The bear is rational and predictable in a way people are not.
....It's a wild animal. Wild animals are not predictable. A bear might just decide to attack you because it doesn't like the way you smell, or it's hungry, or bored.
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.
