Bear Vrs Man debate on SM

[Jenesis]

I haven't seen any video. A link to interviews where the question is asked would be nice.

There are hundreds if not thousands of interviews, videos, Posts, tweets, reals, threads and Reddit posts about this. Sorry I didn’t start linking them all for you.

I wish there was this internet tool that within 3 seconds of typing keywords would produce sheets and sheets of searched internet pages that have your requested information on them. I think Google would be a good name, what do you think?

Guys there is nothing that says that the man or the bear are hostile. Doesn’t say they are not either or can’t be but doesn’t say they are.

I find it interesting some of you are questioning/upset/angry of why women automatically think men are hostile but are at the same type automatically assuming the bear is hostile.

That is not the question, or the scenario posted. It could be, just like the man could be hostile or the bear could be like most and just take off at a loud noise.

Nothing says that the man or bear are dangerous or that they are not. Just what would you prefer to encounter. You bring your own bias and experiences to the question.

Have a listen

Remember, not all bears are killers boys. LOL

chimps go for the face, bears go for the skull.

This is where the phrase, “Accuracy versus precision“ might apply

Fellow men: you've heard of bear vs man and its happening. What bear are you fighting in this new tournament?

That's what makes bears endlessly fascinating. They are both fearsome and goofy fucks at the same time...they can even flip you the bird.

So......All the women who answered for the bear, are they all being rounded up and dumped deep in the forest?

Here's a test... drop these women who picked the bears for a week in the forest....then see their reaction when they see a man...we'll find out who's lying or not...

Or drop a bear and a man (with a gun), in front of the woman and ask her:

Hey, just for clarity, lets make this hypothetical slightly more specific.

So, would you rather be in the woods with a black bear or a black man?

Shouldn't be different right?

Well…if a woman unexpectedly encounters a man in the woods he is probably out there for a reason: ie. hiking, camping, hunting, etc. Moreover, in this example, he has chosen to go out on his own and does not appear to be looking for company. He does not sound like a sexual predator stalking the community for a victim; he sounds more like a guy who would just like to be out on his own for awhile.

Also…most physical and sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim: date rape, domestic assault, etc. Attacks by the stereotypical creepy guy in the park attacking unsuspecting victims are statistically infrequent.

Anyway…

The bear, on the other hand, is probably not going to seek out a fight with a human unless it feels threatened or startled, or if it’s protecting its cubs. The chances of being attacked by a bear in Ontario are low but are known to occur and when they do they can be fatal.

How Rare Are Bear Attacks In Canada?

Ready to go camping? You hear about them on the news and survival shows, how rare are bear attacks in Canada and how do you avoid them in the wilderness?

From the article above:
“Bear attacks are a serious concern in Canada, with the majority of incidents occurring in Western Canada. The Canadian Rockies, in particular, are a high-risk area for bear attacks due to the large population of both grizzly and black bears. Ontario also experiences bear attacks, with an average of 10 incidents per year reported to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.”


I think the chances of being attacked by a bear are probably higher than running into a serial killer out in the woods (unless he is out there burying a body of a recent victim…but that doesn’t seem very likely either).

So…I guess I agree with the other guys who view the bear as the bigger threat but the fact that many women have a different point of view doesn’t bother or upset me. I don’t take it personally; I don’t go out in the woods that much anyway….plus…as Rob Ford once said:

So you must have seen it by now.

Question posed is - if alone in the woods, would you rather encounter a bear or a man?

Most women, women everywhere are saying the bear. Many men are upset about this.

Thoughts?

If your wife/daughters/sister/mother as alone in the woods, would you rather encounter a bear or man?

Now for context, we don’t know anything about the man or bear. This is just you are alone and you see “blank”. Which “blank” would you rather encounter.

The whole thing is just social media poison designed to turn women against men and men against women.
Anyone with an ounce of sense is going to say they'd rather encounter the man than the bear. The reason this debate is a thing isn't because it makes sense, but because it's another hyperbolic way to say "man bad".

For the man that wanted a link

This is a really solid response from someone who knows what they’re talking about. And before anyone RUNS to say “not all men” - we KNOW it isn’t all men. We are well aware. What we also know is that it is too many. What we know is that a random man in a random place puts us on guard. We’re the ones who walk through the world armed with various self defense devices. Do you? Until you know what that’s like, perhaps try listening to people who do. Until you’re inside of a 1 in 3 statistic, listen to someone who is. Because if you, and you really hear them, you’d have empathy for why we’re team #bear #thebear #manorbear #manbear #bearorman | Jessica Stacy | strongtherapyjess · Originele audio

I don't give a fuck about these surveys. A man with a gun doesn't necessarily mean he's capable of killing the bear...more than likely he'll get his brain eaten if he shoots the bear.

Bears are such goofy fucks. That doesn't mean they are not to be obeyed - the cashier knows his role.

Shaq and Chuck are bear men, Shaq is a Kodiak. Chuck is a Grizzly/Panda.

Some people get wildly bent out of shape over these things.

Ya, I see that on Reddit. Supposedly most women choose the bear over the man. Ignoring the man-bears out there, it sounds like most men are getting their panties in a twist over it. It's social media, please.

Watching this go viral has been depressing.
But yeah, par for the course on social media.

This is the part I think a lot of guys seemed unable to process.

Every bear is hostile because it is a wild animal. Wild animals should always be considered dangerous.
