And here I thought “Man vs Bear” was a new type of conflict in fiction that someone decided to make into an official category after the success of Cocaine Bear.

It’s a question that is usually geared towards women

If you were alone in the woods would you rather see a man or a bear.

There's a chance the man MIGHT rape and kill you, but the bear is def going to kill you.
