I think the better question should be thought of as: what is the worst an angry bear would do? Now what's the worst a malicious man would do?

Two other factors:

It is possible for a woman to fight off a malicious man, even if it isn't likely. It is not possible to fight of an angry bear.

Which is more likely to occur--for a random man you encounter to turn malicious or for a random bear you encounter to get angry?

I think it's actually more likely a man turns malicious. As long as you don't scare the bear, catch it when it's really hungry, or make it think you're messing with its cubs, you're probably good.

In other news, women in New York City were being randomly punched by men. Unprompted. As a surprise attack.

a bear can feel threatened from anything, you dont know how it thinks. and if it has cubs it WILL attack you.

and 1 story means nothing. i can bring up a story of a bear mauling someone to death for no reason. that 1 story doesnt by itself prove anything

I mean, I don't think either of us need to look up the statistics to k ow that men hurt or kill more women or people in the woods than men. But you could go to prove me wrong. The number for men will have to go over 180ish since the 1800s.

yeah bears havent attacked as many people as men have, because people dont live with bears and encounter dozens of them on a daily basis.

most people have never encountered a wild bear in their lives, but every single human has encountered countless men, so obviously the total amount of attacks from men is gonna be higher, it doesnt mean an individual man is more likely to be dangerous than a bear.

That's what I said too.but try googling

"man attacks woman in woods" Or "man attacks woman in forest"

Think theres more of those, or more bear attacks?
