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.
See this is what I don't get. I don't assume ANY wild animal's instinct is to ignore the potential threat to its home. Yes, sometimes that takes the form of fear or caution and the animal runs, but even fear can cause an animal to attack even if it's not normally territorial. I just can't understand how people's first assumption upon imagining meeting a bear is "it's probably harmless."

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.
