Bear attacks are incredibly rare. Even brown/grizzly bears just want to be left alone, the only bear that actively hunts humans are polar bears. If you’re attacked by a grizzly, it’s because it thinks you’re a threat, not food. Now, true, if you do piss off the bear, then you’re probably fucked. So I’m not saying bears aren’t dangerous, but that their level of danger can be predicted and avoided to at least an extent.
You can’t really say that about people. Most men are good people and would help you, so on average they’re safer. But unlike bears, you have to ask, “what if they’re one of the bad ones?”, especially so if you’re alone in a forest with them without the punishment of society to deter them. I mean, 1 in 6 women in America have experienced either attempted or successful sexual violence, and again, that’s in a society where they can actually get punished for it. So it’s not exactly a statistical anomaly that the man you’re stuck in a forest with is a bad actor.
If women encountered as many bears in their day to day life as they do men, I’m sure the number of deadly bear attacks would be much higher than the rate of assault from strange men.
It’s stupid on so many levels. Statistically, you’re far more likely to be murdered by a woman than be attacked by a shark. But no one is going around saying that sharks are safer than women.
I think a big thing this illustrates is how many people have no idea that wild animals can be dangerous.
I think a big thing this illustrates is that, the fact that some people even consider bear means many people have no idea that women have been trained to treat any strange man as dangerous. Either through society or past experiences. Either way, that’s fucked up.
Black bears, sure, probably. Brown bears are fucking dangerous.

We knew women view men as suspicious. That’s totally fair. Hell, I view men as suspicious.
We didn’t realize so many women were so absolutely stupid.
You’re the bear.
“Anyone who disagrees with me is one of the people I’m attacking” is one of the oldest and shittiest arguments of mankind.
FTFY.
You must be one of those men no woman wants to be around. Christ you’re annoying.
You must be one of those men that make women say “bear”.
That’s what I just said, fuck are you seven? Are you allowed to be on the internet?
