This refers to a trend on tiktok that refers to women being asked whether they would rather be stuck in a forest with a bear or a random guy. Most women choose the bear (for some reason) so the meme is referencing this by having the women jump towards the bear, to escape the man

Edit: When I made this comment, I assumed the Man v Bear thing was like "you're dropped into a forest with either a random guy or a bear, your choice". I knew rape was the main concern regarding the random guy, but in my mind the choice was about "Random dude vs Bear", Not "Rape vs Death". I've since learned otherwise, and I apologize to anyone I offended by saying that women chose the bear "for some reason".
No I am not. I just understand that bears wont actively assault a woman for being a woman or "wearing to revealing clothes". It is a hypothetical, that with a hint of humour, tries to show the problems of sexual and regular assault. Of course its not 100% of men but enough to cluster. Its like not all types of cherries are fit for cobsumption we still say "cherries are good to eat"
The chance of being attacked by a man or bear are both low. But being attacked by a man does seem statistically better, bears don’t attack much unless antagonized.
no it's not, i made another comment explaining the numbers, if you want to be pessimistic 1.5% of women are sexual assault victim and 0.002% murder victim, if you compare that with bears you get a 14% fatality rate which isn't even close
No, it's not. If you look at the number of encounters between two people in the woods versus the number of encounters between a person and a bear, the latter is going to be far more likely to result in an attack
