I love this trend, because anybody who provides a serious answer whatsoever has already fallen for its trap. It's such an absolutely absurd scenario that's just specific enough to be divisive, and just vague enough that you can fill in the gaps with any preconceived notions of your own. It's impossible to provide any answer in which you can't be made to look like a clown, because every answer comes with baked-in counter arguments to it. Any answer you provide makes you look either heartless or clueless.
It almost makes me appreciate rage-bait as an art form.
EDIT: Some of you seem to have made some assumptions on my stance, and fail to realize the irony in doing so. The fact that anybody felt the need to have a multi-comment argument against this comment only proves my point, which is that it's 100% rage-bait, and you guys keep falling for it.
Or, you know, just listen to women.. Revolutionary, I know, and seemingly impossible to some, but that's literally all you need to do to not be "trapped" (magically managing to claim victimhood where there is none, as per usual), instead of outing yourself, just like OP suggests.. Β―\(γ)/Β―
I thought the victim was the bear, he doesnβt 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.
No
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?
