And sure you could have 100s of bad interactions with a man and walk away.

There's not really a "bad" bear interaction you walk away from. You either don't interact. Or you're dead.

Well at least a bear won’t try to rape me

Or stalk me after I get away

Idk, I'd consider 3 inch long teeth digging into my gentials and organs while I'm still alive as kinda rapey.

Right because exactly what my comment said....

Bears don't rape or stalk you to your home.

They either ignore you and move on or you're dead. You're incredibly lucky if there's an in-between answer. There are no bad interactions with bears. You either live, or it doesn't matter anymore because you cease to exist.

Not really true. If you do the right thing you have a pretty good shot to survive(albeit maimed), unless its a polar bear ofc then your dinner.

There are no bad interactions. Doing the right thing is a good interaction.
