    If you stumble across a grizzly, 9/10 times you’re dead. If you cross paths with a man, being generous, I’ll guess 1/ 300 times you’ll be assaulted.

    No one is saying women don’t have a right to be wary, or feel unsafe but wtf.

      Why’s it got to be a grizzly? Are we comparing the bears to meeting a murderer? You know there’s more than one kind of bear right? But also Grizzlies aren’t polar bears. They don’t see humans as prey and would rather just not as long as they, their cubs, or food aren’t threatened. As always the month before hibernation is a giant asterisk.

      But we aren’t talking about angry guys or murderers so why would the bear be anything but the most common black bear?
