man or bear

"would you prefer to be stuck in the woods alone with a random man or a bear?"
have you all heard this dumb popular question now asked to women?

i will ask it regardless, with the purpose to make fun of your answer if you actually would pick a bear haha

seriously though, this question is now asked to try and pretend like most men would harm a women if both are alone and the bear would be the more harmless option. Thats where we are now with this sexist nonsense towards men.

I can’t outrun a bear. In fact, that’s the worst thing to do, and I probably could not outrun a man (unless he was so out of shape), but I’d have a better chance with the man, if he was a bad man.

@Carissimi true but see the question did not even imply it was a bad man, its a random man. People automatically assume the male would be out to hurt the woman.
Thats the sexist part

@Torsten I did write “if” he was a bad man. A woman can’t be so docile, and trusting that some random man is automatically a decent man. That would be so foolish.

@Carissimi sure but its odd that would be anyones first thought when coming across someone based on their sex alone would be danger.

@Torsten You would think this because you are not a woman. Based on my own life experience, without even throwing the dangers of modern day, (which add to it), my first thoughts when I see a man is “is he safe?” As in is he safe to be near me. It’s unfortunate, but unless you are actually a woman, and have experienced the threatening behavior (and suffered assualt from seemingly ordinary men), then you can’t know.

@Carissimi i have suffered sexual assault as a child and i dont assume every male is out to harm me due to it and i suffered a lot worse from a few women and guess what? i dont think every woman is out to harm me due to it or when i see a woman, i dont automatically think danger.
This whole "unless you are a woman" cop out, aint really working.

If you look at any man and automatically think danger, well thats on you, but i will just tell you now. Most men are not out to get you

@Torsten Look. You don’t get it. Let’s leave it there.

@Carissimi im just not really understanding where you're coming from. I know women say that all the time with things like this, but no one can really explain it and it have logic to it.
