malice. So they’re much more likely to kill you even if you “do the right things”. Also men are pretty much everywhere women are. So if you survive, you’re likely going to be retraumatized every time you encounter a man, or at least fairly frequently until you learn to manage PTSD.
I’d pick a bear too, probably. They look so cuddly!

[Apple1996]

A man is more likely to attack a woman than a bear. And even if the bear does attack the worst thing that will happen is death. Not so bad compared to being taken by a man raped and tortured. Man is basically the most dangerous thing in nature

[Taylor22424]

Unrealistic answer.. You are not thinking it all through...

[Apple1996]

@Taylor22424 nah its extremely logical to avoid the man. Unless armed with a gun then I'd go after the man cuz it's easier to shoot down a man than a bear

[BarryLiverstone]

Is rape worse than death?

[Apple1996]

@BarryLiverstone in my opinion yes

[BarryLiverstone]

That is surprising to hear. Death is final and you are no longer living. If you have sexual activity while being drunk you would still be alive after.

Rape defined :

“unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against a person's will or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception”

[Apple1996]

@BarryLiverstone I think that's what many men don't understand about this question. They downplay rape into not being a big deal because for them often times it's not something they regularly fear. They fear death more often so to them that seems worse

[BarryLiverstone]

I also fear rape and would prefer not to be victimized. However dying seems much worse in my opinion.

[Apple1996]

@BarryLiverstone I would rather die then be raped. A life after that wouldn't be worth living

[Apple1996]

@BarryLiverstone lol love your new question 😅

[BarryLiverstone]

That is surprising. I’ve known victims of rape and absolutely don’t want to downplay how bad it is. However would think death is worse. Anyway I just created a gag poll. Rape or death. Feel free to vote.

And yes I understand one of the topics the original question touches on is fear and of course I agree that girls face more fears daily than guys do. That’s due to evolution.

[Taylor22424]

You are not thinking it all through... Unrealistic

This is emotional talking, not logic...

[Apple1996]

@Taylor22424 it's nothing but logic. Even a lot of men would choose bear over another man

[Filthy_Immigrant]

dude you been watching too much Gaspar Noe movies

[_piotr]

In my opinion death is far worse than rape.

[Apple1996]

@_piotr it's probably a privilege to think that way. With death at least after there is no suffering

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@_piotr yeah and its not like ALL men are rapists either. unlike bears who kill everything that moves by default

[Apple1996]

@Filthy_Immigrant not true. Bears are easily scared away a lot of the time. There are more rapes then bear attacks

[Filthy_Immigrant]

complete horseshit!

the reason why attacks from bears are rare is because not a lot of people are brave enough to camp out in the forest when bears are active

[Apple1996]

@Filthy_Immigrant people camp all the time with bears around. They just bring bear spray incase a bear approaches them. Men won't stop attacking if they've been pepper sprayed or injured by a weapon like a bear would stop

[Filthy_Immigrant]

yeah because we men are immortals huh?

like I said lay off the Gaspar Noe movies

[Taylor22424]

What you said is nothing but emotion...

You are not thinking it all through... unrealistic.

[Apple1996]

@Filthy_Immigrant I've never watched those movies... lol

[Apple1996]

@Taylor22424 y'all men are lacking empathy and missing the point of why women choose bear over man

[Taylor22424]

y'all are missing the point on why women who choose the bear over the man is not logical and all emotion... unrealistic

You aren't thinking this all through...

[Apple1996]

@Taylor22424 a man being a rapist and murderer is unnatural. That's man being emotional. Bears naturally attack if threatened. It's logical for them to do so.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

you sure? cause it sounds like you are a fan of that movie Irriversible

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@Taylor22424 apparently she thinks bears are like dogs. she doesn't know how predatory instincts work

[CriticalCatDad]

Hey hey hey she's not afraid to die why not let her?

[Apple1996]

@Filthy_Immigrant I haven't seen it. And I hate dogs lol. I'd be more trusting of a bear than a dog as well 😂

[Apple1996]

@CriticalCatDad with a bear sure

[Filthy_Immigrant]

yeah you're gonna wish it was a dog if you ever get confronted by a bear. I guess you been watching a lot of Winnie The Pooh as well

[Apple1996]

@Filthy_Immigrant I've been attacked by a dog before and I'd rather not go through that again. Give me the bear at least for a change up

[Filthy_Immigrant]

yeah smartass is that why you, me and a lot of people who have been attacked by dogs for some reason live to tell about it? but how many people you know who've been attacked by a bear and lived to tell about it?

[Apple1996]

@Filthy_Immigrant bears attack less than dogs

[Apple1996]

@Filthy_Immigrant and that's the point. Women would rather die then live with the trauma of a attack

[WisdomOfNancy]

I am laughing. We women are the same.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

again captain smarty pants, bear attacks less than dogs because you are less likely to run into one. bears live in the woods and as a bonus they hibernate during the winters.

dogs in the other hand are domestic animals that live among humans so of course your less likely to get attack by one. however how many people who've been attacked by bear have lived to tell about?

and wow you rather be dead then live with a fucking trauma? how pathetic! also lets not forget that you have a better chance defending yourself from a rapist then you would with a bear

[Taylor22424]

"Women would rather DIE then live with the trauma of a attack"

Are you hearing yourself? Along with your other comments, you clearly aren't thinking about this all the way through... emotional statements...

What's next? Do you believe in magic too? Do you think magic and logic are synonymous?

[Apple1996]

@Filthy_Immigrant

www.idausa.org/.../

[Filthy_Immigrant]

thank you! that article you uploaded proofs my point

[Apple1996]

@Filthy_Immigrant it doesn't proof your point. Bears are less harmful than a bee and a human

[1Rezz]

@Taylor22424 it's unrealistic in the sense that bear attacks are not common ontop of that there are more men than beats

That aside it is 100% true that the words the bear can do is kill, I'd rather have death by the fangs and claws of a bear, than by the hands of a man, cuz the man could for all I know keep me alive just to torture me...

[Apple1996]

@1Rezz exactly

[_piotr]

@1Rezz I think all that "rape is worse than death" and "bear is better than man" and "men torture women" are some form of scarecrows for radical feminists to antagonise women against men. I notice a lot off women nowadays have this rape obsession.

[_piotr]

@Apple1996
"@_piotr it's probably a privilege to think that way. With death at least after there is no suffering"

It is not a privilege, just a healthy mind.

[_piotr]

It is like with car accident, better to lose an arm or leg but live.

[1Rezz]

@_piotr "Men torture women" so do women,
Their misandry is really showing isn't is
It's thee normal women that have a rape obsession, it's the radical feminist (misandrist) who use it as a weapon against all men cuz "all men are aholes" to them ofc

As for sexual assault, the numbers are quite high, the ones who've been assaulted try to speak up agaibt it, the ones who haven't been assaulted are afraid if being assaulted. Women have always been afraid of getting assaulted.. unfortunately...
It's just now due to media ull hear more speaking about it, and because of how many speak up, it sounds like they have a rape obsession*

As some1 who speaks up about crime esp SA.. its because people believe most victims can fight when like 70% freeze, some believe ur clothes determine SA etc, yk rape culture

[1Rezz]

@_piotr not everyone thinks that, honestly.. some would prefer death for the things they believe in, some do kill themselves due to this system, I mean it's not surprising, everyone does process the world differently and for some their trauma messes them up so bad, the cliff is their last destination..

[Taylor22424]

@1Rezz You still aren't thinking this through... you would choose impending doom than to have a chance at life...

Women are very unrealistic, y'all aren't thinking logically...

I'm actually starting to see why women aren't allowed to control their bodies... Roe v Wade overturned because y'all don't know any better...

[Taylor22424]

"Exactly"?

Women don't know any better... that's why Roe vs wade got overturned...

Y'all aren't living in reality... unrealistic and not thinking things through... illogical

[Apple1996]

@_piotr some people would rather die then go without a arm or leg

[Filthy_Immigrant]

that's not what the article you posted says, dodo

[BarryLiverstone]

Don’t call her dodo

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@BarryLiverstone oh thats right dodos were way smarter than her

[BarryLiverstone]

It’s against gag rules..

Offensive – Our caring community does not support malicious content, people come to GirlsAskGuys to get help, not to get hurt. This includes posts that would be considered offensive to either a large group of people or attacks aimed at other specific members on the site. While we encourage lively debate, posts that antagonize other members are not allowed. Examples: “You’re an idiot.” “Go kill yourself.” “I want to rape and kill all women!”

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@BarryLiverstone 😂🤣😂🤣

[BarryLiverstone]

Why laugh at the rules? They could freeze your account

[CriticalCatDad]

I've reported people for offensive behavior and nothing happened to them so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[WisdomOfNancy]

Laughing, women are just as much able to do the same.

[PeachyPie93]

Clearly dumb and never ran into a grizzly in the woods before. I can handle a man much easier than I could handle a bear LMAO. No man scares me as much as walking in the woods at night hoping a bear don't get you lol.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/alR7NLDyPig

[pethouse]

It’s because a bear can’t rape a women. “The worst a bear would do is kill you” which is true but I’d prefer not to be killed by a bear considering that they will literally hold you down and eat you. Unlike a cougar that would go straight for the kill then eat you. But at the same time a man could do a lot worse if he really wanted too. He could kidnap bring you to his dungeon and do unspeakable redroom things.

[goaded]

Because a bear is predictable; they're never going to snuggle up to you and then eat you. The only sensible response to encountering a bear is to react as if they're going to try to eat you (appropriate reaction depends on the type of bear).

Men are a lot more complicated, and women encounter far more of them.

[Siri137]

"... the type of bear"
Would you know how to respond if confronted by a bear? When answering this question, most people just naturally assume it's a brown bear in the forest, but what about polar bears? As I understand it, they'll attack you regardless of any precautions you may take, or tricks you may respond with.
Bears are often NOT "predictable", and if they're hungry or protecting offspring, you're finished.

[goaded]

@Siri137 I looked it up. www.theguardian.com/.../what-to-do-bear-encounter-attack

[Ms_Facesitter]

I don't know. Depending on the bear, they'll be skittish or aggressive. Some do even mock charges. But I know too little about bears to risk it all and test those theories.. I've seen how fast grizzlies can run. And polar bears are Always hungry.

[DextroShade]

Because they are so indoctrinated into radical feminism and hating men that they would rather get mauled to death by a bear than spend time with a man. We are going to need a lot of bears; I read recently that Washington state is reintroducing grizzly bears so that should help considering a lot of those types of women live there.

[1Rezz]

Well the worst a bear can do is kill.. like literally.. a man can for all I know keep me alive just to torture me... the death from a bear may just be quicker and far more predictable than the man, a man has consciousness, if he wills he can do unspeakable things or finish u off quickly, ull never know

That aside on a general basis I'd rather stuck with a bear than a human

[HawkPerception]

The majority of men and I mean like 97% of men or more will not kill you. The fact that you'd rather be with a bear is mindblowingly stupid. And no. Being mauled is a very gruesome death. Bears don't finish you off quickly and you'd likely be fighting for your life. To think otherwise is delusional.

https://youtu.be/YVtJe2E8C8Y?si=uDFJ5Sn7y4qXIvR7

[DextroShade]

@1Rezz then you are a fucking retard who doesn't understand numbers or men. 99+% of would not hurt you and definitely not torture you, but most bears would probably eat you.

[Anonymous]

In a room of 100 men; you may have 1 man who attacks you but you’ll still have 99 who will not, some will even come to your defense. In a room of 100 bears; all of them will attack and try to kill you. And no bear has ever come to the rescue of a person.
That’s the whole point of radical feminism, to devalue and dehumanize men, and place them in a position lower than animals. Why do you think people use the term “femi-nazi”?

[Anonymous]

A lot of women have been attacked by men, but not by a bear. Bear attacks are pretty rare as you don't see them nearly as often, and even when you do they don't attack unless you scare or provoke them. Unfortunately this isn't true for a lot (NOT ALL) men.

[Nikki1989]

What @mandyfire98 said.

As usual, people, especially men, missed the point.

[SixFootSexy]

Women when they face the reality of their choices

I hear bears are also great with children, ladies.

[Ashley1993]

Because they love to act like all men are rapists. Maybe they think it sounds cool

[MemeMaester]

Oh yeah rape, so cool ✌️🕶️

[MasterKS]

@ashley1993 spot on.

[Goahead76]

Well said, I think you nailed it exactly.

[Dinklex3]

Well one. A lot of these women probably haven’t been face to face with an actual bear and not realize how scary it can be 💀

Two, I think their just making a point to show how scary strange men can be.

[patois]

I've faced down a bear alone in the woods while unarmed, had it roar at me and then turn and run past me... Not a great experience... I'm pretty sure most women would lose their shit and start screaming.

How did this question become a Featured Question on the Main Page?

It's posted anonymously, and is a ripoff of an earlier similar question.

[Samantha_Stevenson]

Because they are dumb AF to think a 500 pound carnivore is better than a random man

[Basement-Bum]

Because standing next to a bear makes a man look like a twink, and the woman fears he will be gae.

[Mr_Citizen]

They should be more worried about the bears! Big hairy gay men are called bears for a reason, ya know.

A lot of women are dumb. A bear would eat you because you are there. Most men (about 99.6%) would leave you alone and fiddle around on their phones or do something to stay occupied

[hahahmm]

Drama queens who ignore the fact that when they need help the call the cops and 99% of the time a man shows up to help them.

[1Rezz]

U say as if police isn't a male a dominated Jon kntop of that, said cops are humans and a lot of them have committed crimes like selling drugs, faking evidence, false arrest, sexual assaults...
What are u trying to prove here?

Yk when u call for a nurse u will almost always get a women. Why? Cuz that's a female dominated area💀
Tf was ur point

[hahahmm]

@1Rezz Everything you just said is pointless because as you say, "cops are humans". So are women. It cancels each other out. Drama queens need to choke on their own bs.

[PointlessNonsenseGuy]

Because a lot of women are sexually attracted to bears, even though they would never admit that they are.

[CriticalCatDad]

Wouldn't surprise me. I mean there are women who are having sex with dogs. Bears are just big dogs who can kill people if poked

[dustybiker2]

This is true. So cuddly.

[Daniela1982]

Because they know a bear would eat them when not all guys would want to taste her magic muffin.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

they're claiming that we men are more dangerous than bears. like if they are any different themselves

https://imgur.com/IQM3UAo. jpeg

[CriticalCatDad]

Maybe we men should give them an actual reason to prefer bears

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@CriticalCatDad pretty sure that's what they want. lets not make their dreams come true

[1Rezz]

They already have dear...
Humans are terrifying and if u're a women ure more likely to face gender based violence on a general basis ofc

Then again u must living under a rock
don't DARE speak for all men.. if u do then u're speaking for Ted bundy and all those dick heads who torture for no reason. Cuz last I checked they're men too.

Some would save ur life while another would end it, some act like all men are innocent

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@1Rezz if you live in the middle east, Africa or Southeast Asia that is, so dont talk to me about living under a rock.

and how the fuck am I speaking for a sick fuck like Ted Bundy? you do know Ted Bundy was 1 out of a billion right? also does this mean that is ok for me to assume that you speak for women like Jodi Arias and Aileen Wuornos? since they were women too?

"Some would save ur life while another would end it"

no shit! that's humanity for you, not just men.

"some act like all men are innocent"

ok is there a reason why INNOCENT men have to pay for what a small percentage of mentally ill men have done?

[1Rezz]

"there a reason why INNOCENT men have to pay for what a small percentage of mentally ill men have done?"
This can be applied for women aswell, I do get your point tho.
I only said this cuz the way u worded things made it sound like u meant "all" men😭

Tbh the bear question is genuinely so so weird, i find ppls reacting this negatively not to be a surprise (most people are quick to judge instead of trying to understand)
, it was meant to shine light on sexual assaults and why a lot of women fear men, due to the experiences they've had..

But then again it's not people understood that either -_-

As for when I said "one would save u and another would end u" I never specifically referred to men, There I was taking about humans on a general, although I probably should've made it more clear..

The least people could try to do is, to TRY to understand why some have irrational fears, perhaps trauma could've caused it? And is said trauma their fault?

"you speak for women like Jodi Arias and Aileen Wuornos? since they were women too?" No I do not , frankly I always try to get the point across that, women generally are seen as some1 who's not "capable" of committing SA, and they tend to get shorter sentences than men

Honestly what can we even do, this sexist system we currently live under, was created to do tho, the system hasn't *failed* anyone if anything its successful

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@1Rezz you sound so mentally challenged

"This can be applied for women aswell, I do get your point tho.
I only said this cuz the way u worded things made it sound like u meant "all" men"

no shit it implies to both genders, both genders have good and evil people but no I didn't pigeon hole all women as one like you did with men comparing us to ted bundy.

and yeah I do understand the illogical metaphor of how bears are supposed to be more harmless than men which they are not because not all men are rapists and alll bears are however gruesome predators.

and yeah the system is obviously a success if you are a woman. hence why so many men are just not bothering to approach women anynore

[Booklover_90]

In short, they don’t trust men and are tired of the BS they’ve dealt with from men.

[Xia1994]

That makes sense to be fair 😭

[OlderAndWiser]

Because they have never spent time alone with a bear.

[DishLady]

I’m fairly sure that I’d you MEET the man they have in mind you’d agree.

[CriticalCatDad]

Because they hate men and consider all men to be dangerous rapists. While I consider all women to be selfish privileged assholes

[CriticalCatDad]

What ever happened to women considering men to be similar to teddy bears now we're more dangerous than bears? The world really is taking a feminist turn...

[1Rezz]

Technically u potentially are more. dangerous than a bear, a beat wouldn't do unspeakable things, it'll simply kill me yk.. but a human? Nah some would torture u to the point u just succumb to ur wounds or completely loose ur sanity and I'm not even joking

[CriticalCatDad]

So all men are more dangerous than bears? Even the skinny weak adult male? Wow you women have gone so low with your overabundance of privilege it's starting to show

[Anonymous]

Women who said they would rather be alone in the woods with a bear than a man are either really ignorant or really dishonest.

[1Rezz]

How? U're just ignorant in this case.. the worst a bear can do is kill

A human for f sake could keep me alive just to see me tortured, but would a bear?

The difference is predictability, a bear is predictable while the human aint😭

[Opinion Owner]

@1Rezz So, you would rather be with a bear that would "predictably" kill you than with a man who is far less likely to kill or even harm you? I can see which of the two categories I mentioned that you fall into.

[jshm2]

There is no evidence that ANY woman actually said such a thing.

[Siri137]

You can find them on 'YouTube', so... nah, they did. Some people really are this stupid, unfortunately.

[jahaims]

They watch too much Disney and don't realize a bear with eat you alive and depending on the species they will kill for fun.

[CriticalCatDad]

Maybe we need to put women in a colloseum where they have to survive against a man riding a bear 🤣

[jahaims]

will eat*

[Anonymous]

Stupidity nothing more, nothing less.

If you use their logic, I'd rather have kids with some species other than women cause women have killed 15 million children this year alone.

[Unit1]

🤦‍♀️ what bullshit has the internet invented now?

[WisdomOfNancy]

I agree; you notice on social media that women love to insult and downgrade boys, young males, and men. One of the biggest things we females do is project ourselves onto you males as you are this or that to cover ourselves up.

[Unit1]

@WisdomOfNancy this says more about them than us

[WisdomOfNancy]

We females know what is going on. We just love how society tells us females are wonderful when we are not.

[handsomelad70]

@WisdomOfNancy My mother was the most wonderful woman I ever knew.

[LiamJHayden]

Societal conditioning. Also the generic "bear." Few are thinking of an angry grizzly protecting its young.

[In_Trance]

I'll be glad when this has passed. Few more days

[MrDaveAPSI]

Women think bears are less scary than a strange man

It's stupid, but, that's what they believe

[Shiningtempest]

I suspect a lot of women had an unpleasant experience with men at some point in their lives.

[Xia1994]

Yeah 💔

[Anonymous]

Maybe they'd love this

[goaded]

OK, I was going to fix the link, but it's bear eating a live bovine. With happy music, because the opinion owner is an asshole.

[Opinion Owner]

Why cause you're a simp and couldn't take it?

[goaded]

You think I should respond with a video of a woman being raped, with happy music, or what? Sicko.

[Opinion Owner]

My video had a bear and a bovine.. why are you watching raoe videos?

[Anonymous]

Maybe they like big hairy animals instead of a nice guy.

[Anonymous]

Because bestiality is the solution to everything (not)

[Iron_Man]

Well, my baby girl calls me a bear 🐻 😊

And they are right
