    And the point of the statement isn’t that bears are literally less dangerous than men. It’s to show how

    Nah fuck that. If I say “all women are bitches” but what I really mean is that some women have an unfounded sense of entitlement, that’s still a completely unacceptable thing to say.

      Nobody said “men are more dangerous than bears.” You made that up in your head to be offended about. They said “I’d rather be alone in the woods with a bear than a man,” and I explained to you how that’s a very different thing. If you’re going to continue to be intentionally obtuse and ignore that I’m not interested in explaining again.

        Your explanation was that women are so traumatized and fearful that they can’t help but say hyperbolic things that they don’t actually mean. To make a point, or something.

        I don’t see how those two sentences are any different. Your explanation was that “I’d rather be in the woods with a bear than a man” actually means whatever. Well the statement wasn’t that whatever. That whatever might or might not be insulting and hurtful. “I’d rather be in the woods with a bear than a man” is insulting and hurtful, so don’t fucking say that. Say whatever the fuck that’s supposed to mean, instead.
