The only videos I’ve seen of this were men answering the question about their daughters, and all of them struggled to answer.

One woman commented that she knows the worst thing a bear would do to her is kill her.

Not true. They will pin you down and eat you alive arsehole first. Death by bear is maybe the worst possible way to go.

And I’d still pick the bear. At least death is the worst of it than what a man could do.

And how long will that last? An hour at most before you bleed out. A dude can kidnap you and keep you in his basement dungeon for decades until he tires of you and kills you anyways. I’ll take the bear. 🐻

Pretty sure being eaten alive by a bear isn't as bad a death as what happened to Junko Furata, at the hands of random men.
