Mean world syndrome has reacted a fever pitch. - Lemmy.World

“Men as a rule are such scum, I’d rather spend the night with a wild animal that routinely kills and eats people given the choice!” -These women

“Why cant I find a good man?!” -Also these women

As a happily married man, I would want nothing to do with a woman that has such overt hatred towards my gender. If my wife started playing the “as a rule, men are subhuman scum more dangerous to me than wild carnivorous animals” game, I would eventually divorce her, regardless of whether she considered me to be one of the good ones.

This is good from an ecological perspective though, if you aren’t on team human at least. Women hating men means less humans, which would be better for most life on earth, including bears.

“as a rule, men are subhuman scum more dangerous to me than wild carnivorous animals”

Lol. No one said that. But the fact that you hear that when women say they feel threatened is very telling of who you are as a person. I hope your wife finds freedom eventually.

Literally the premise of the question, random man or random bear, who do you feel safer, the opposite of in danger, with?

Even if 99% of men were not abusers, the 1% that are also tend to hide their malice and pretend to be decent until alone and the woman is vulnerable. So as women interact with hundreds or thousands of men over their lifetimes they will come across these abusers or know someone who was abused and that the system blames victims and the fear is not just about percentage chance of a horrible outcome, but that society continues the abuse.

A bear is a known factor, dangerous but never in a deceptive way and society doesn’t tend to blame victims of animal attacks.

Also the percentage of abusers is way higher than 1%. Everyone knows multiple rape and abuse victims, but few people know someone who was mauled by a bear. That is the context for this question.

That’s just a numbers game, we also have way more interactions with bears, you would have to do a whole breakdown of time/incidents for bears and humans both

The point is not the literal number of incidents or ratio, because personal experience impacts that for most people.

Someone who has been in a plane crash don’t care how infrequent they are, the personal experience influences how they estimate the risks.

Oh, you meant personal experience.

Yeah, 100%

I completely misread you somehow.
