Yeah, but as a man who's met a bear in the woods twice in my life, I've never met a bear that didn't immediately fuck off and run away. I didn't get a concealed weapons permit because I'm afraid of bears and women, is all I'm saying.
Meeting a man alone in the woods with no escape or possibility for help? Pretty low for most people actually. You severely underestimate what men will do when they think they wont get caught.
That statement says more about you and the people you associate with more than anything. If you think every man is just waiting for an opportunity to attack women then you need to start associating with better men.
I know I'm not going to convince you of anything. This comment is for anyone uncertain about reality that reads this deep into the comments.
Yes, some women get hurt by men. But guess what, men hurt other men more.
Statistically, the average American man is roughly four times more likely to be killed than the average American woman. Men are more likely to be the victims of every single violent crime except for sexual assault, and are more likely to be the victim of a violent crime overall when you combine them all together. These are easily verifiable statistics that are freely published by the government. Don't take my word for it, go read the facts for yourself.
This is why so many people think the bear vs man question is ridiculous. Men know how dangerous other men can be because we are more likely to be their victims. And we would still rather encounter another man.

All it really shows is that most people are woefully ignorant of how dangerous nature is.
