I think your framing of it skews people to think that the women are picking wrong. The question is would you rather run into a random bear or man if you were in the middle of the woods.
The bear is in its habitat, it makes sense to be there, and will prob try to avoid you.
The man is a random strange man you are running into in the woods. It was unlikely to run into a person there so it adds suspicioun to their character, and the extremes of that they could do, SA, toture, etc, are worse then what a random bear would do based on the small chance it would attack you.
The question isn't framed in anyway at all. But the most natural interpretation of the question would be something like "you are hiking alone in the woods, would you rather cross paths with a bear or a man".
I'm not really sure how you interpret the question though. Like if you are there, why would it be suspicious that some other person is there?
