inb4_FoundTheVeganEither ya understand why most women pick the đ» or you are the đ».
HossenfefferAlmost 100% of women I know have personal experience of being sexually assaulted or harassed by a man.
0% of women I know have personal experience of being attacked by a bear.
Itâs not hard to understand why women are choosing the bear.
CryophiliaIf women saw as many strange bears every day as they see strange men, there would be a lot more maulings than sexual assaults.
Yeah, itâs not hard to understand: apparently, a large number of women are fuckin stupid.
There are places that have a lot of bears dumbass, most bears are black bears and black bears leave you the fuck alone. And if it decides to fuck you up for whatever reason you donât have to worry bout it raping you too.
If the question was specifically black bears, it would be closer to making sense. But still ridiculous.
The ridiculousness of it you take as women being sexist. If you had half a fucking brain you would realize that the point of the purposefully ridiculous thought experiment is to show that women fear men in a way that you and I, as men, do not see in our own lives. Me and you living life in a prairie with no predators in sight.
Women live in bear country.
Yeah thatâs great and all so maybe just say something reasonable instead of a hyperbolic statement to show whatever. I canât just say âall women are bitchesâ but then clarify that what I meant was just to illustrate blah blah
If the point of you saying something sexist was to make a non-sexist point, you have completely and utterly failed.
Just donât say sexist things.
lady_mariaFor the most part, women arenât saying that all men are dangerous.
Weâre saying that a significant percentage of them areâas established by the fact that the majority of women have experienced sexual harassment and/or assault at least onceâand that âbadâ men and âgoodâ men are often indistinguishable from each other⊠for the first few minutes, hours, days, months, or even years of knowing them.
And then there are the many men who may not actively harass or assault women, but look away and remain silent when they witness their friends doing it. Those men are unsafe, too.
Anyone who perceives this hypothetical situation as âsexistâ is not bothering to actually listen to what women are saying, which tracks. Hit dogs holler.
Just donât say sexist things. I shouldnât have to parse some hidden meaning out from your sexism. Donât say sexist things.
Letâs say i choose being in the woods with a bear over a woman. Does that make me sexist? I personally dont see it. Im not setting a different standard for men or women. Maybe Iâm just gay, or afraid of women. I dont see how itâs sexist if i say, im more afraid of x than y. Therefore, i choose y. Maybe, I have more bad experiences with x, leaving y. Sexism would be to set different standards for the sexes where this question isnât setting different standards for men and women. Itâs pointing out that the already existent standards for men and women and how different they are.
Does that make me sexist?
Yes.
Or particularly stupid about wild animals and how dangerous they are.
I suppose itâs possible that you think bears are just cute cuddly creatures that would never harm anyone, so obviously youâd prefer to be with a bear.
In fact I suspect thatâs behind a lot of pro-Bear answers, at least partially. Sure, some sexism, but also a giant heap of regular old âwhat is the capital of Africaâ style stupidity.
