    In the worst case scenario of such an encounter, and I mean worst case scenario: As a woman I would rather be mauled to death and eaten by a bear than be raped, killed, raped again, shared with his mates and ultimately possibly eaten by a man.

      I’m all about personal choice. Please enjoy the nightmare of a bear mauling over just hanging out with a random person (if I even understand the question correctly–what the heck is even going on)

        But it’s hard to know which bear will run away when you scream at it, and it’s hard to know when a guy means well or not. I understand your point. But at the same time, from my own personal experience, I’ve had quite a few really scary and bad moments starting from age 10. And when your trust is broken, you can’t help but be hyper vigilant. I love good men, and I am so happy I have good men in my life now. But I won’t let my guard down anymore for other men because the risk is too high. It’s hard to explain this to someone who hasn’t had a creepy person trying to follow you home and been cat called when you’re a preteen kid by middleaged men or been tripped up on purpose by a 60 year old man for him to pretend to “catch” you while squeezing your 15 year old boobs. I can’t trust any more. I’m sorry. They let me down, and I need to protect myself. 😞

          I mean, that’s totally understandable. I completely get that. But there’s a much higher chance of a bear mauling you than a guy doing anything bad, surely you understand that, right?

            I hear you. But what if we are talking about worst-case scenarios. Let’s say both the bear and man wished me harm. I would choose the bear because with the ‘bad bear’, I would hope it kills me quick and eat me. But I fear the ‘bad man’ would do far worse than just killing me and eating me. If we can guarantee that both the bear and the man are ‘good,’ in the best-case scenario, then I imagine the man would be the better option! He would definitely be a better conversationalist anyhow!

            Unfortunately, it is difficult to tell if a human stranger is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ on first sight. Would they give you enough time to figure it out?

                There’s enough weird people out there. I am not giving anybody chances. The risk is too high for me. I don’t think that it’s because you don’t want to understand. I think it’s because you really can’t understand due to the difference in our experiences. I don’t know how to solve this so I will leave you to have a nice day!

        Dumbass, how many people you think been killed by a bear?

        In the United States it’s 180 people since 1785

        Meanwhile 1 of every 6 women has been victims of attempted or completed rape.

        Dumbass

          Fuck you. Why do the dumbest motherfuckers to drag their knuckles across this earth always think they’re the smart ones?

          How many bear encounters are there vs how many male encounters?

          If you saw as many bears in your day to day as you did men, you’d be fucking terrified of bears.

          I can’t tell what’s worse, women who pick the bear because they’re sexist assholes, or women who pick the bear because they are literally, literally too stupid to live.

            People live in bear country. There are tons of people who see bears daily. They ain’t out here with a 1 in 6 bear attacks statistic.

            Your fear of being labeled as a potential threat has fucked you up so good that your willing to call reasonable precautions against reality of the situation sexist. All because you are too much the man in the meme to have a conversation with a woman to begin with.

            Your complaint is petty, selfish, stupid and even in your best case scenario your still fucking wrong.

              No one - NO ONE - has as many random bear encounters as they do random male human encounters.

              Because the few who try end up eaten.

                All 180 of them since 1780 have ended up eaten. Fucking loony toons ass dummy right here. Your being presented metaphor in the form of a meme and trying to argue logic. It’s a metaphorical fucking meme you absolute clown. And even in your 100% logical ass take there’s still significantly more men attacks than bear attacks you fucking clown.

                On top of you inability to think about the subtext, you can’t even get text right.
