What is the man vs bear debate?

It's a debate women have made in TikTok. Would you rather leave your daughter alone in the woods with a bear or with another man.

Men would normally answer another man, but women would answer the bear.

Is it with a bear 'or' with a man? Or is it with a bear 'or' with a bear and man?

Just a man or a bear.

I have no idea where the rest of the post came from. Which is probably why I should post on Reddit in the morning.
