For the record I support multi gender spaces but I am apparently in the minority of people who thinks bears are scary

    The beauty of the question lies in its vagueness because that forces you to work with averages. On average, is a woman safer in the woods with a man or a bear?

    Average woman crosses paths with hundreds of thousands of men in their life

    Average woman likely never sees a bear in their life even once

    Hmm I wonder why you can find more examples of male violence??

    A bear will act like a bear. It’s predictable and it’s going to avoid you if it can. It’s not going to pester you for a date and then monologue about the Godfather trilogy.

    Meanwhile like half of recorded bear attacks are nightmare fuel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_bear_attacks_in_North_America

      Maybe you missed my edit where I included the ending. You definitely missed the main point of the article

        Yeah I missed your edit

        Ok so they are scared of men so would rather be eaten by a bear. I don’t see that as somber I see that as a lack of any common sense and it also makes me feel sad that we are this disconnected from nature

        Do these folks know what happens when you see a bear? The fight or flight response your body has is ridiculous. Because evolution has it baked into our brains that bear = danger. I mean the last time I was charged by a bear, the guy I was with actually pissed himself lol

        NONE of these women, if actually found in this supposed hypothetical situation, are going to choose bear
