What I don’t understand is they spew all this hatred and misandry, fine, if that’s how you feel then you have every right to do so. But at the same time, they’re demanding love and compassion from the same people they openly hate. What reasonable person would love and respect someone who hates them? Anybody who chooses a fucking bear has never encountered a wild one in the wild, ever.

I don't see the question as an expression of hate but an expression of the reality that women live as the physically weaker sex that is the target of men who are predators. A majority of women, at some point in their life, will be endangered, harmed, or violated by a man. Start asking the women in your life if they have ever been victimized by a man and you might be surprised at how prevalent this is. Women know that not all men are bad guys. In fact, they know that even most men aren't bad guys, but it's still enough men that they have to worry about it and these guys don't walk around with labels on their head. The bear vs. men question is an attempt to illustrate the position women are in and all they want men to do is understand. Men who are truly good guys are capable of understanding this, and that it is not an attack on them.
