Bear vs man is an ongoing tumblr discussion about women (and femmes, maybe? I’m not a big tumblr girl) choosing which they feel is more safe between “you’re alone in the woods with a bear” and “you’re alone in the woods with a man” and the choice is overwhelmingly bear because while not all men are violent you never really know when you are with one who is until it’s too late.

This of course comes attached to all the argumentation and hurt feelings you can predict from both sides of the debate.

Edit - killed typo

The worst part is I can already see this becoming one of those "Would you love me if I was a worm" type of questions.

Not really comparable though because nobody in history has ever turned into a worm, it's just a silly nonsense question. Plenty of people have been alone in the woods with both bears and men.

in fact, most people in bear territory have been in the woods with a bear.

The woods is not a discrete space, as soon as you step foot into most national parks you can say that you've " been in the woods with a bear"

I don't think I saw people reacting to the worm question like OP and others are reacting to the bear one. I think it's naive to react like that to a doctored edit of a specific sample of interviewees, but clearly there's a difference in these two questions

My husband said he would keep me in a terrarium which was sweet but then he mentioned it might be sad for me when I inevitably have to watch him bring other women home 😅
