The entire argument of a woman meeting a bear or a random man in the woods is dumb from the start.
Most bears would run away from a human in the woods, a normal human is not seen as prey in most situations.
So this makes the argument more like asking:
Would you rather catch a glimpse of a bear in the woods or meet a random man in the woods?
Which makes far more sense both logically and emotionally, especially when people pick the bear over the man.
As a man, the original question about meeting a man or a bear in the woods, initially triggered a feeling of being compared to a lethal animal or certain death, and coming up short.
This obviously feels unfair to most men (and to be completely fair, it IS completely unfair to most men).
However, looking at the more realistic outcome of “meeting” a bear, i.e. catching a glimpse of it, it makes far more sense.
Sorry for the ramble, I am just annoyed at the stupid question and got caught up overanalyzing it.
You’d have women who had absolute jerks for bf’s, or you know…got SA’d, so they are more likely to pay attention to a questionnaire like that, and have a rather negative view of men as a whole. Social media also amplifies outrage, and tends to encourage certain attitudes.
Tbf, if you meet a random man in the woods you’re also not likely to be raped and murdered, which is the assumption the question is based on.
If we’re to talk about actual probable outcomes the question becomes “would you rather glimpse a bear, or walk past a guy and say ‘hey’ to each other while you both continue along your respective paths.”
I’ve seen many men while in the woods, at most we end up smoking a J together. This is a much more realistic outcome of “meeting” a man in the woods.

Also, men who feel the need to argue about why choosing the bear is “wrong” are the reason that most women choose the bear in the first place.
When I first I saw this question, I was one of those who got triggered, but since then I found that this question was just ragebait.
As I stated above, it is perfectly resonable for a woman to prefer to catch a glimpse of a bear in the woods, than meeting a random man.
It is sad, but it is reality, and we can’t loose sight of it as that will prevent progress.
To be fair, the women who would answer that question first, are the ones who had umm…experiences with men, not good ones.
That’s some incredible sexism, holy shit.

We need to do an actual study imho.
It’s weird that we even assume people arguing the bear is wrong are men, I’ve had three people do that to me in this thread so far.
