... But no one is being thrown into the woods with a random stranger or a bear. Like the original question this is a hypothetical meant to prove a point. The original point seems to be "the average man is dangerous" , this is meant to show that point can be prejudiced/sexist. It's meant to show that the argument that some people are saying they're afraid of a group therefore we must validate that fear can lead to some bad places and shouldn't be used. This argument is at the core of what the comment I replied to.
