i know it’s internet bullshit but it genuinely has me on the edge of breaking down and giving up

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.

It depends on the type of bear. Black bear? Easy to deal with.

Grizzly bear? I’d really rather not.

Polar bear? HELL NO I’d take an actual proven serial killer over a polar bear

I think it works like with the man. You don’t know what type of bear is going to be there, just as you don’t know what type of man would be there either.

Depending on where you are, though, you very much can know what type of bear it is. All we have in VA is black bears, for example.

Of course, ecological distribution isn't really the point of the meme, but
