This argument is so dumb. Women are assuming the random man will rape them just because (what?) and men are assuming the women would rather get mauled to death by a bear (likely) then what I think they're thinking is that they can befriend it or something? It is mildly insulting when someone says to your face "I'd rather be mauled to death than spend a second alone with you". I've never come across this situation in real life however so I think this is a nonsense internet argument intended to drum up division and distract us from making guillotines.
You are misunderstanding what women are implying with this meme. It is about probability not pre-determined outcomes. Women are more fearful of the man because they believe there is more chance of being harmed by a random man than a random bear. This neither implies every man will threaten her nor every bear will maul her.
Just entertaining this is true, you DO realize how horrible it is to hear "I think you're more dangerous than a random bear just for existing"? And this isn't supposed to give men lasting mental health issues and extreme social anxiety?
Awwww are your fee fees hurt
Dude you sound so sad. Yes, dudes suck towards women, a lot. Accept it. It's not a reflection on you personally. But, your reaction is telling (all about ME and MY feelings)
I couldn't give two shits what some random abusive stranger thinks of me online.
It's not like a single instance of abuse by a random would make people care, it's systematic abuse that does that.
This is more of a general comment though.
