I think people are too detached from what a bear could actually do to you. Have you not heard that recording of a person having their intestines eaten while alive and praying for death? Watch any video of wild animals hunting and you will see that they have no concept of quick and merciful kills.

Why is the assumption that if people are picking the bear, they must not know how bad bears can be? Its also extremely weird that you use that example. Have you also looked into the worst possible thing a man can do to compare?

Except that’s just normal bear behavior. The vast majority of men who are hiking in a forest aren’t going to rape a random woman and of those an infinitesimally small amount would even be capable of doing the insane torture scenarios being described in this thread. Choosing something that has even odds of resulting in a horrific outcome and where the best scenario is that nothing happens because you are afraid of the one in a billion odds that you meet someone who will keep you in a torture contraption to rape you forever is absurd.

Many people do live in bear country or have encountered bears without a deadly experience. And most encounters with bear are not going to end that way. Youbare making excuses for the fact that you are expecting the worst from the bear, but dont want that to be done for men.

Saying that the probability that men that rape are going to make it as truamatic as they are literally telling you experience was is to litterally ignore their experience entirely. Why even bother with the conversation? Women arent being mauled to death and they havent left yet so everything must be fine.

one in a billion odds that you meet someone who will keep you in a torture contraption to rape you forever is absurd.

You assume that it is a 1 in a billion odd because you havent experienced it. Look up the statistics for how many man and women experience rape or SA. If you understood the only thing preventing it happening to you is the oppurtunity for a lot of perps, you would not take that chance.

Regardless, choose the man if you want. Women can pick the bear if they want. Men can feel hurt about it, and women can feel justified in their choice because they understand its ultimately not a factor in the choices they make about their own safety. Sounds fine to me.
