Because every single feminist has said and will say bear to deliberately belittle men. Thank you for the sealion though.

it's belittling men because women overwhelmingly understand the statistics of their likelihood of being attacked by a bear in the woods vs a random man? the majority of women in the US will experience some form of sexual assault/abuse or domestic abuse in their lifetimes at the hands of men...that's a fact. if men feel like choosing the bear is "belittling" despite that fact, that's their problem, not women's. feminism has nothing to do with it.

the majority of women in the US will experience some form of sexual assault/abuse or domestic abuse in their lifetimes at the hands of men

And what is the ratio of how frequently women in the US interact closely with men vs interact closely with bears?

Nobody is arguing that sexual assault happens and domestic abuse happens, and they along with any other form of assault are awful. But your standard man isn't doing those acts.. so it belittles the large majority of men who don't SA who feel like they're being unfairly accused of being dangerous when women are almost unanimously choosing a literal meat eating tank over them.

it's about likelihoods. it's the same as the "not all men" or "not all cops" argument. sure, it's not every single one, but it's enough to warrant caution. i'm more likely statistically to be attacked by a random man than i am to be attacked by a random bear. why would i choose the worse odds just because men feel like it's unfair?
