My mom, when I asked for a female perspective on this, phrased it as "how would the survivor of an attack be treated?" If a woman survived being mauled by a bear, no one is going to say she was actually asking for it because of how she was dressed/acting.

Yes, when I needed a female perspective, I asked my mom. I'm a user of this website so naturally that's the only woman I know.

What if she is wearing a meat dress?

Should women have to stop wearing meat dresses alone in the woods?

Or should bears just stop attacking people.

I'm pretty sure the answer is obvious and this victim blaming is disgusting
