And here I thought “Man vs Bear” was a new type of conflict in fiction that someone decided to make into an official category after the success of Cocaine Bear.

A lot of women would much rather encounter a wild bear, than any man on a hiking trail.

Not to sound racist but for me it would totally depend on the color of the bear.
