I understand why women pick the bear, but I also understand why men are insulted. It’s not that hard to empathetic is it? Maybe I’m wrong.

I also understand why men are insulted.

It is literally the rage they express when rejected that is WHY we would be more scared to run in to one in the woods than we would a bear.

The fact that they're getting "insulted" at all, derailing the entire conversation and making it about them and how they are really the victims, is more proof that they don't give a shit about the actual experiences of violence and abuse that we are subjected to by them, only about their own egos.

Literally all they have to do is fucking listen, they are not the ones being harmed in any way shape or form (the reputation of men is already in the shit and it won't improve unless they work to improve it amongst themselves, but if anything, their reactions are only making it worse), and them being able to frame and prioritise themselves as the ones being being harmed (by ignoring or minimising the legitimate fears and traumatic experiences of millions of women) is just another of many demonstrations of just how privileged they are.

I’d rather be stuck with a bear than with a woman that thinks like you.
