Well of course, being that the other side of it is equating "meeting a man" to "being raped or murdered by a man."
In reality, 99.99% of the time in both cases absolutely nothing will happen, but that doesn't stir up fear and anger so it's less fun to acknowledge that.
You know how many bears I've seen in the woods in all my days out there? 4. Know how many men I've seen? Me neither, lost count somewhere in the hundreds (ok I never counted because it's such a common and trivial thing). In all those times, the bears kept eating from the dumpster and the men politely nod and keep walking. Ironically the bears eating from dumpsters are the more likely ones to kill people, and strangers are the least likely people to kill people (usually someone you already know), but still, nothing happened.
I am sure bear will attack more times and succed in killing than man will try to rape and succeed
I mean, I don't even need to google the statistics to tell you how outright stupid of a claim you have made here. Go and google for yourself, the stats on bear attacks vs human attacks.
Like even if you just think about it for longer than 6 seconds you have to realize that obviously what you said cannot be even close to true and that you have to be a fucking idiot to think otherwise.
Not talking about black bears as in pic there is always a brown one
