Tap for context
Some woman on the internet said she would feel safer spending a night in the woods with a random bear rather than with a random man
The bear discourse is the true measure of whether a given man is a red or green flag.
i’m aro/ace and have an intense aversion from interacting with people. I’m pretty sure that’s a green flag?
I don t think thats right , I think everyone just underestimate the danger of a bear .
Have you spoken to women about it?

You’ll often hear smart-alec martial arts masters say that the best self-defence technique is the 400m sprint, but they couldn’t be more wrong. In truth it’s the 1km parcour.
A colored flag means a sign giving a clue on something. It doesn’t define a person, and can only be used to describe some abstract fact. You can say “getting angry when talking about the bear discourse” is a redflag, but saying “a man is a red flag” is not correct
Yes, that’s my point. The response to the bear discourse reveals red or green flags.
Just saying you didn’t know how to use those words
I do, lol.
Syntactically they should have used ‘displays’ not ‘is’ a green or red flag, but everyone divined the meaning of the damned sentence and the internet is garbage so who gives a rats
I could fuck up any guy who tries to mess with me. A bear, not so much…
But at least I could reason with a bear.

Sure you can Steve Irwin, I somehow doubt that the bear can reason with you though.
I think something else was in my bear pill
Why, that looks like a perfectly healthy bear to me

Some woman
Not “some woman” — quite a few women. Lots of women.

Changes their answers considerably
“If you change the context, the context changes”
Why do you feel the need to make this racist
Don’t feed the troll.
*then
beardown
did… did you make this account just to insert racist bullshit into the bear meme?
Even more surprising is that it’s a reference to a show that makes fun of racism and racist people all the time. ‘Bear down for finals’
I’m a man and even I would pick a bear

The scale is shark > bear > man > moose. Don’t fuck with moose.
Large prey animals in general. I see a hippo im running
Won’t help, those fuckers go 30 mph. Usain bolt only managed 23 dot something for comparison
I mean… on sight doesn’t mean they’re already chasing, the point is to avoid that
Don’t make eye contact, don’t attract attention, get the almighty fuck out.
Man is more unpredictable than bear. I know A bear can kill me, but I have no idea what a random man has in mind for me.
Bear: Couldn’t tell you what he’s up to even if it wanted to
Men: Can actually listen and talk their intentions.
Why is a man less predictable in this case? You all just claim things without the slightest bit of argument behind it… so please tell my why that would be the case.
Thanks.
The random man probably hasn’t anything in mind for you, just minding his own business.
This has a strong “at least they’re honest about wanting to kill me!” energy lol.
Or maybe the whole thing is a joke. I honestly can’t tell

Where are you getting these odds from? For how many people live in bear regions, go camping/hunting/biking etc, there have not been that many bear attacks. Source

I too prefer chubby hairy men.
finally, someone who gets me.
Because a nice bear is going to ask for consent, and might snuggle you and…wait. What kind of bear are we talking about?
I’d rather do neither but at least I know all the safety guidelines for how to not get a bear to tear my ass apart
Right, this is what folks aren’t understanding.
Yes a big ass bear is clearly more dangerous but like in reality the random man is much more variable and there are WAY more examples of what we’re capable of as opposed to what a bear does.
A bears nature is understood.
Yes a big ass bear is clearly more dangerous
If it is a black bear, which 99 percent of the time it would be, nah, the man is more dangerous. Black bears are scaredy cats.

Also a bear wouldn’t lie about the attack
A bear won’t try to convince you that you weren’t really assaulted and accuse you of just wanting attention
I am unironically bearpilled in this context. Men can be fucking scary with women. At least I’m unlikely to be SA’d before I die, with the bear.
Weird that you’re so afraid of black men that you’d prefer a bear over them.
This is how George Floyd happens
What the fuck did I say about black men? White men (men, regardless of race, for that matter) scare the fuck out of me my guy
That’s not a man, that’s a troll.
Yeah I realised after a while. What a sad human.
You’re thinking Emmitt Til and that wasn’t because the white woman was afraid, it was because she was willing to go along with the white men.
You’re right. A bear wouldn’t sexually assault you, he would simply kill you.
A polar bear likely
A brown bear maybe
A black bear unlikely
or eat you alive.
Yes! As opposed to the man, who would SA me and then kill me!
And also possibly eat you.
Look canonically the worst a bear will ever do is two out of three, only men have hit the hat trick
Why by default man is a serial killer and sa? What are the odds that dude is a psycho? What are the odds that bear is a killer? Do you understand how hard it is psychologically to murder someone if you are a normal person?
Somebody’s consumed too much tiktok paranoia porn
Are you referring to me? I wouldn’t touch tiktok with a 10 foot pole, or any of the infinite scroll short form video things for that matter. I’m not on twitter either. Or tumblr.
My POV is based on my personal experience and the experiences of women around me. And statistics!
The man is not “by default” a serial killer and sa, its just a possibility I don’t want to entertain.
And yes, hello, I am normal person. I understand how hard it is psychologically to murder someone. I also know how hard it is psychologically to SA someone. And yet…
This is a “this is the option I would take” situation. I didn’t insult anyone, I didn’t say YOU have to take the bear. If you disagree, that’s perfectly okay, but you can’t tell me how I should feel, despite many men thinking that’s acceptable.
Typical woman putting words in my mouth. I am not planning to change your pov bur want to understand the logic behind it
Typical woman
as always, the people most upset about the bear thing just so happen to also be sexists.
Your comment was clearly not from a position of wanting to understand.
And that’s why we pick the bear.
You know what a bear’s gonna do. You never know if a man is gonna turn into an abusive cunt.
Most men won’t even look at your fat ass in the forest as you will be burden for him. For bear you will be a snack
stop, I can only get so bearect
Odds of a sexual abuser need not be high for the man, they’re simply 0% for the bear.
Genderes are a problem, races are a problem, creeds are a problem, sports preferences are a problem, anything will do… as long as we stay divided and subjugated.
Yes, and this whole story shows how far we are going. Society isn’t doing well at all
“Question. What kind of bear is best?”
For survival: black bear
For dying: polar bear
If you want a surprise: brown bear (although they also won’t kill you if you stay away from them)
Identity theft is not a joke, Jim.
Ice bear best bear
Idk Pan-Pan is pretty cute. Ice Bear is cool though.
Not the bear market
The irony of men not understanding why women would choose the bear is insane.
Last I checked men killed other men just as much. Ask yourself the same question, and empathize a little bit.
Men seriously feeling the need to convince the world that they are not as dangerous as a wild bear.
hexbear.net users ahead of the curve
That post frustrated the fuck out of me. Like I get and agree with the point you’re trying to make. But no, if you were actually given that choice no reasonable person is actually going to pick the bear.
Why wouldn’t a reasonable person pick the bear? Plenty of people have just ordinary, totally safe experiences with bears in their normal lives. Meanwhile, they have ordinary SV committed against them by men in their normal lives. Why shouldn’t they pick the group that hasn’t been a constant threat to them? Its not asking you to try to pick a fight with the bear.

Because you’re comparing a wild animal that can easily kill you with a single swipe, with a random normal person?

I can, with 10,000,000,000% certainty tell you that way more people have vastly more ordinary, totally safe experiences with random men in their normal lives than with bears.
Because you’re comparing a wild animal that can easily kill you with a single swipe, with a random normal person?
Can easily kill is different than likely to. Plus, the same is true of any human, but they’re also much more likely to have outcomes far worse than quickly being just being killed. Its a random person in the woods, not just a *normal *person (whatever “normal” is supposed to mean). But honestly, I don’t think I’d put it past many “normal” humans (men and women) to commit at least minor SV in the “right” circumstances.
I can, with 10,000,000,000% certainty tell you that way more people have vastly more ordinary, totally safe experiences with random men in their normal lives than with bears.
Sure, but I’m just as certain that women have far more experiences with SV from humans than any violence from bears. Even if they’re actual survivors of bear attacks, they’re likely the victim of far more SV by men.
The bear isn’t likely to want to screw with you.

Aren’t both choices technically apex predators?
I’m not trying to make a point tbh. It’s one of those questions where there is no right answer due to many details not being said in the question
Sorry, by “you” I mean the original OP
yeah, they would
You share your world with random men you don’t know every single day. How often do you walk through a bear encloser at a zoo?
yeah, but nobody asks what you were wearing when you’re attacked by a bear :)
