I personally don't like it because the analogy makes the generalization that ALL men are evil and planning to cause harm. That's incorrect, and vilifies me. I didn't do anything to be vilified. I didn't throw any stones, so wtf...
Generally speaking, I abhor these types of fictitious analogies. I understand that women have apprehension of men in general. I know why that is. This whole bear thing is just mean to every man though. I don't appreciate it.
I really don't want to give a rhetoric lesson in a comment, but not everything people say is a 100% absolute that is about you specifically. It's a commentary on the fact that many women do not feel safe around a random man because of their lived experiences. If you don't understand why that is, you have the entire internet at your disposal.
Look, you claimed you didn't understand something. I attempted to provide feedback that would provide insight. It's pretty clear your claim that you didn't understand wasn't sincere; just more wanting to shit on people that feel bad about having been shit on already. I didn't ask for you to provide anything at all; you probably shouldn't have. You seem like a terrible human being.
