    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.

      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
