Tell me why the majority of people who watched & commented on this video actually searched up "man vs bear debate" AND that 80% of the viewers and commentators are men. I was just looking to know my fellow women’s input on this question 😅
The reason is simple. Men are now being compared to wild animals like they are all dangerous murderous r@pists. How would you feel if the majority of men started saying women are like (insert animal) eg. cow or horse, all their only purpose is eg. breeding, servitude or shit like that. Do you see how fucked up this is. Sorry for being vulgar. But im tired of being seen as a villian.
you’re deleting ENTIRE threads yet you advocate so strongly for equality and expressing your opinion, you are so blatantly contradictory and it’s so pathetic to see when someone actually challenges your delusional beliefs. this is not a ‘debate’ it’s comparing a wild animal to a human being. you should be ashamed of yourself, look into more constructive and useful ways to support and advocate for gender disparities in women this is why you’re getting an influx of negative comments. Be truthful and have humility and you wouldn’t have to delete 30+ comment long threads just because they make you look bad. there’s no shame in being ignorant, but when you choose to be ignorant and try to silence the people engaging in conversation with you is when it’s sad
Because real women would never choose bear and they won't tell you that. Did you know studies done by women have show women don't tell women the truth.
That right there is the problem with modern western women. You think men shouldn't speak. That we shouldn't have a voice. No lady, you participated in a sexist trope, we don't care if you want women's opinions. Men have opinions on abortion, and we have an opinion on your sexism. Cope
a bear for sure! cause not all men are bad and interested in hurting me. also, a bear is faster, more deadly (usually) and most of the time bigger. i also feel like it would 100% try to kill me 😭
As a woman who's spent a lot of time in the woods who's encountered both bears and random men this question took me less than a second to answer: bear. Oh the whole, you can predict a bear's behaviour, as long as you follow some basic safety rules and don't smear yourself in peanut butter or carry fish in your pockets (both instances of actual bear attacks that I know of), the chances of getting attacked by a bear are very small. With random men, you have no idea what their intentions are, what they're thinking, or what they might do. I've known a women who was camping who had a random man try to get into her tent at night and the only reason he didn't was the woman had ziptied her tent zipper shut. So yeah, bear.
Honestly would rather choose the bear over a woman, just cause I’ve had my fair share of abuse as a child from my mother and other babysitting women. I’ve had women stalk me home, it was to the point where I’ve had to call the cops numerous times so yeah, women can be pretty freaking scary, I’m choosing the bear 🤷🏿♂️
And that's why I would choose the bear also, as a woman I have been psychologically tortured and raped by men. Why the hell would I choose a strange man I don't know over a bear?
Girl here, because of your experiences it sounds reasonable and logical to be afraid of women. Personally i would like to choose the bear, worst thing that could happen is me dying, but im scared that with a man worse things could happen to me. Of course this is my opinion lol

Men fear the consequences of failure and being perceived as inferior. Women have the same fucking fears. My advice, try to be a little less judge mental over insecurities, when everyone has them. Also wild that women say fear of men, a single step from being a misandrist tbh.
I would be more scared to be in a forest with a man I didn’t know, one cause if I was just walking through a forest that didn’t have a clear path and was just a forest and I saw a random man there by himself I would terrified and run off, but if you see a bear there it’s more normal still scary, but it’s more normal to see a bear than a random man.
As someone who grew up in Alaska, I've been alone in the woods with a Grizzly bear multiple times, and I'd way rather choose to meet another bear vs. taking my chances with a random man in the woods. A bear in the woods is in it's home and doing its thing. As long as I mind my own business, make my presence known then the chance of being eaten alive is very very low. In general Bears want nothing to do with humans and unless it's very injured or extremely hungry or I give it a reason to feel threatened it's never going to mess with a human. While picking blueberries I've come across a mom with her cubs and it's really not that intimadating as long as you stay away from them they want nothing to do with you. Literally just talk and say "hey bear, i'm here" put your hands up and walk backwards so she knows you're not a threat and just go about your day. She's not going to randomly hunt you. However, a man in the middle of the wilderness is a very possibly a criminal or someone mentally disturbed and could do much worse to me then kill me and eat me alive. I love men and theres plenty of amazing men out there but I absolutely would rather take my chances with a bear.
Well if a bear did full-on rip apart by the bear at least it would be because of natural behavior and it would just kill me a man on the other hand is way more capable of worse stuff and keep in mind this is a random man I do not know. (most bears are scared of humans the same way most men are probably not dangerous)(worst case scenario)
Worst case scenario, the bear eats you alive vs wishing the man would just kill you. Either way you’re fucked, best to choose the option where your chances are significantly better.
ive seen men get soooo triggered over this, reflexively upset by the theatrics of it and trying to defeat it argumentatively before even engaging with the hypothetical, the purpose of which is to confront the question: *why* would women prefer the bear? its not that theyre unable to ask themselves that question, they don't want to, they don't want to confront the way things are because things are fine (for them), so they must be fine for everyone. they don't want to think about if the normal appearing guys around them have bad intentions (something women are taught by parents and friends and their own experiences to fear the possibility of) and they especially don't want to question how their own behavior might come off to women. keep comparing 'swiping strength' or w/e cuz its the easier conversation.
Women don’t give a rat’s ass about any problem men face in society, so why would a man take the time of day to ask himself “why do women feel this way?” As if you would provide us the same luxury.
No you are being intellectually dishonest. Being fearful of being attacked or abused by men? Valid. The average random man being more likely to assault than a wild bear. This is a lie. You cant use a lie to pedal truth
This debate seriously upsets me because of how much men are missing the point. I had faith most people would be caring and want to know why women would even consider the bear, because women should not have to be afraid of men. Instead I read many more comments that were very demeaning and antagonistic, insulting women; saying women are delusional, they’re radical feminists, they’re lying, they hate men, and so on. It only VALIDATES why many women in response would say the bear. The lack of empathy, compassion, care, willingness to understand, and even just downright hate is insane. I see apathy and hate for women who are explaining their experiences, and saying why they’d rather encounter a random bear than a random man. There is so much malice that men are making memes about women dying to the hypothetical bear, and how they would not help the woman to prove their point. They’re making up self-righteous scenarios where a woman dies to prove their point. They’re literally the ones perpetuating hate toward the opposite sex, and giving women more reason to have distrust and fear. It’s not women hating men, it’s women being afraid of men. That’s where the discussion should be. Why is this a problem? How do we approach it? How can we fix it? Then, from there, we make positive change. It’s important to note and take into consideration that it’s not even just women who’d rather choose the bear.. there are men saying they would also rather choose the bear for their own reasons. I really wish people were smarter, kinder, and more understanding to each other so we could faster progress toward positive changes in society, and tensions wouldn’t be so unreasonably high.
I completely understand but I don’t think this the right way to go about telling men about us being afraid of them to help one side we shouldn’t have to degrade the other to being less trustworthy than wild animals I understand the point of this debate i just don’t think it’s a good way of going about it
@@LightningIgnis That’s totally understandable, and maybe it isn’t the right way to go about discussing this topic. However, I don’t believe it’s meant to degrade or say men are less than animals, it’s meant to express that the possibility of encountering bad men frighten some more than a wild animal. If we’re being honest, as ruthless as the wilderness is, people can be the most dangerous and cruel. People also aren’t as predictable as many animals, and animals don’t usually hold ulterior motives and malicious-intent. It’s not just women who answer the bear, but some men too. I’m also not so sure that if one rephrased the hypothetical or switched their approach to the issue that many of these people would not continue to have some sort of problem, or gaslight women into say their problems do not exist and are trivial. Some would listen, but I’m almost certain most who have a big issue would still be saying lots of similar things in response as they are doing now, or the issue would be ignored all together by said people. Some are genuinely ignorant and don’t know any better, but others are just offended and don’t care about the REAL issue, or would still find a way to dismiss the problem. It’s very hard to configure a way to put things into perspective for people like this.
Chief, this ain’t about empathy or compassion, it’s about risk assessment. The question of “why” tends to lead towards misandrist anecdotes or baseless assumptions unrelated to the quarry. The question reveals the person’s faith or lack thereof of their fellow man, and it’s appalling to see the results.
@@senrye8273 Well, it is about empathy and compassion to a degree. People are dismissing the point trying to be brought up by arguing about the semantics of the question, instead of realizing it’s giving insight into the perspective of lots of women. It also shows a lack of trust because there IS a lack of trust-honestly, between both sexes, sadly. I hate to see it. While some might come from a place of misandry, because there’s always going to be.. those.. people, many others talking aren’t being misandrists. They’re sharing their valid concerns, and some of it is even coming from other men considering their daughters, significant others, or sisters. Sometimes even themselves. I’ve been writing a lot, it’s exhausting and I feel like I’m just repeating myself at this point. If you wanna hear more from me, I encourage you to read my third reply under the creator’s pinned comment. Thanks for your thoughts, and I genuinely wish you a nice day.
I think many of us didn’t really need to ask women why they chose the bear, that’s the thing. Many of us men know already that we are the more violent sex, the sex with more psychopaths, etc. You don’t need to compare us unfavorably with a bear for us to get the point. Just forget about the bear.
I know this question is aimed at woman but I will give my honest answer. as a man whos run into multiple bears (brown bears) while hiking, fishing or jogging. I will pick a bear for multiple reasons. (im not specifying woman or man just human in general) 1.bears are easier to read than a human. bears cant lie and stab you in the back or carry fire arms. 2.bear attacks are already pretty rare ive run into some grizzly bears multiple times. (most encounters go with the bear being in front of me in the trial or by my fishing spot. if its in front of me in the trial I will ready my bear spray and walk away backwards facing the bear most of the time the bear will walk off the trial and head into the forest where I will watch it make sure its gone and continue on my way. if its a fishing spot encounter Ill head back and come check in 2 hours to see if its gone if its not gone by the 2nd check Ill come fish another day.) 3. bears are still animals and most animals dont want problems with humans and will see you and walk away and continue with their day.
@@gbeach85 no need to insult me also yes people don't see bears alot but this doesn't mean bears don't see people Everytime they wonder around. They have some insane hearing and smelling capabilities. I'm sure for most cases bears have spotted me and done nothing before.
It depends on the man though. I'd be scared in both scenarios but if I'm stuck with a strange man I don't know and he has a knife, I'll go with the bear. At least the bear won't trick me or try to lure me in before it attacks me. Bears only attack if they're starving or if you provoke them.
Don’t get to choose or know, same goes for the man or bear. Man don’t know or care if you’re out there, bear don’t know or care either. You probably wouldn’t know either.
Honestly, if I really had the choice then neither. I want to come across absolutely nothing in the woods haha. But...I've worked in the woods my entire life and had no issues with bears but have had plenty of bad experiences with people. This debate has nothing to do with men for me. 🤷 From my experience, wild animals do not have the capacity for deception and will not hide their intentions. It's also important to actually think of the scenario. In the remote woods it's not surprising to see a bear but when you see another person you're instantly on edge wondering why they are there. If they aren't working, camping, or hunting then I would swap out for the bear any day 😂. The attempt at gaslighting I'm seeing also blows my mind...women being called crazy over choosing a bear and labelling all bears as dangerous and human-eaters which is incredibly ignorant to say and just isn't true. It also depends on where you live and the bear species there. Overall, it's a simple question, which people tend to over exaggerate. Context is important. If more insight into the scenario was given or the question was changed to "angry bear or angry man" answers may change but that isn't the point of simple, philosophical questions is it? haha.
You can fight a man far more effectively than a bear. It's called a glock. Pick it up or just admit you're just shitting on dudes. There's no way on earth you will survive a charging hungry grizzley.
@@user-qb4on2qm7z or if you're prepared and understand how to protect yourself/escape your chances increase significantly. Plus I'm from Eastern Canada where we have black bears, which are smaller and are not known as people eaters. The last attack that happened where I live happened decades ago. Certain bear species you only need to worry about their protective instincts to protect their babies and/or food supply. Not all bears want to eat you lol.
I find myself down the RUclips rabbit hole again. I get the responses and they are 100% justified. People are not reading between the lines but, I can feel a bit hurt and acknowledge the distrust women have towards men at the same time. I know myself so there is part of me that is sad that people will look at me with uncertainty and question my character but I can’t blame them. I’d rather someone be cautious and question things than them ever being put in a situation where it ends bad for them. So it’s a gut punch but I understand fully. Probably opening myself up to an attack but I stand by what I think.
Absolutely not. This warrants no attack, at all. All women want in this is to be heard. And you are hearing us. The "attacks" usually stem from the fact that a man commented in a way that insinuated he knew what we thought more than we did or that what we thought was ridiculous or that it’s not all men so we should be fine. These are the kinds of responses that make us feel, not only unheard, but ridiculed. It’s like they are trying to say they know more about our mind than we even do. While it’s our mind! It’s insulting. And frustrating. And that’s when we "attack". Because we felt "attacked". On the contrary, you are acknowledging our feelings while expressing your own. That is 100% fine! I also acknowledge your feelings in this. It is evident that men must feel very terrible about this and in return about themselves. It’s very very frustrating that ALL men must suffer the repercussions of a label created by SOME horrible men. But as you said, safety comes first. And of course, that is why we must be careful no matter who the man is. Because we just don’t know. Is he a grapist? A violent person? A serial killer? Most likely not. But unfortunately the chances are too large to take the risk. And until we live in a world where that isn’t the case, unfortunately women will not feel safe. And unfortunately good men will have their feelings hurt by this. It’s terrible but it’s the reality we live in. I absolutely acknowledge your feelings towards this. I couldn’t imagine what it would feel like to have that constant prejudice over my shoulders. Please know that no woman will ever find that bad. It’s a normal and valid feeling. What is not ok, is when a man uses this feeling to justify a woman not needing to be vigilant about this. That is not what you’re doing. YOU UNDERSTAND. And that is beautiful and wonderful and I appreciate it so much. Your feelings are valid and so are ours. It’s important that we mutually acknowledge them ❤️

No way. I think that whether a woman says man or bear it’s valid. Because it’s their opinion. Any man who thinks they know better than womens own opinion are insecure and recognize themselves in bad behaviour and are trying to desperately convince women otherwise. I’m not insecure, I know I’m a good person and I know that there are so many horrible men out there. So whatever they think is valid. And if you don’t think that take a look in the mirror my bro
definitely a man, if a bear attacks me no one will try to blame it on my clothes or tell me it's ok because i wanted the bear to attack me, they won't tell me i'm lucky to be attacked by a bear either, they'll sympathise with me and actually believe me
@Camilleboissonneault how you gonna claim you don't want to start nothing than at the end assume I'm dangerous a serial killer for defending men from this stupid and dangerous narrative. That's yall problem. Yall keep using personal experiences and projecting that onto all men when statistically those are anomalies. Again. Walk passed a bear up close and see what happens compare to walking passed a man in the woods. Most likely the average man which is most are not serial killers. Most bears are hungry, scared of you and will attack you or SOMETIMES run but since they have your scent you're basically dinner for later. Most bears act like bears. You can't say that with men because all Most are different

@@user-qb4on2qm7z idk what world you're living in, but you should totally check out crime documentaries where women were blamed for what they went through.
@@snuzzlebumble I'm willing to bet if you were genuinely put in that situation you wouldn't pick the bear. You're in a forest and there's two paths, one with a man walking towards you and another with a a grizzly walking towards you. You'd chose the path with the man
Say you go to a party, theres a bowl of MnMs but half of them are poisoned, you don't know which ones are posioned and theres no way of telling. now do you reach you hand in the bowl and eat an MnM? Now, imagine the MnM is actually a man. Do you take the risk?

As a woman who has been beaten, raped, gaslight and psychologically tortured by men i cant choose the man. A bear isnt going to ruin my life like that, if im not provoking the bear hes likely going to ignore my presence while with a man i cannot make that sane assumption. Even if i dont provoke him he may be extremely likely to attack me anyway. Instead of blaming women maybe ask yourself why women are so afraid of men and do better!!
Your reasoning is sound. I don’t think I’ll “do better” because I personally haven’t done anything wrong. You’re choosing bear for personal reasons. If I were in your shoes, I too would choose the bear. I can’t say I’m strong enough to not be afraid if I experienced that. A heart rules by fear can’t be reasoned with.
The only thing that question really does if the person changed there answer is find out if someone is racist or if they don't want to be seen as racist.
As a woman, I will answer this. I will say bear. They are more straightforward, you know their intentions, and at the end of the day the situation can only end up one way. You cannot say the same for men. People underestimate just how calculated humans are.

As a man, I’d choose a bloodlusted horny coked up Mike Tyson before a bear. Sure, a man can commit acts far more horrific than anything a bear can do. But I can realistically run, hide, and defend myself from a man, since a man doesn’t run 40 mph, has a nose 7 times stronger than a bloodhound, weighs 600 ponds, and can causally throw its own body weight.

Worst case scenario, the bear eats you alive vs wishing the man would just kill you. Either way you’re fucked, best to choose the option where your chances are significantly better.
ive seen men get soooo triggered over this, reflexively upset by the theatrics of it and trying to defeat it argumentatively before even engaging with the hypothetical, the purpose of which is to confront the question: *why* would women prefer the bear? its not that theyre unable to ask themselves that question, they don't want to, they don't want to confront the way things are because things are fine (for them), so they must be fine for everyone. they don't want to think about if the normal appearing guys around them have bad intentions (something women are taught by parents and friends and their own experiences to fear the possibility of) and they especially don't want to question how their own behavior might come off to women. keep comparing 'swiping strength' or w/e cuz its the easier conversation.
Women don’t give a rat’s ass about any problem men face in society, so why would a man take the time of day to ask himself “why do women feel this way?” As if you would provide us the same luxury.
We also prefer robots over women, no hard feelings.
Hahaha, like you guys would do the same for the disparities men face.
No you are being intellectually dishonest. Being fearful of being attacked or abused by men? Valid. The average random man being more likely to assault than a wild bear. This is a lie. You cant use a lie to pedal truth
I just don't want to be boxed up and labeled hatefully. I get it as a woman that's happened to you, but I didn't do that. Sexism and racism are hate.
This debate seriously upsets me because of how much men are missing the point. I had faith most people would be caring and want to know why women would even consider the bear, because women should not have to be afraid of men. Instead I read many more comments that were very demeaning and antagonistic, insulting women; saying women are delusional, they’re radical feminists, they’re lying, they hate men, and so on.
It only VALIDATES why many women in response would say the bear. The lack of empathy, compassion, care, willingness to understand, and even just downright hate is insane. I see apathy and hate for women who are explaining their experiences, and saying why they’d rather encounter a random bear than a random man. There is so much malice that men are making memes about women dying to the hypothetical bear, and how they would not help the woman to prove their point. They’re making up self-righteous scenarios where a woman dies to prove their point. They’re literally the ones perpetuating hate toward the opposite sex, and giving women more reason to have distrust and fear.
It’s not women hating men, it’s women being afraid of men. That’s where the discussion should be. Why is this a problem? How do we approach it? How can we fix it? Then, from there, we make positive change. It’s important to note and take into consideration that it’s not even just women who’d rather choose the bear.. there are men saying they would also rather choose the bear for their own reasons.
I really wish people were smarter, kinder, and more understanding to each other so we could faster progress toward positive changes in society, and tensions wouldn’t be so unreasonably high.
I completely understand but I don’t think this the right way to go about telling men about us being afraid of them to help one side we shouldn’t have to degrade the other to being less trustworthy than wild animals I understand the point of this debate i just don’t think it’s a good way of going about it
@@LightningIgnis That’s totally understandable, and maybe it isn’t the right way to go about discussing this topic. However, I don’t believe it’s meant to degrade or say men are less than animals, it’s meant to express that the possibility of encountering bad men frighten some more than a wild animal. If we’re being honest, as ruthless as the wilderness is, people can be the most dangerous and cruel. People also aren’t as predictable as many animals, and animals don’t usually hold ulterior motives and malicious-intent. It’s not just women who answer the bear, but some men too. I’m also not so sure that if one rephrased the hypothetical or switched their approach to the issue that many of these people would not continue to have some sort of problem, or gaslight women into say their problems do not exist and are trivial. Some would listen, but I’m almost certain most who have a big issue would still be saying lots of similar things in response as they are doing now, or the issue would be ignored all together by said people. Some are genuinely ignorant and don’t know any better, but others are just offended and don’t care about the REAL issue, or would still find a way to dismiss the problem. It’s very hard to configure a way to put things into perspective for people like this.
Chief, this ain’t about empathy or compassion, it’s about risk assessment. The question of “why” tends to lead towards misandrist anecdotes or baseless assumptions unrelated to the quarry. The question reveals the person’s faith or lack thereof of their fellow man, and it’s appalling to see the results.
@@senrye8273 Well, it is about empathy and compassion to a degree. People are dismissing the point trying to be brought up by arguing about the semantics of the question, instead of realizing it’s giving insight into the perspective of lots of women. It also shows a lack of trust because there IS a lack of trust-honestly, between both sexes, sadly. I hate to see it. While some might come from a place of misandry, because there’s always going to be.. those.. people, many others talking aren’t being misandrists. They’re sharing their valid concerns, and some of it is even coming from other men considering their daughters, significant others, or sisters. Sometimes even themselves.
I’ve been writing a lot, it’s exhausting and I feel like I’m just repeating myself at this point. If you wanna hear more from me, I encourage you to read my third reply under the creator’s pinned comment.
Thanks for your thoughts, and I genuinely wish you a nice day.
I think many of us didn’t really need to ask women why they chose the bear, that’s the thing. Many of us men know already that we are the more violent sex, the sex with more psychopaths, etc. You don’t need to compare us unfavorably with a bear for us to get the point. Just forget about the bear.
I know this question is aimed at woman but I will give my honest answer.
as a man whos run into multiple bears (brown bears) while hiking, fishing or jogging. I will pick a bear for multiple reasons. (im not specifying woman or man just human in general)
1.bears are easier to read than a human. bears cant lie and stab you in the back or carry fire arms.
2.bear attacks are already pretty rare ive run into some grizzly bears multiple times. (most encounters go with the bear being in front of me in the trial or by my fishing spot. if its in front of me in the trial I will ready my bear spray and walk away backwards facing the bear most of the time the bear will walk off the trial and head into the forest where I will watch it make sure its gone and continue on my way. if its a fishing spot encounter Ill head back and come check in 2 hours to see if its gone if its not gone by the 2nd check Ill come fish another day.)
3. bears are still animals and most animals dont want problems with humans and will see you and walk away and continue with their day.
@@gbeach85 no need to insult me also yes people don't see bears alot but this doesn't mean bears don't see people Everytime they wonder around. They have some insane hearing and smelling capabilities. I'm sure for most cases bears have spotted me and done nothing before.
It depends on the man though. I'd be scared in both scenarios but if I'm stuck with a strange man I don't know and he has a knife, I'll go with the bear. At least the bear won't trick me or try to lure me in before it attacks me. Bears only attack if they're starving or if you provoke them.
Don’t get to choose or know, same goes for the man or bear. Man don’t know or care if you’re out there, bear don’t know or care either. You probably wouldn’t know either.
Honestly, if I really had the choice then neither. I want to come across absolutely nothing in the woods haha.
But...I've worked in the woods my entire life and had no issues with bears but have had plenty of bad experiences with people. This debate has nothing to do with men for me. 🤷
From my experience, wild animals do not have the capacity for deception and will not hide their intentions. It's also important to actually think of the scenario. In the remote woods it's not surprising to see a bear but when you see another person you're instantly on edge wondering why they are there. If they aren't working, camping, or hunting then I would swap out for the bear any day 😂.
The attempt at gaslighting I'm seeing also blows my mind...women being called crazy over choosing a bear and labelling all bears as dangerous and human-eaters which is incredibly ignorant to say and just isn't true. It also depends on where you live and the bear species there.
Overall, it's a simple question, which people tend to over exaggerate. Context is important. If more insight into the scenario was given or the question was changed to "angry bear or angry man" answers may change but that isn't the point of simple, philosophical questions is it? haha.
You can fight a man far more effectively than a bear. It's called a glock. Pick it up or just admit you're just shitting on dudes. There's no way on earth you will survive a charging hungry grizzley.
@@user-qb4on2qm7z or if you're prepared and understand how to protect yourself/escape your chances increase significantly.
Plus I'm from Eastern Canada where we have black bears, which are smaller and are not known as people eaters. The last attack that happened where I live happened decades ago. Certain bear species you only need to worry about their protective instincts to protect their babies and/or food supply. Not all bears want to eat you lol.
@@user-qb4on2qm7z plus if you actually read my response, which you obviously didn't, I'm not just shitting on men but all people.
Women who say these kind of things are always the ugly ones.Like no one will assault you even if they are drunk
And yet it has happened
I will take my chances with the bear....
I find myself down the RUclips rabbit hole again.
I get the responses and they are 100% justified. People are not reading between the lines but, I can feel a bit hurt and acknowledge the distrust women have towards men at the same time. I know myself so there is part of me that is sad that people will look at me with uncertainty and question my character but I can’t blame them. I’d rather someone be cautious and question things than them ever being put in a situation where it ends bad for them. So it’s a gut punch but I understand fully. Probably opening myself up to an attack but I stand by what I think.
Absolutely not. This warrants no attack, at all. All women want in this is to be heard. And you are hearing us.
The "attacks" usually stem from the fact that a man commented in a way that insinuated he knew what we thought more than we did or that what we thought was ridiculous or that it’s not all men so we should be fine. These are the kinds of responses that make us feel, not only unheard, but ridiculed. It’s like they are trying to say they know more about our mind than we even do. While it’s our mind! It’s insulting. And frustrating. And that’s when we "attack". Because we felt "attacked".
On the contrary, you are acknowledging our feelings while expressing your own. That is 100% fine! I also acknowledge your feelings in this. It is evident that men must feel very terrible about this and in return about themselves. It’s very very frustrating that ALL men must suffer the repercussions of a label created by SOME horrible men. But as you said, safety comes first. And of course, that is why we must be careful no matter who the man is. Because we just don’t know. Is he a grapist? A violent person? A serial killer? Most likely not. But unfortunately the chances are too large to take the risk. And until we live in a world where that isn’t the case, unfortunately women will not feel safe. And unfortunately good men will have their feelings hurt by this. It’s terrible but it’s the reality we live in.
I absolutely acknowledge your feelings towards this. I couldn’t imagine what it would feel like to have that constant prejudice over my shoulders. Please know that no woman will ever find that bad. It’s a normal and valid feeling. What is not ok, is when a man uses this feeling to justify a woman not needing to be vigilant about this. That is not what you’re doing. YOU UNDERSTAND. And that is beautiful and wonderful and I appreciate it so much.
Your feelings are valid and so are ours.
It’s important that we mutually acknowledge them ❤️
Nah bro, this is 100% ok. You’re being mature about it.
Bear. For sure.
Viewing all men as rapists is extremely sexiest and damaging to the mental health of men have never done anything wrong. Look up the definition of misandrist.
@@0smartask0 it’s not “all men” it’s “all women” which means 97% of women get sexually harassed or assaulted in their life. It’s not all men it’s all men COULD be a danger. The worst thing a bear could do is kill me. Look up the junko Frutua case
Id rather be in the woods with a man because they all arent bad, like a bear would most definitely kill me if it saw me 😭
I don’t think it would definitely kill you, it’s depends 😅 but that’s fair! :)
A bear.

A man.
As a guy, anyone girl saying bear, valid 🫡

No way. I think that whether a woman says man or bear it’s valid. Because it’s their opinion. Any man who thinks they know better than womens own opinion are insecure and recognize themselves in bad behaviour and are trying to desperately convince women otherwise. I’m not insecure, I know I’m a good person and I know that there are so many horrible men out there. So whatever they think is valid. And if you don’t think that take a look in the mirror my bro
Honestly I know I might get harassed by people in the comments but…… I pick the man
It’s ok if you pick that! All women have their own reasons and personal experiences :)
Thx :) 🩷
Man for sure
I get that 😅
Same
definitely a man, if a bear attacks me no one will try to blame it on my clothes or tell me it's ok because i wanted the bear to attack me, they won't tell me i'm lucky to be attacked by a bear either, they'll sympathise with me and actually believe me
@Camilleboissonneault how you gonna claim you don't want to start nothing than at the end assume I'm dangerous a serial killer for defending men from this stupid and dangerous narrative. That's yall problem. Yall keep using personal experiences and projecting that onto all men when statistically those are anomalies. Again. Walk passed a bear up close and see what happens compare to walking passed a man in the woods. Most likely the average man which is most are not serial killers. Most bears are hungry, scared of you and will attack you or SOMETIMES run but since they have your scent you're basically dinner for later. Most bears act like bears. You can't say that with men because all Most are different

@@LuxBro-um2fu two women a week get murdered here, by a man. it's incredibly likely.
That's crazy because I have never in my life met a person whose been raped and then gets told they deserved it. It has never happened. Maybe in Pakistan.
@@user-qb4on2qm7z idk what world you're living in, but you should totally check out crime documentaries where women were blamed for what they went through.
All the men who get butthurt over the "Man vs Bear" are just being emotional. They must be on their periods or something.
Ikr. So bear or an African American male?
@@lumpy1space2princess still bear
@@snuzzlebumble I'm willing to bet if you were genuinely put in that situation you wouldn't pick the bear.
You're in a forest and there's two paths, one with a man walking towards you and another with a a grizzly walking towards you. You'd chose the path with the man
@@snuzzlebumble what’s wrong with African American men?
@@SpannerzIsHappy still bear
Say you go to a party, theres a bowl of MnMs but half of them are poisoned, you don't know which ones are posioned and theres no way of telling. now do you reach you hand in the bowl and eat an MnM? Now, imagine the MnM is actually a man. Do you take the risk?
Great analogy! Love this
Bad analogy, half of men aren’t going to assault a random person in the woods. 🙄
@@senrye8273 That was my analogy tho? That half of men are good and half are bad?
This logic can be used against any group. You support sexism and racism?
@@SlLENCE This is about a hypothetical situation including a man and a bear, I'm not being fucking racist or sexist.

@@Camilleboissonneault the psycho that brutally past tensed two women, but still has thousands upon thousands of fawning women. He has a hate tattoo right on his face, and women are still shooting their shot. 🤣😂🤣
I think i get it. Women will pick the bear *unless* they know for sure the "pretty bad boy" dude is going to brutally *%&$ and &%$#*+@ them.
Type in his name, (the person not the deadpool character) and see what type of dude girls will pick over the bear.
See what he did to two women, and how women online responded 🤣😂🤣😂
A bear because there are ways to make them go away without fighting it or being attacked
A man, because they’ll go away without a fight or attacking.
bears are hot❤
As a woman who has been beaten, raped, gaslight and psychologically tortured by men i cant choose the man. A bear isnt going to ruin my life like that, if im not provoking the bear hes likely going to ignore my presence while with a man i cannot make that sane assumption. Even if i dont provoke him he may be extremely likely to attack me anyway. Instead of blaming women maybe ask yourself why women are so afraid of men and do better!!
im so sorry, I hope ur doing okay.
I'm sorry to hear all that and hope you recover from all that. But seriously, a bear would just straight up do the same thing in 2 minutes.
Your reasoning is sound. I don’t think I’ll “do better” because I personally haven’t done anything wrong. You’re choosing bear for personal reasons. If I were in your shoes, I too would choose the bear. I can’t say I’m strong enough to not be afraid if I experienced that. A heart rules by fear can’t be reasoned with.
As a alien from mars i think that teddybears are cute
That’s great! Glad you like them, I also think they’re cute :D
Next question:black man or bear?,
Oooohhhh so now youre choosing the man huh?
The only thing that question really does if the person changed there answer is find out if someone is racist or if they don't want to be seen as racist.
Unless it's a black woman answering
In the question before you dont know the race so it could just be a black dude
It could be your fucking brother, cousin or anyone you know and trust, but that’s not the point. A lot of people miss the point.
As a woman, I will answer this. I will say bear. They are more straightforward, you know their intentions, and at the end of the day the situation can only end up one way. You cannot say the same for men. People underestimate just how calculated humans are.
Not a single person believes you’d actually choose the bear.
@@gbeach85 They would actually, you just don’t.💀Don’t get mad, understand why so many women chose bear.😂This is just a hypothetical anyways.
@@Burn143 Ah, the classic, “they calmly disagreed with me, I have nothing, so I’m going to pretend that they’re mad” argument. 7th graders on Reddit will find that deep.
You say that behind the comfort of your keyboard, but not one person in here believes you’d choose to get mauled to death. And honestly, if you do, you’re doing society a favor, my friend. Darwinism at its finest. Use your brain please.
As a man, I’d choose a bloodlusted horny coked up Mike Tyson before a bear. Sure, a man can commit acts far more horrific than anything a bear can do. But I can realistically run, hide, and defend myself from a man, since a man doesn’t run 40 mph, has a nose 7 times stronger than a bloodhound, weighs 600 ponds, and can causally throw its own body weight. I get it’s supposed to be a thought experiment thing, but bears are crazy man.
@@Burn143 You wouldn't. You say you would to fit your narrative. Saying these things behind a screen is one thing, but actually doing it is another

Whether it's choosing a virtual gf or a bear over a real man/woman, anyone with a functional brain knows that both are stupid.
