Tap for contextSome 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

This was one of those toxic questions designed to cause people to argue. That's really its ONLY purpose. It really only has 2 answers, and both can be interpreted as toxic.

My 2 cents though, here in Australia, you'll occasionally get a question about staying safe when hiking as women.

You'll have a huge majority of women saying its safe to hike in Australia, and then 1 or 2 women encouraging women to bring knives or weapons. The ones who claim this then get a huge negative response by both women and guys pointing out it makes things more dangerous for everyone and that nobody needs them.

As a male guide also, I've actually found it difficult to find other guys to hike with, but it is incredibly trivial for me to find women to join me (in fact, doing one this upcoming weekend).

So, interpret that as you will, but, honestly, the people who are incredibly invested in either of these answers, in my opinion, nobody would want to hike with regardless (bears, other women or men), so the answer doesn't affect them.

I think men are out at this point. The question of "Bear Vs. Shark" however is still unanswered?

well a shark can't swim out of the water, and it would also die. Unless we're in an underwater forest, in which case we can't breath. So uh...

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.

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
