    First of all, that’s just black bears, the most cowardly of bears.

    Second, it’s too damn hot in Georgia for a bear to maul someone.

    Thirdly, if you encountered as many strange bears daily as you did strange men, you’d be eaten by now.

    Have you ever been shot in the head? Probably not. Well, since you don’t have experience with it, you’re not afraid of it, right? So better a bullet to the head than a strange man in the woods. Bullet has never harmed me.

    All the responses siding with the bear so far have been either sexist or stupid. I’m gonna put you with stupid.

      If I’d ever been shot in the head I can only assume it wasn’t a damn bear that did it. But sure. I should piss my pants at the sight of a wild animal. And pay no nevermind to the actually dangerous creature.

      Like the bears ain’t scary around here, but we do see alligators often. Still less scary than a random man in the dark when you’re alone.

        That’s not true and wildly unhealthy for you to believe. Not least of all because you might get your leg ripped into by a gator.

      I think you’re forgetting the part wear the bear doesn’t tie you to a tree and force feed you to use you. See the bear will mostly likely leave you alone. Or kill you.

      On the other hand. A human male can do FAR worse things than simply kill the woman. Which I will say some men would just kill the woman. And to my understanding of the last 6000 years of recorded history… Men do in fact do worse things than the bear.

      Here’s a statue dedicated to it!

        So will the man, that’s the whole fucking point.

        You’re taking worst case scenario with the man vs best case scenario with the bear.
