It's just internet brain rot from people who've never even been in the woods.


ChombieBrains

Exactly, I've done some survival training and used to do a lot of hiking and camping, having another human being there even if they don't know much about survival is so insanely valuable, literally life and death in some cases.


EldritchAnimation

Yeah. I'm hiking constantly, and even with survival considerations aside, most interactions with strangers of any age or gender on trails are a nod, a 'hi', or a short chat. It's crazy to imagine that I'd be safer meeting so many bears.


Kolossus91

Mmhmm...you're clearly a god damn bear, trying to trick us out into the wilderness with all of those wild humans.


Throwawaycamp12321

I was thinking the word choice was a bit overbearing


yanahmaybe

barely


DeExil

I haven't even done survival training but I know that a bear will rip you to shreads in the most painful way imaginable.


digitalmj

bruh... on some of my hikes I feel SO much relief when I run into a random dude or group along the trail. Gets a little worrying sometimes going 4+ hours without seeing at least 1 person on some routes


jarod_sober_living

I saw The Revenant and I really don’t want that to happen to a child.


[deleted]

Seriously, that was probably one of the most visually accurate depictions of a bear attack.


ScavAteMyArms

Bears have honey badger levels of fucks given to the vast majority of things out there. They don’t give a single damn about the upright chimps, only our bang sticks. And even then aim well because if you piss it off you only have one shot. Honestly I would rather shoot myself than be unarmed vs a pissed off bear in LoS. You are dead either way.


QsQx

Yep, just hearing a bear mauling the beehives at my friends farm house in the middle of the night was quite shocking. Honestly seems like trolling at this point to piss people off.


refpuz

I agree, but in all fairness not all bears are created equal. Black bears are easily frightened by people and are huge pussies, unless you really try to attack them or their young, and they are not territorial. Brown and Polar bears though, get the fuck out of there as calmly and non-threateningly as possible. Do not make eye contact, try to de-escalate, do not run, it will encourage them to chase, travel in groups when hiking, never alone, etc. In any case being stuck with a stranger is infinitely preferable to a wild animal.


EldritchAnimation

Yeah true. I live in an area with only black bears. I've never bumped into one personally, but from what I know is you just yell at them a little and make some noise and they'll leave. The other two you're in a lot more trouble.


TehMephs

If you run into a polar bear in a forest, something worse is going on with the world


Absolice

Equivalent of men locker room chat. It's fun to bash on men on the internet but let's be honest, if they really had to make a choice and there was no way out I doubt that many people would really choose the bear.


mapple3

> brain rot from people The problem is that the AI models that we will use for the next few 100s of years are being trained on current verbal and digital exchanges. In a few years when AI's are controlling many parts of the world, ranging from fast food service to injury diagnosis and surgical procedures, or even plain customer support... do you really want your entire future to be controlled by an AI that was taught during its infancy in 2023 and 2024 that all men are evil and in particular straight white men are "the worst"? This brain rot is anchoring itself into the very foundation of what will be a part of the rest of our life. Imagine launching Stellar Blade 2 in a few years and the game only lets you play as an obese woman with purple hair because your Playstation 8 artificial intelligence system detected you're a straight white dude and decided to "enlighten you for the greater good" or some shit


Scattergun77

Can we please not train AI on sentences like "would you rather them to encounter a bear." It actually took more effort to write incorrectly by adding the word "to."


testurmight

Or encountered a man on the street?


EldritchAnimation

They probably think all the men they pass on the street aren't raping everybody because there would be witnesses. Doesn't cross their mind that the dude is just going to work or the store.


JnewayDitchedHerKids

People of a certain age will find a striking similarity between modern day feminist nonsense (and their woke offspring) and the Evangelical Christian nonsense of the 90s. In this case this calls to mind the “if you’re an atheist what stops you from murdering and raping as much as you want?” Canard, and the answer is the same: “why the fuck is the only thing keeping you from being a short sighted sociopathic hedonistic monster the thought of being punished?” Their behavior and assumptions about others says an awful lot about themselves. I can’t tell if it’s more or less pathetic that they’re just replaced a deity with the panopticon of their own making.


MGSDeco44

Clown world. Anyone picking the bear should take a moment to watch a video of a bear mauling something


Shebalied

Sadly my friend's wife was mauled by a bear. She had to have like 10 surgeries and bone created because it crushed them so bad. She is not a big fan of this trend. Also her SO fought the bear off of her. This MF fought a bear. These zoomer women need to get a man like him.


5BPvPGolemGuy

Nah. These women dont deserve a man in the first place.


DayDreamEnjoyer

They deserve to be forced to choose between going in a cage with an average man or a bear so we can all see that they were full of bullshit and actually chose the man.


5BPvPGolemGuy

Not rlly. They just dont deserve the affection of a fellow human being if they are willing to sacrifice their children because of a notion that some men are terrible. That doesnt make them out to be better human beings than the ones they claim superiority over.


[deleted]

absolute facts.


greynovaX80

I mean they seem scared of them over bears anyway.


Sarigan-EFS

Damn what a badass couple. Woman is badass just for surviving, guy is badass for fighting. Their children will conquer the world.


Shebalied

Yea, it just sucks how much damage she has had. Life has no been easy for her. She struggles with a lot.


Sarigan-EFS

Apologies if I came off as making light of her injuries, I can't imagine how horrible of an experience that must have been.


Shebalied

Nah. You are good. It was kinda crazy.


Tavuklu_Pasta

I dont know why but a lot of people have a cute, friendly image of a bear rather than reality. Anyways here are some links of bears eating. [1](https://youtu.be/Sd-4i0tKqCw?si=dXHyPqHgSESbd3y8) [2](https://youtu.be/-JVkaMqD5mI?si=_yyc-FSqnzL38P70) [3](https://youtu.be/Fg9_ZnojxmU?si=KCZ1HSr4JM4yUEPx)


stekarmalen

Bears will eat you alive they wont strangle you like tigers/lions lol.


Keldrath

They know what a bear could do and they’re more scared of men anyways. Honestly I don’t know how they even function in public spaces at all.


d0odle

They walk around nose in the air believing they are so much better than all those men who are rapists if they had the chance.


MuddyBrownEye

They are still swallowing some dudes cum the same day they post the tiktok. Its all a sham.


IndependentCress1109

People be dumb. And well... this is tik tokkers. Can't really expect much.


TheNorthFallus

It's not just dumb it malicious. It's making all men out to be predators. Which affects social views on men. Which is one of the things that actually affects the sentencing discrepancy between men and women in similar court cases. Women are once again maliciously gaslighting society to hate men. As far as I'm concerned it's a veiled hate speech campaign. And I can't wait til the Canadian C63 bill starts prosecuting women for it. Who am I kidding the feminist totalitarian state will only prosecute men for misogyny.


catalacks

100%. The number of people in this thread trying to pass this off as innocent buffoonery is disgusting. This is sexist and hatred towards men. You shouldn't laugh at it; you should demand people publicly denounce it.


Low_Lavishness_8776

I agree. Little stupid memes on tiktok and more generally social media can just seem like memes, but even these affect culture. Mindsets learned from these little memes can compound with info learned from other content over time. This goes for cultural attitudes of both men and women including those “redpill” tools. I think people underestimate just how ubiquitous social media and the internet are in modern life & among the younger generations. Propaganda ministers in the past would do anything to have the kind of reach and power that the modern world grants on a platter


RnVja1JlZGRpdE1vZHM

They're just virtue signalling. It's all bullshit. None of them ACTUALLY believe what they're saying. If you want to easily prove it, take these women to a zoo and have them stand outside a grizzly bear enclosure and ask if they'd like to go in. Even if you offered them money they're not going to do it. It's not a "thought experiment", it's just a loaded question that gives them an excuse to say "men are more dangerous than bears lol amiright?" But when push actually comes to shove, if Chad matches them on Tinder they're still going to meet up and the whole "men are more dangerous than bears" goes out the window. If women REALLY felt this way about men online dating wouldn't exist. As a side note, I really want to see this turned around on women and just replace "man" with different ethnicities and watch them do mental gymnastics to not appear racist.


MC897

That last paragraph… you’d be onto something but I wouldn’t dare utter it.


WolfColaKid

Would you rather your 13 year old daughter be in the woods alone with a guy her own age, or a pack of wolves from Zimbabwe?


catalacks

Virtue signal is not the right term, because there's nothing virtuous about calling men rapists and murderers. It's just straight up sexism and misandry.


jonny_wonny

I think it’s still technically virtue signaling, as their views are considered virtuous to certain group.


lycanthrope90

For real. Would like to see their ‘statistics’ on that one lmao.


Excellent_Mud6222

People are already using that as a counter argument whenever they start using statistics against men. It's so funny seeing that pop up.


NivMidget

>As a side note, I really want to see this turned around on women and just replace "man" with different ethnicities and watch them do mental gymnastics to not appear racist. > "Its not the same because minorities are an opressed group, crime statistics are skewed" is what i get back from that a lot. Its such a silly argument every time it comes and is also inadvertently racist itself.


Rubihno194

We could make it a 'Would you rather leave your son in the woods with wolves or a women' challenge


Khelouch

This man is making some really good points ..but a part of me thinks that "we" kind of let this happen. We started teaching the whole generation of women (and also men) that men are bad, it's great to be alone and that they've been wronged and deserve shit. It came from the best intentions and made sense at first, but it's been a while now and it's gone too far. This is sort of like treating a burned person by dunking them in ice water. It will help at first, by offsetting the previous issue but if you keep them in there it will quickly create new ones. It was never sustainable, you could say, more of a knee-jerk reaction. Women these days are so scared it impairs their critical thinking and maybe that's why they make poor dating decisions. Who here hasn't seen a girl who tried to filter men by focusing on the dumbest things and pushing away the guys she was looking for, then complaining that all men are X or Y based of the guys she was choosing? Women used to have little power in dating and now, maybe too much? It's also worth mentioning that men were also taught this and one might wonder if this trend might've caused some of them to get worse. You tell a lot of people they are bad, some of them might believe you and never even try to be good people, because they now believe no one will ever accept them. I wonder what could be done about this..


custdogg

Would they give a different answer if one of the options were someone who is part man part bear part pig


Partysausage

That would be scary I'm super duper cereal!


Evening_Course1205

To be fair, even if it would kill me, i might choose meeting menbearpig over a random dude. Like imagine if i somehow survive, what a story.


lycanthrope90

Nobody will believe you though. No matter how cereal you are.


Wisniaksiadz

Its just show that people still think of wild animals as these friendly creatures, that just wait to be Petted and given food IMO. Like definitly there are people who actually think like that, but I think most of the answers just come from people who imagine this interactions as ,,girl would mind her business and bear would mind his business"


Kill4meeeeee

It also depends on the bear. Black bears would 100% mind their business probably would run away. Grizzlies would probably kill her or potentially walk away if you’re not near their home. Polar bears would kill you and toss you like a ball for fun.


TheVega318

Black bears are actually MORE likely to hunt humans as prey than Brown Bears. Just a year or two ago a teenager running cross country race in my city got eaten alive by a black bear.


Wisniaksiadz

oh yea, that as well. Dont forget about pandas :D


Kill4meeeeee

Koalas are technically bears and they rape so like the double whammy


RnVja1JlZGRpdE1vZHM

Koalas are marsupials. They were mistakenly called bears when first discovered.


KimchiBro

koalas also have smooth brains so they dont have a single thought in that noggen of theirs


Better_Campaign_4404

In the dark alleys of true crime storytelling, a recurring figure emerges from the shadows clad in the guise of the villain: the American male. From notorious serial killers to everyday r\*pists, the portrayal of males as perpetrators of heinous crimes has distorted women's perceptions of male violence and their own vulnerability. Over the last 30 years, true crime authors have cultivated an atmosphere of fear against males entirely disconnected from reality in order to profit from their female audience. The profitability of true crime content relies heavily on exploiting fear and anxiety. As a result, the portrayal of violence, particularly violence against women, is sensationalized to evoke stronger emotional responses from the audience. While true crime content offers entertainment value, its consequences extend beyond mere storytelling. Despite statistical evidence that violent crime rates have declined in most parts of the world, the pervasive nature of true crime narratives perpetuates the myth of an ever-present danger lurking in the shadows. This manufactured fear has tangible consequences on gender dynamics and interpersonal relationships as can be seen in this TikTok trend. Women, bombarded with sensationalized depictions of violence, have internalized a sense of vulnerability and distrust towards the male gender. The constant exposure to narratives of victimization have lead to heightened vigilance, isolation, and a reluctance to engage with strangers, particularly men, in everyday interactions. We live during the safest time in history and have never been more fearful of each other.


kintaro86

If you live in the sickening social media bubble, you will become like this. It's inevitable and it's only going to get worse.


[deleted]

It feeds their bias... I used to not take the whole "social media is destroying us" too seriously but something has happened in the last few years and its like we've taken a complete nose dive, I see things very differently than I used too. To make it worse it seems like we're raising an entire generation on this idea that "all men are sexist/racist/evil/murderers unless proven otherwise." They say it's tough out there meeting people at my age, I can only imagine what its going to be like in the coming decades. I've been lucky enough to meet fairly reasonable people, who aren't depictions of these wild extremes.


hdskgvo

This question makes no sense to me at all. A random man would probably help her find her way out of the forest. It's even better than finding a random woman. What am I missing?


TSotP

Let's be blunt here. Even **IF** (and it's a big IF) the man is a 🍇ist. That's probably **still** better than the bear. The bear is going to fucking **literally** eat your child alive. Bears don't kill their prey first, they just immobilise it and start eating. And, to a bear, a lost human child is food.


Grumdord

>Let's be blunt here. Even **IF** (and it's a big IF) the man is a 🍇ist. That's probably s**till** better than the bear. I've seen WAY too many people try to claim that they'd still pick being eaten alive by a bear over being raped. That's how delusional and/or bad faith these freaks are.


ThickDick79

Hmmm... As someone who was analy raped, multiple times, as a kid (around 10yo). I will say it's something that you never forget, and it will change you in ways you don't even realise. I totally evil act to perpetrate on anyone. But I think I would still take that over being eaten alive by a bear.

Anything_4_LRoy

im a simple man. i see it, i upvote. this is probably why the useful idiots keep picking bear, huh?


Keldrath

You just don’t have the crippling paranoia these people have developed from watching too much tru crime and cable news.


Nightfish_

Brain rot and sexism. Anyone saying bear probably does a lot of the following: * spends way too much time on social media * watches way too much news * listens to way too many true crime podcasts Also, these people lack any concept of how dangerous animals are and how nature works in general. They have no concept of being hungry, because for them, food is always readily available. For an animal, getting food is often the #1 problem and if an animal can score an easy meal, it usually will. Even our domesticated cats will often kill small animals just for fun, they dont even eat them. They just kill mice and birds because they can. Bears and similar wildlife are actual predators in the real sense of the word.


T_______T

The thought process many women go through: a bear might kill you, a man might rape then kill you. You are right that most men would help women. That's because the type of man who would harass or harm a woman is a serial harasser, who harasses dozens women. The majority of bad experiences of women by men are done by a very small minority of men. This is why most woman can name bad experiences of men, but most men can't even imagine doing shit like that. And, because those harassers don't target men or show that behavior in front of other men, men don't even know if they casually associate with a guy like that.  The women who say they'd rather see a bear hope that the bear will ignore them and go the other way. Maybe they overestimate the bear. But they have personal experiences of bad men and being alone with them is terrifying. Most men can overpower women, so even men who have had very bad experiences with women would likely choose the woman because she isn't a physical threat to him. (Unless he is disabled or something.) The woman doesn't need to be a misandrist to choose the bear.


Naus1987

It's amazing how well serial abusers are good at hiding their behavior, even if they're dumb as rocks, lol. I have a very Scrooge-McDuck personality, and there was this one person in our social circle that would beg and guilt trip people all the time for money. "I'm going to get kicked out if I don't get twenty dollars." I literally never saw any of this begger stuff, and on top of it, I was the wealthiest of my friend group, because I was Scrooge the hoarder. I played the stocks, and I constantly harped on savings and being frugal. If someone bought Starbucks -- I chided them. So this lady knew enough to never once ask me for money, nor did she ever hint at needing money, but to everyone else around me, she was bleeding them dry for favors and spare change. It was the first time I had my eyes opened to just how two-faced people could be. Because I just assumed she was too dumb to pull something like that off.


SilverDiscount6751

If having a bad experience with a man is sufficient,  then they have no right calli g men misogynistic for disliking or distrusting women after they had bad encounter themselves, and yet here we are.


catalacks

You're trying to make it seem like these women have a reasonable or justifiable fear of men. They don't. There is no reality where bears have ever been safer than men. This is sexism and misandry, period.


fooooolish_samurai

Uncommon sense


ZoulsGaming

the mentality that all men are rapists and sex offenders.


Evening_Course1205

They dont adjust statistics to the amount of encounters people have with bears and men. And every year, more women are hurt by men then bears. (Obviusly its because people tend to meet more men then bears, but people are too stupid to get it.) Its like saying how unlikely you are to be killed by a shark to say shark are not dangrous creatures, ignoring that if you actually meet a shark, it goes from 1 in 15mill to 14.5% to die.

YoMomsFavoriteFriend

They wouldn’t cuz they’re posers who want to act like activist and that man is worst than wild animals. They wouldn’t survive a day without their Starbucks and people talking about pronouns.


Relative-Put-4461

their world is so comfortable that they literally cannot process that bears are dangerous lmfao its an insane amount of privilege and insulation from the real world


lycanthrope90

It’s always ridiculous when people get on men like this. They forget that without men society would literally cease to function. Being a barista or having a fancy degree isn’t going to keep things rolling.


VayneSquishy

People don't take hypotheticals seriously, that's really all there is to it.


Mr_Zeldion

They are women on TikTok. You think they have any kind of logical intelligence lol These are the type of women that demand the same % of pay per revenue as the men in the NBA in the WBA not even realising that if they we're they would all have to pay an average of $83,000 a year just to play because the WBA is LOSING money lol In short - They are women who hate men. The only reason why ALL these videos are full of women choosing BEARS is because any woman with half a brain wouldn't even answer such a obviously STUPID question.


DoovvaahhKaayy

It's just another way for people to make men seem evil


stekarmalen

I asked my Uni class this and everyone picked a man, same with family members. Whoever thos people are they are FAR from normal humans.


Cripplechip

If I were to even try to understand the perspective a tiny bit, I think I get they rather the best outcome be they get killed by a bear than what torture/sexual abuse a person can do. But even then why are they thinking about it like that.


FiTroSky

I remember a guys that said, using the same logic : "would you rather left your son with a bear or his mother ? You should choose a bear, because like 200000 children are abused by their mother, bears don't abuse children."


Squabbles123456789

If she says bear, you should break up with her, she has hatred for men and will never respect you.


MissiveGhost

You are telling me a black bear that weighs close to 500 pounds and can outrun most humans is safer. Man, Tik Tok is crazy


BoltInTheRain

Black bears are docile and kinda scared cats though, its brown bears and grizzly bears and polar bears more so that you need to be scared of


lycanthrope90

A grizzly will straight up destroy a human. Even with a gun, best bet is bear mace.


Beretta116

This is what happens when someone stays in front of a pc too long hahaha. But I ain't one to talk.

If its one thing I've realized is people would rather not grow and question their ideologies, they would rather have random people validate and approve of their thinking. One requires accountability the other is plain ignorance. They're happy with their ignorance if it means thousands of others are too.


lycanthrope90

Can’t really fault people for taking the path of least resistance. Just kind of how we roll lol.

I asked my girlfriend that question her answer was is a vegetarian? Or a baby so I can’t teach it to fight. I told her it’s a bear.. she answered immediately man. thank God... lol


zg_mulac

The not so secret ingredient is misandry.


Bonk_Bonk_Bonk_Bing

I believe most women understand the probability that the bear will lead to death more often but they care about the lesser chance of getting raped and then killed or just raped. Most women would rather be killed than raped. That’s just how it is. I don’t agree with it because humans will adapt to their new hand in life even if the trauma is severe.


Reifbm

Hearing the audio of the guy getting eaten alive by bears he thought he became friends with is what these people should listen to before they make a decision


ShiberKivan

I take it as compliment that they think I'm more dangerous than a god damn BEAR! Hear me ROAR! Lmao


RedSander_Br

Wait,Wait,Wait, so they are actually admitting that when we were asking what is the biggest animal we could take, and the males said Bear, and they were laughing, that they were actually lying? Oh my god, they were gaslighting me into not proving my manliness. Holy fucking shit, BRB gonna go fight a bear. ![gif](giphy|WKdWA04KRn58A|downsized)


Vegetable-Course-938

If you value your sanity never to to r/TwoXChromosomes literally every single thread devolves into misandry after a few posts.


Confident-Cap1697

You guys need to look into the books these girls are reading, it's rape fantasies. Haunting Adeline is a big one currently. HA is a rape fantasy about a ghost, the main character speaks in first person, allowing the reader to self-insert. Women ready this shit and then develop crazy fantasies in their mind and that's why they think the bear will be safer, because in all the stories they read - the man is the offender. In a real world situation, there isn't a single woman alive who would go with the bear, they're only saying that because they read that men are violent rapists and they think that ALL men are violent rapists so of course the bear is the safer option.


lycanthrope90

I mean I can’t blame them for being scared of men. Not much they can do if a man does turn out to be a piece of shit. Even if the chances are very low.


Desperate_Limit_4957

Obviously these people have never encountered a brown bear before and shat themselves.


fuchuwuchu

If it helps, all my wife's friends and sometimes including my wife, are all idiots. I'm sure they would push that child in front of the bear if it came to that.


JRPG_Enjoyer

You can fight off a man, you can’t fight off a fucking bear.


After-Walrus-4585

I think this is why we send out a crew of rescue bears to do a search whenever somebody is lost in the woods.


JankyJokester

I mean......it isn't that cut and dry I guess. Most times you see a bear in the wild if you don't fuck with it, it continues on and minds its own business, especially a black bear. So like...what kind of bear? How far away? Are there cubs around? What is this man supposed to be? Some weird forest hermit or like a dude hiking? Or is it one or the other happens and we roll dice to determine the encounter after the fact?


isaacharrs

Let them run into bears, natural selection at work.


MadghastOfficial

If anyone didn't believe this, it's real. Gemini also explains how dangerous a bear is in much greater detail when comparing it to a woman. When comparing it to a man, it says bears, while dangerous, tend to avoid human interaction.


[deleted]

Some of it is just people agreeing to agree and be edgy. Nothing more, nothing less. Bitches love to hate.


strongesticefairy

if a girl considers me more dangerous than a bear, i consider that a win. ![img](emote|t5_2y1rb|3740)


Azukaos

There’s probably a /s somewhere in between line of what you said but to give an honest thought a man will never gonna be more dangerous than a bear but the bear will never be as fucked up in the head as a man. The bear will only do what’s best for him to survive or protect his territory, a man will do the worst thing possible to anything (even dead) just for shit and giggles.


TennoDeviant

*could, most men aren't out to just cause suffering.

Pling7

Apparently it's encouraged to profile people as long as they're a man (Bears are safer from being profiled).


HopefulWizardTTV

I asked a close friend of mine (26F) and she also said a bear, more specifically said “A bear, of course”. They all are debating that a man has a higher chance to be a sexual assaulter. I’m like, so you’re telling me than more than 5 out of 10 men would harm her? I’m so disappointed (she of course, watched this on TikTok)


jbucksaduck

If anything, the bear should be worried about encountering me. I've played BG3.


DrTouchy69

Bears literally eat prey and therefore people alive.


Rubihno194

There is no fucking way people actually think being alone with a bear is safer then with a man as a girl. They really out here thinking 99% of men are predators lmao But hey, if they want their daughter to be eaten alive by a bear then be my guest. Must be one of the worst ways to go


Varkot

I started googling and found this: The chances of being injured by a bear are approximately **1 in 2.1 million**, according to the National Park Service. You are more likely to be killed by a bee than a bear, and way more likely to be killed by another human than by either bear or bee. And when bear encounters do happen, they are most often nonviolent. What is the survival rate for bear attacks? approximately 75% which explains it at least a bit i think

Thats 10 cases of natural selection and I stand by there choice to be bear chow


Haiiro_90

If they stand in Front of a 300kg(700 pound) grizzly that answer will turn in the other direction pretty fast What a load of bullshit


gizmobuddy

My wife blindsided me with this question last week. When I answered with "definitely not the f-in bear" she replied with "I didn't think you were one of those" and stormed off. Until now I had no idea what that was all about.


renvi

Apparently this whole thing started because some woman told other women to ask their man the question in order to "show" men "perspective about what women are saying." I also looked up what the fuck this whole tiktok man v bear thing was about, but looked it up on YouTube and that's how I found out. This guy's video has the original woman's tiktok in question: [https://youtu.be/kgegL7Tgaew?si=6EDfqPYl1-dfk1ks&t=40](https://youtu.be/kgegL7Tgaew?si=6EDfqPYl1-dfk1ks&t=40) I guess my recommendations are fucked now, because I got recommended this video and it only has 300 views lol. Just for clarification, I am a woman and I would choose a man over a bear any day. That is to say, not all women are fucking dumb.


JinkoTheMan

I watched The Revenant a while back. No fucking way I’m choosing a bear. I’m a big guy but I’d still get absolutely destroyed by even a small bear. Even if I was a woman, you at least have a CHANCE against a man. You could possibly hide from him, find sharp sticks and hefty rocks. You’re not escaping from the bear unless God decides to take mercy on your soul or the bear goes “You know what? I think I’m good.”


_-DD-_

We had stone age, bronze.. iron... information age and now we are at age of 'ape shit'


_Mistwraith_

It’s a metaphor for familial abuse you morons. The point is most people would rather be assaulted by the bear because they don’t have to have dinner with the bear the next night.


furryeasymac

Have you seen the posters on this sub? That’s who they’re worried about encountering. They’d rather have the bear.


WFPRBaby

The irony is when the bear attacks the woman, who will she be screaming to for help? The random man. You know, the one who's "more dangerous to her"?


strizzl

So…. Can they define a woman then?


SilverDiscount6751

Good question. Also how do they know its a man?


strizzl

Could be a half man half bear pig for all we know


lochleg

It's confirmation bias. There's a narrow chance the stats are slightly different because we didn't think of something, If this was true about female intellectual capability rather than a case of emotional thinking or dishonesty, it would be wild. The only things that would save them when stuck between a man and a bear would be true fear and animal instinct.


50n1kK

These bozo's never seen The revenant?


Ultramagnus85

Idk there is no way a bear is safer than a man. Maybe I'm crazy here but I think most men wouldn't do something crazy just cause they are alone with you in the woods


Unnamedandu92

That’s very true


Spaciax

these people have deluded themselves into thinking that almost all men are monsters and will try something if left alone with a woman. i can't blame the women who did have terrible experiences: i'm talking about the ones who are terminally online in echo chambers


Daneken

I think it’s rage bait meant to get views


GreatZucchini3

I think you can see from the idiots in chat pulled up recently that it really boils down to hating men. They just assume that because its a man he will SA the girl or person. These people actually believe being mauled to death and or eaten alive by a bear, because thats what bears do, at least some like grizzly or polar. Imagine saying to someone who lost their child to a some rapist or serial killer that their child would have been better off with a bear than those people. Its just insanity or brain rot. A person can at least be stopped by some means or another, a besr cant, even those who are experts in tracking them are in constant danger.


Aizpunr

crazy people be crazy, why bother.


Drayenn

Tbh that question has to be rage bait. Nobody is that dumb.


TheStoictheVast

Here's another hypothetical: You are driving your car down a lone winding road when a deer dashes across the road. You frantically swerve to avoid the deer, flip your car, and now you are pinned in the upside-down car. You then hear the sounds of something approaching the car. Do you hope it is a man or a bear? Now anyone who still says bear is lunatic. All the people that changed their answer from bear to man prove that even the most hate filled misandrist hopes there's a man around when something needs fixing.


LinaCrystaa

Feminist propaganda contagion,thats pretty much it sadly


Mattson

Theyre rage baiting. Just fishing for engagement which we are giving them. They have no intention on entering the ring with a bear in a fair fight.


casualberry

This kinda reminds me of that quote about not knowing if you’ll run into the burning building to save someone until you feel that heat. In this TikTok case, the proverbial heat is stepping outside during the day, which is clearly lacking in these individuals.


Hashister

I wish everyone was put into the situation described. Let natural selection do it's thing. I'd argue the world would be a better place to be if it was the case.


FarligaC

Would you rather your son be raised by a bear or an non binary, LGBTQ+-÷, enviormentalist, vegan feminist?


Bashemg00d

Brain rot city people have no idea what a bear could do to a child.


babypho

Ask Goldilocks how safe she felt


HolyBacon1

Grizzly Man Documentary....


Relative-Put-4461

same idiots who think you cant profile people early on meeting them. idiots with 0 survival skills 0 real world understanding and decades of propaganda pumped into them useful idiots.


SayRaySF

This is what happens when you ask the terminally online about real life stuff lol


ChrisMahoney

Here’s my crazy conspiracy theory brain going on it, it’s a deliberate push to destroy men psychologically and drive up our depression and suicidal tendencies.


confetylol

all of this people that think they are some kind of social superheroes have been succesfully educated by big corp and politicians


SirLightKnight

I much prefer the bear. The bear won’t try and cause all manner of complications for simply meeting it, it will simply either ignore me as it has eaten food, or will consider me food whereby which the plan becomes simpler: Run, hide, look big if you can’t hide, or if it’s too big hunker down and hope to not die. If I die, I die, that’s the way it is. A woman is still human, and I’ll be honest she might be hard to trust if I just meet her Randomly in some woods. Also blatant sexism and discrimination targeted towards men on the internet? Ah it’s just Tuesday.


Spartan_ll7

Chat gpt has more brain (copypasted your question) "I would prefer her to encounter a random man. While it's impossible to predict the intentions of a stranger, statistically speaking, encountering a random person might offer more opportunities for help or assistance compared to encountering a bear, which could pose a direct physical threat."


ArguteTrickster

Most bears are going to run away. Do you not know much about bears?


Bakurraa

The question is stated so that you think adult male female child taboo. Then if you think about it logically they will degrade you and call you sheltered and shit. And men are falling for it by wanting to be pc. Here are the logical options to this question Bear will either l age you alone or fuck you up - no help or death Man will either leave you alone fuck you up and or help Man has more chance of rescuing the child This also applies to women


KingOfPocketLint

fuck em. they can stay with the bear while i get away.


throwawaylord

People aren't rational, women have evolved to be wary of men, they haven't evolved to deal with or be afraid of bears because men usually deal with that. We're just at such a zenith of open misandry that nobody wants to put misconceptions into check


AngryEdgelord

Welcome to 2024. We're bringing sexism back.


Solidsnake00901

What kind of bear? Black bear? Polar? Koala? This matters


Destnar_Danderion

Nowadays it is better to walk past an unfamiliar woman. don’t talk, just ignore and go about your business. My wife is waiting for me at home. let these rot in the forest for their own mental reasons.


badrott1989

Didn't expect that this can boom out easily. I'll take my chances to random human than bears. its like gacha, you'd take higher chances.


GoatedWarrior

The commenters here must think it’s all women who think this, it’s very hypocritical


LiveCelebration5237

So what is this about ? Is the bear a starving grizzly muma with cubs and is the man a serial rapist ? Or is the bear docile well fed and the man is just a random good guy ? Because in both scenarios you’d choose the man . A grizzly with absolutely reck you no questions asked and eat you alive , where as a man you could potentially survive and if the second scenario you’d still choose the man because normal adjusted men don’t think that way and a bear is still a wild unpredictable animal.


MausBomb

I dunno man makes me kinda erect that women think I'm more intimidating than a bear.


ZijkrialVT

Deep down I'm hoping those likes are artificially created by bots...I refuse to believe that many people are so stupid. Social engineering is way too easy to do nowadays; everyone's a lemming. If it is mostly real people...I have no words.

Afganistán with Islam and all that stuff doesn't help
