memes

I'm a woman (a trans one if that matters to you) and have experienced sexual assault and domestic violence from both men and women.

I know the point that people are trying to make with the whole bear thing.

But I think the friction comes from women talk about this as a theoretical to make a point, where men are thinking more literally.

And I do belive that no one in there right mind, if actually given this option in real life, would pick a bear (unless maybe it was definitely one of the more harmless species).

Each and every one of us, even those of us that have survived SA, have had countless uneventful interactions with men you don't know. Even when it's just one on one. And its mostly normal biases that makes us remember the shitty ones more. And something a lot of people forget is that the vast majority of SA victims already know their assailant, so the idea of a rando assaulting you is even less likely. So yes I would much rather be in the woods with a man, than a wild fucking animal. And if you're a reasonable person, then you would too.

I'm out of the loop on the bear situation, what happened?

Yes, this is the correct take.

The bear meme is meant to make men uncomfortable and surprised by how they are seen as a generalization among women. It isn't meant to be anti-men or anything, it's just meant to show the lived experience of women to men in a hypothetical absurdity.

Not sure what else this meme is doing other than actively creating a bigger divide between the genders...

When people justify racism with statistics: That's stupid and you're a bigot

When people justify sexism with statistics: Only one side's feelings matter! I'm going to post this divisive meme everywhere!1!

Edit Sexists know how to downvote, but not present a logical argument.

You spelled it wrong, the sign should say "Safety is more important than feelings"
