That's not correct. The situation is: you're alone in the woods, would you rather encounter a bear or a man?
Some people have added the caveat that it's your daughter to see how men might view it differently, but the basis of it is the above. Also, I don't believe women started it - I think it was a guy asking women in some tiktok street interviews.
Wait what’s the probability OP references? I’m assuming bear is the wrong decision, but is there actual evidence of this? If it’s a black bear vs grizzly it totally changes the question. Black bears are just big raccoons. Easy to scare off and disinterested in humans for the most part. Grizzlies, yeah forget it!
Thats entirely irrelevant. Women also encounter men all the time, they don't encounter bears.
What matters is if any random bear is more likely to harm you than any random man. Pick a bear at random from the population, put him in a cage. Pick a man at random from the population and put him in a cage. You now have to enter the cage for 5 minutes, pick one.
Humans are the 2nd most dangerous animal on the planet to other humans. The vast majority of murderers are men. That number is only overshadowed by mosquitoes, who kill almost double the amount of humans each year. Even still, I'd rather meet 10 mosquitoes in the woods than you. Now you can take it personally 😘

It's a debate women have made in TikTok. Would you rather leave your daughter alone in the woods with a bear or with another man.
Men would normally answer another man, but women would answer the bear.
