More empathy is needed on both sides. If you don’t understand how being told that women think that you’re more dangerous than a bear could be inflammatory, then you’re just as lacking in empathy as the people who don’t understand that enough men are so fucking shitty that many women would choose bear
I’m not, I’m just stating how a good amount of people clearly think. It’s unfair to be so aggressive to what’s a reasonable reaction to an inflammatory question
It is insulting though. It being true doesn’t make it less so. You can communicate the truth in such a way that it doesn’t alienate potential allies, and create potential enemies
Okay? That’s just not true though. I’ve convinced people in this thread that were vehemently anti-bear to agree with the actual point behind the issue, “enough men are shit to women, that they’d choose bear”.
It’s just a little understanding that using an insult/inflammatory statement like this, then using the post title to charge it further can cause knee jerk reactions in people.
Hell a good amount of the anti-bear crowd are women. It’s unfair for you to expect the majority of men to be as emotionally developed as you are when a good chunk of women don’t get it either
But also it’s a taking point question, of course it’s gong to spark debate snd memes, it’s silly to say that only one side gets to make jokes or have feelings.
I don’t get it, what’s to be mad about? Please pick the bear and leave me alone at my campsite.

You are an individual! You do not need to make this general question about yourself! Gahh, it’s like trying to talk to myself 10 years ago.

You know what’s more insulting to me as a man? The fact that one out of every six women will be sexually assaulted.
Being told that women are afraid of men isn’t insulting; it’s reasonable.

If being told that your gender is a threat makes you an enemy you were never going to be an ally in the first place.

I think I came off a bit too abrasively, but I was trying to make the same point as you, and missed that parent comment was a joke 🤦
Apologies, it is clearly a joke now that I look at it again
