Bear discourse is full of men uninterested in what women say or why they say it.

I thought the victim was the bear, he doesn’t want some random ass woman bothering him shitting in the forest.

If you treat every person you meet as a predator, eventually you will only be left with those who are. The rest will just leave you to your own business and only the predators will pursue, yes?

Like, so incredibly no

Women don't treat every man they meet as a predator, they treat every man as possibly a predator, which we are. You aren't the target of sexism if a woman in the same bar as you keeps a lid on her drink.

Just curious, no to what? I am not challenging the idea of the thought experiment or the visceral fear that some people have toward a man vs a wild animal, just seems odd to me downplay one side and increase the risk of the other. In this thought experiment where we are using a meek bear, does it change if we use a polar bear. Does it change using a mountain lion or lion? A leapord? A rabid dog?
