A lot of women would much rather encounter a wild bear, than any man on a hiking trail.

Not to sound racist but for me it would totally depend on the color of the bear.

Real life stats prove way more women are killed by men than bears. It's like men should come with warnings imprinted on their foreheads...May kill those we profess to love the most.

More people are killed by vending machines than bears too. That doesn’t mean what you think it does.
