MODERATORS
Don't you think this is subject to sampling bias? How much time do women spend with bears versus men?
My wife was recently in a forest with a random bear. The bear walked away.
My mother and sister told a story of meeting a bear on a trail. The bear walked away.
A large percentage of women I have met have a story about a problem with an aggressive man at some point.
Yeah, but you're contrasting 2 bear encounters with hundreds if not thousands of encounters with people. You encounter way more often men than bears and if you want to use the math argument you have to account for this.
You're over here. That light over there in the distance? That's their point, you missed it by a mile.
Yeah, that's kind of the point. Bears tend to avoid women rather than hunt them down.
