anyone who even for a moment considers 'bear' is just showing they have absolutely no real experience in any sort of wild situation. Never choose an encounter with a bear, it is a predator and the apex predator of wherever you are to boot, its a ridiculous exercise meant to rile people up.

with this same argument id 100% take a dinosaur over any woman, because hell, she might knife me when I least expect it, but the allosaurus has a clear motive.

Anyone who is afraid of bears has absolutely no experience in the wild. It might do you some good to actually get that experience in the wild. A hike is much better for your brain than writing a post about how outraged you are that someone "made a ridiculous exercise meant to rile people up"

Being afraid is not the same as being aware of the dangers, I never once said anything about fear.

you definitely are... how did it go?

writing a post about how outraged you are that someone “made a ridiculous exercise meant to rile people up”

maybe you need a hike.

The fact that you don’t understand why women think the bear is safer is exactly why we’re picking it.

Let me spell it out for you - the bear will either kill me and eat me or leave me alone.

The man may try to rape me. And leave me alive with the suffering that results from that rape. And there’s a chance he may impregnate me and in many states in this country, I will not be able to abort it and will have to give birth to it, which is another assault on my body.

I would rather just be eaten. At least in that case the pain ends.

Heres a fun fact for you, Bears are known to eat their prey alive, so no. he wont kill you and eat you, it will be the other way around. so you will live the rest of your very, very short life being eaten alive by an apex predator.

It will still eventually end.
And the fact that you don’t understand this shows me you’re one of those people i never want to meet alone in the woods.

i mean, if the baseline here is death, we should be including suicide. Nothing stops you from just killing yourself if you consider the end game to be death. Not that it's any better. But it's probably a lot less worse than it previously was.
