LEXI understand why women pick the bear, but I also understand why men are insulted. Itâs not that hard to empathetic is it? Maybe Iâm wrong.
Even as a dude Iâd rather pick the bear over any human. Bears are somewhat predictable humans not so much
Also they can hit me up with some coke
The thing is, they're not. Even those self proclaimed bear experts who say this eventually get mauled to death by them. Bears are wild animals, they're inherently a dangerous predator. A random guy could be a predator, but even then he'd be less dangerous than a bear. The chance that he IS a predator however, are much lower. People who chose the bear are simply delusional and just help rage baiters with the social divide.
1.2 deaths by black bears a year in the US. 400,000 black bears. So 3.0x10^-6 chance of being murdered by a bear adjusted per capita.
26,000 homicides a year (2021, I think itâs slightly lower now but these were the first I saw whatever) for 330M puts you at 7.9x10^-5 chance of being murdered by a human adjusted per capita.
Sorry, bears win. Plus seeing a bear is cool as hell and seeing another human while hiking is annoying at best.
A lot of homicides happen within an inner circle of family & friends. You're not that close around bears to the point where they are a threat to you.
Also, the US is a terrible example for homicide statistics since it is already such an outlier. But I'm sure you know all those facts already and just try to push an agenda here.

Nah man if I wanted to push an agenda I wouldâve adjusted the homicide rates to men instead of just humans. Lol. My only agenda is that bears are objectively cooler than humans and you should probably get over it.
I'm certainly not letting extremistic femcels forbid me to speak out against sexism.
Me, a male who enjoys animals, the femcel.
Iâm just telling you bears are fucking cool and youâre not gonna fucking die if you look at one. People literally take this so seriously itâs hilarious. Chill out. Maybe donât be offended by people not being afraid of bears because itâs pretty fucking unlikely you know anyone who has been harmed by one, also theyâre cute, also seeing wild animals is part of hiking and very exciting. You donât need to be the center of every humans attention at all times. Youâll be okay.

You⊠really think I donât know anyone who has been harmed by men? Like⊠do⊠you really?
Like I get the hahaha copy paste and change word but that only works if it works⊠and that doesnât?
Alright. You don't know anyone harmed by a bear. Fair enough. Then put your money where your mouth is. Give us an estimate of how many personal interactions with men said person who got harmed had in her life, then go out and have the same amount of up close and personal contact with wild bears. I'm sure they don't care about the testers gender so your friend won't have to be put in harms way and surely won't miss you as a potential rapist anyway. Once you reach that same number we can compare the good, the bad, the ugly. That way we truly know who's the more dangerous predator.
I mean sure if you wanna pay for my years of research chillin with bears Iâll do it. Should only take like 3 years.
Why would I have to pay to prove your absurd logic? Would I have to pay for your funeral too?
Youâre the one who desperately needs exact perfect research in order to believe whatever you want even though it literally doesnât matter because fear cares about perceived experience and not reality. So if you want it so bad you can pay me to research it for you. Iâm not the one having a hard time understanding why women would choose to encounter a bear over a man. I donât need someone to research that for me.
Youâre the one who desperately needs exact perfect research in order to believe whatever you want...
I guess you'd also argue that the world is flat, covid was a hoax, 5G is deadly, and immigrants are replacing white people - all because of your feefees.
... even though it literally doesnât matter because fear cares about perceived experience and not reality.
Yes, thank you for finally agreeing with me that it is irrational and that you shouldn't accuse an entire gender of being dangerous sexual predators on something like that.
So please stop supporting make believe, because what you're doing is literally socially destructive if you haven't guessed by now with how much this rage bait alone is dividing people.
Iâm genuinely curious on what the math works out to, but I think youâd need to account for time spent around each, or a âper encounterâ statistic or something.
Otherwise there could be a scenario where the bear encounter is 100% deadly for example, but if most bears are never encountered itâd make them seem safer.
Of course, this scenario is specifically an encounter in the woods, so itâd need to be something like: total encounters between women and bears in the woods vs total encounters with women and men in the woods, and then factor in non-deadly encounters, other forms of assault, etc. That probably has next to no useful data though so good luckâŠ
I mean, yeah I A: have no real fucks to give about this argument. B: Bears are cooler than humans men can get over it. C: used the stats I could get from a quick google, not gonna do an entire scientific study just to tell men to get fucked, as funny as it would be.
You also need to adjust for amount of time spent in bear territory or bear encounters vs attacks to get a more accurate statistic.
But I donât have to. Itâs about perception. Fear is not based in reality. It doesnât matter what is actually true but what is perceived to be true. People see people being murdered 30x more often by people than by bears per capita. Ignoring per capita, and itâs 23,000x more than bears. It makes plenty of sense to fear humans more than bears based on that alone. Fear is not going to go âoh but actually statistically speaking in order to be afraid I really should do a scientific study to see who in a âalone in the woods at nightâ scenario is more likely to kill me before I am afraid!â Itâs gonna go with the fact that you see and experience humans killing other humans a LOT more than you experience bears killing humans. Also, Iâve conveniently ignored plenty of stats other than literal homicide you have to worry about from men.
Also, again, none of this matters what does is that bears are objectively cooler than humans, the end.
I mostly agree, but youâre still trying to inaccurate statistics to justify fear
Hm I wonder if any right wing political parties have ever done this to dehumanize outgroups and promote fascism? đ€
I wonder if anyone who is Muslim, Black, or Jewish has any thoughts on this history of such dehumanization and inaccurate perceptions đ€
