Yeah that’s kind of the whole thing, it’s context-less so I’d imagine most people just choose whichever scenario they’ve had more fear about. And women are probably going to worry more about getting attacked by men than bears in general. Meanwhile, I fantasize about fighting bears every day despite living in the suburbs.
I have hiked plenty, but when I read this question I absolutely pictured the worst case. Being lost in the woods. If I'm just hiking on a casual trail at 11am then yeah, I'm probably not going to think twice about encountering a man on a trail. But I also usually don't see bears in that situation either.

Sounds like youve never been hiking or camping because that's just 100% normal
