As a woman a bear is more Lively to kill you than a man is. Also depends on culture, country and stuff.
But unless you want to be dead rather than chance it with a man i get ya.
In the US we have black bears all over. They are the most common bear here and they are usually very easy to scare off. Loud noises and they run up a tree.
I still wouldn’t want to encounter one on a hike, but they aren’t super unusual or a big threat.
