I see you like playing the victim. Hyperbole can be used to highlight an issue. And that’s what I see the “I’d rather meet a bear in the woods” statement as. It’s not to be taken at face value, but rather to highlight a serious issue. If you get butthurt over something like that, you might consider that you are part of the problem. I am a man and I find it ridiculous to feel insulted over this. Of course most men don’t harm women at every opportunity. But there’s enough of this kind of man for many women to feel unsafe in many situations. Why can’t that be addressed without everybody going up in arms?
“Why would a man who is black/Muslim/immigrant be insulted over women claiming they would rather be with a dangerous wild animal than with him? How could that have any national policy implications?”

But it’s not just men of colour who are insulted. Stop trying to make this about race.
