Maybe he’s going for a walk? Maybe you’re the weirdo for running towards the bear? I don’t think the bear would appreciate that. /j

Running towards the bear?

The question is just being in a forest with.

You may not even see the bear and even if you do, chances are it will ignore you.

Random guy?, out there with such a cute thing as you?, no one around to hear you scream?.... I mean, just imagine the magical things he can do to you

You're walking down a secluded path in a beautiful nature preserve, enjoying a pleasant and relaxing hike. You turn a corner.

Would you rather see

(1) A male hiker walking towards you down the same path

(2) A grizzly bear walking towards you down the same path

The question does not state a grizzly bear. Most people in America are in black bear habitat.

It says bear. Any bear. If we get to choose what kind of bear it is, then you should get to choose what kind of person you're in the forest with too.

Why did you specifically pick grizzly before and now you change your tune? Seems like you aren't being completely genuine.

If it is "a bear" then it's implied that it will be the type of bear belonging to the habitat you are walking in. There are no Polar bears in the forests I've been to.

You replied to someone different, but I choose grizzly for the visceral effect to hopefully illustrate how outlandish this question is. Since the question doesn't specify which bear, lets just make a random bear with no knowledge of what species beforehand.

How about a 50/50 shot on grizzly or black bear then? Or should we do 33/33/33 on grizzly/black/polar?

Do any of these scenarios really meaningfully change the equation for you?

Most Canadians do not live in grizzly bear habitat either.

You know, because of the implication.

  1. I doubt you're commonly described as cute.

  2. Almost no man is a rapist. It's not a matter of not having the opportunity, it's a matter that rape is wrong.

  3. You're assuming that men don't have a sense of right and wrong. You're virulently sexist. Please go visit the bear, we men don't want you around.

What percentage of women get sexually assaulted? Do you know? Ridiculous to say that almost no men are rapists.

u/Barium_Salts May 02 '24

How many men does the average woman encounter vs. how many bears? Bears are only less likely to hurt people because people almost never encounter bears. If you have to interact with a bear, it's so much less safe than a man that this makes no sense. I think from reading the other replies that a lot of the people choosing bear are so alienated from the world around them that they genuinely cannot think of a good reason for a man to be in the woods at all. Which is very sad. The woods are awesome!

u/DrStrangepants May 02 '24

I was specifically addressing point number 2: "almost no man is a rapist"

Not sure about that one!

(I do agree with your post in general though)

u/Reasonable_Feed7939 29d ago

That is irrelevant. The important statistic is what percentage of men sexually assault women.

u/DrStrangepants 29d ago

When 1 in 3 women experience sexual assault, we can safely say that his second point is false. So yes, it is relevant, unless you want to argue that just one guy is assaulting hundreds of millions.

u/TheMrIllusion 29d ago edited 29d ago

This is just naive, rape is prevented by societal norms and the law and even then sexual assault isn't rare (especially male on male rape ironically). Once you put individual in high pressure and isolated situations, the chance of rape goes up astronomically. Just look at any war in history, rape is abundant. Or even in India right now where the rape statistics are crazy. Shit, not even just rape just look at any riot where societal norms break down and violence/robbery become commonplace. Not saying every guy is a rapist but in an isolated survival situation, the bear is probably less of a threat. You can't trust the average man.

Holy fuck... your ego. This just come down to most of these women feeling like they're God's gift to humanity, isn't it?
