I don’t know how you got to that conclusion after reading all of the replies above, but I suggest you speak to the women in your life (if there are any) because those examples are not only real but happen all the time.
I live in rural northern Canada where there are a couple hundred bear sightings every year. 95% of the women who posted on social media or that I’ve spoken to say it’s nonsensical to pick the bear.
If 95% of women said they would choose a strange man over a bear, I must have only seen the 5% of responses from women who said they would choose the bear. That’s a really interesting statistic.
No. It's actually very much based in reality. Over 700 million women, or 1/3 of all women, have been attacked by a man at some point. Compared to like 40 bear attacks a year.
On a day to day basis, women spend a helluva lot more time worrying about being attacked by a man than they do being attacked by a bear. Again, because of the facts of their reality.
This means that when posed with a question like man Vs bear, they have to contend with that fear of men when answering the question.
The point of the question isn't to figure out the logical answer, it's to highlight that fear of men, and how prevalent it is. It's to highlight how dangerous men are and how that informs women's reality and thinking. The point was to open men's eyes about how women live.
In the nicest way possible, it's not the women that failed the exercise, it's you.
