If you believe you’re less likely to be in danger with a bear than a man, you’re just sexist.

Or maybe people don’t like being roped in with terrible people based on a part of them that they have no control over? Just a thought.

Hopefully around 6 inches otherwise I’m screwed

That sounds like something out of a fallout fanfiction

It’s not every man, no.

The survey said “man or bear”. Not “rapist or bear”. So yes, this is absolutely targeting men as a whole. Don’t piss in my mouth and call it lemonade.

. Almost all people that commit sexual assault are men. (Of the men that are sexually assaulted, most are, yes, assaulted by other men.)

All that has been reported, yes. It is a common occurrence for men to not report being sexually assaulted, and there have been cases where they were literally turned away. I’m by no means an extrovert, and I know at least 3 men who were sexually assaulted by WOMEN as children and it never resulted in any form of justice. One of them was laughed at when they told a trusted adult.

Keeping in mind that >80% of all women have been the target of unwanted sexual attention from a man, how would you expect them to identify and avoid threats?

Assuming unwanted sexual attention includes any form of unwanted sexual advances, unwanted sexual attention is NOT equivalent to rape and you are doing rape victims a massive disservice by trying to lump them into the same issue.

My dude, I live in bear country

That’s awful convenient

The average number of people killed by bears each year in the US is 1.6. That’s it. Not even two people, on average, per year, in a country of 340,000,000 people. So, no, they are not likely to maul you to death.

None of this changes the fact that they would trust a wild animal as powerful as a bear to over a fellow human being they know nothing about. It’s sexism. Naked sexism. You can try to justify and twist it, but it’s sexism all the same. I apply my principles evenly. Do you?

This is the exact same logic that racists use to excuse their prejudice against others. They assume black people are criminals because “FBI crime statistics”. You are using tragedy to excuse your hatred for half of the human population.

Assuming every man is a rapist is prejudice and is both morally and practically wrong. Men are half the population of the world.

Also, this is not a reason to answer bear on the survey unless you’re just trying to stick it to men (because of your prejudice). If you prefer to be in the company of an extremely powerful animal that is likely to maul you to death than a member of half the population, you are absolutely out of your mind and are obscenely sexist.

Because the women who answered bear on the survey have extreme contempt for men. They see men as evil predators and not people.

Yes - it’s called my fucking electricity bill.

Famines happen regardless of political system.

They’re both focused on profit. The only reason you see the other one as scary is because it’s owned by the scary scary Chinese. Red scare all over again.

“In my household, the only addictive spyware we use is made in the USA!!!”

Edit: everyone below me is proving my point exactly.

This song makes me feel like I could throw a train into the sun

Yeah but those uncomfortable facts get in the way of making china look scary for the next red scare

I don’t think you understand my point.

Let’s break this down by making up a hypothetical sexual history for the woman in question:

Guy 1 - Committed relationship, waited 3 months

Guy 2 - Casual fling, no waiting

Guy 3 - Committed relationship, waited 2 date

Guy 4 - Casual relationship, no waiting

Guy 5 - Hookup, no waiting

If, now that she’s seeing guy 6, she magically decides it’s time to be responsible and wait for a while. Any guy that has self respect isn’t going to tolerate that. Why is this new guy so different than than the previous ones? Why does she make him wait, but none of the previous men?

Anyone is going to figure that she is 1. Not attracted to him and is settling down after having fun to secure stability, or 2. Has cognitive dissonance about her past. A guy not accepting that and being skeptical of her intentions or level of honesty is fully justified.

And for the record, I apply my principles evenly between men and women. Casual sex is disgusting and a long sexual history is a sign of impulsive, irresponsible behavior or placing no value on your body or relationships. Man or woman.

Men don’t go for that because she didn’t make previous guys wait until marriage.

Making rules for those you “settle” for that did not previously apply is egregious hypocrisy.

Being an ugly woman is not nearly the struggle that being an ugly man is. Women who aren’t attractive need to approach at all and they’ll have more success than ugly men who approach twice as often.

I’ll check it out soon. Just hard to commit to a change on my phone, if that makes sense? I’m kinda weird.

I recommend arch to a first time user…once. because he said he wanted to have Linux as a new hobby of sorts. Everyone else I recommend Pop! Or Fedora most of the time.

I’ve considered it but got cold feet.

I have an LG V30. Not sure how popular it is for Lineage should I need help troubleshooting, and not sure if the DAC AMP will still work.

Also a too large amount of my digital life is in Google. Once I actually get away from it, it’ll be a lot easier to make the jump.

I’m stuck on android 9 unfortunately. I didn’t realize how far behind it was.

Don’t remember exactly when I purchased this phone, but it was a while ago. It’s getting to the point where I need a new one, but everything kinda sucks at the moment.
