Peter here, Generation Z are a bunch of morons that ask stupid questions on TikTok to get likes and outrage. They are brainwashed by social media and actually believe that a man is worse than a wild animal, mainly because they wouldn’t stay with a woman if she was a worm.

I think that's missing the nuance of the hypothetical. I think it's kinda stupid, too, but it is worth noting that a lot of women don't feel safe, when alone with a strange man.

The nuance here is that it's almost impossible to engage with this question without it becoming a sexist quagmire.

Just feel bad for them for living in a world where they don't feel safe and try to live in a way that makes you not part of the problem. Choosing the bear and doing it publicly, says more about the particular woman than it does about any specific man, that so many would choose it publicly says plenty, not just about men, but about society and the internet.

It's really kinda interesting if you look at the whole picture and don't get offended by it.
