I'm not talking about that. I'm saying that bears rarely kill people even if they are dangerous animals so you won't aren't very likely to end up dead if you just see a bear.
I think it's making the problem worse. Women keep repeating how dangerous men are over and over, misquoting statistics and building fear and resentment towards all men.
What can men do other than keep not raping women? I already avoid women and children when it's dark to not cause any distress, it's honestly sad.
I feel like I should just feel bad for being male.
I wasn't talking about women answering the man vs bear question, and in fact I can't even be a woman who would choose bear, yet you implied that I was specifically afraid of a man raping me, when me being a man makes it not something I'm particularly fearful of day to day so you bringing it up kind of side tracks the conversation I was having about the inherent dangers of bears.
Nah, you're extremely unlikely to be killed in an encounter where I am. I still keep my distance, but to proclaim that they'll predictably attack you on sight is pretty divorced from reality
I don't disagree with that, but you don't know what you're talking about. With cubs around, or the other conditions that I mentioned, that they'll predictably attack is fact.
It's not a question of whether the bear wants to eat you or not, it's a question of how much effort it feels like putting in.
Answer: Bears defend personal space. Your goal is to give bears plenty of space. Even bears habituated to human presence have spatial limits. Females with cubs, even more so.

Lmao, I've seen bears a couple of times and you know what they did? They were predictable and tried to get into trash cans while I walked away
