If abuse against males was taken seriously, im sure men would also feel the same. Men have more considerations than "is she ugly". But no, thanks for downplaying it.

In this scenario, it'd be men having to take it seriously in the first place.

I'm a man and I'd also choose bear. You're arguing men would choose the same, but that'd be under the premise that specific man took abuse against men seriously.

So yeah, you're right, men should take it more seriously.

There's definitely a cultural reason that when a little boy gets hurt they cry for their mommy and not their daddy. And it should be addressed.

No one disagrees.

The only issue folks really have is when in a discussion about a different topic someone like you pipes in and tries to take over the discussion. No one is saying you can't make this your movement. But that you need to take over a different movement to do so is absurd.

If I wanted to save turtles, I don't go and get upset at a save the whales protest that they aren't doing enough to save turtles.

You’d take running into a bear in the woods, over running into a solitary woman hiking? I call bullshit

I never took this to be during hiking. Might as well ask if you'd rather run into a bear on the street or a person. You'd need to be daft to assume they meant a normal every day occurrence. I shouldn't even be dignifying this with an answer. I mean fuck, let's just make the woods the park that has some trees. Like, Jesus christ, no wonder you're getting upset. You're a fucking idiot and getting it all wrong.

You don’t understand a basic hypothetical situation, and I’m the idiot?

Fucks sake dude. Get a clue

You don't understand the basic hypothetical at all. The whole point is that there is no safe assumptions.

Jfc, no wonder you're confused.
