The point is ABSOLUTELY the fucking bear. We KNOW you should be cautious around random men. That's an obvious goddamn statement. The fact that you'd pick a bear is what's sexist and insulting.
Have you ever even SEEN a wild bear?
I've never been shot in the head but I wouldn't pick that over a strange person.
If there had been no hypothetical bear in the question, no men would be getting angry. "I feel wary around strange men" is an obvious statement.
And then when men get angry specifically because of the bear, all you smug fucks ignore the bear and pretend we're saying it's wrong to be wary around strangers at all.
And the point of the statement isn’t that bears are literally less dangerous than men. It’s to show how
Nah fuck that. If I say "all women are bitches" but what I really mean is that some women have an unfounded sense of entitlement, that's still a completely unacceptable thing to say.
No. Fuck that. The X is the important part of that statement. I get just as pissed about "all men are trash" or "kill all men". It's hyperbole, and it's completely unacceptable language.
Your explanation was that women are so traumatized and fearful that they can't help but say hyperbolic things that they don't actually mean. To make a point, or something.
I don't see how those two sentences are any different. Your explanation was that "I'd rather be in the woods with a bear than a man" actually means whatever. Well the statement wasn't that whatever. That whatever might or might not be insulting and hurtful. "I'd rather be in the woods with a bear than a man" is insulting and hurtful, so don't fucking say that. Say whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean, instead.
Fuck you. Why do the dumbest motherfuckers to drag their knuckles across this earth always think they're the smart ones?
How many bear encounters are there vs how many male encounters?
If you saw as many bears in your day to day as you did men, you'd be fucking terrified of bears.
I can't tell what's worse, women who pick the bear because they're sexist assholes, or women who pick the bear because they are literally, literally too stupid to live.
First of all, that's just black bears, the most cowardly of bears.
Second, it's too damn hot in Georgia for a bear to maul someone.
Thirdly, if you encountered as many strange bears daily as you did strange men, you'd be eaten by now.
Have you ever been shot in the head? Probably not. Well, since you don't have experience with it, you're not afraid of it, right? So better a bullet to the head than a strange man in the woods. Bullet has never harmed me.
All the responses siding with the bear so far have been either sexist or stupid. I'm gonna put you with stupid.
I mean, that's totally understandable. I completely get that. But there's a much higher chance of a bear mauling you than a guy doing anything bad, surely you understand that, right?
That's just facts. Look at the responses. "I've never been attacked by a bear" yeah and you've never fallen off a 40 story building, would you jump rather than take your chances with a stranger?
All the responses I'm seeing so far are either misandrist or stupid. "I've never been mauled by a bear" is stupid. "All men are potential rapists" is misandry.
That's not whataboutism. Women being mean to men is the misandry part. It's back to my initial premise. It's a reaction to patriarchy, sure, but it's still misandry and still unacceptable.
I'm not getting dragged into a pedantic semantics argument. If you think "okay, I agree that all X are horrible, but not me, I'm one of the good ones" works on a mob, be it on your head.
Yeah that's great and all so maybe just say something reasonable instead of a hyperbolic statement to show whatever. I can't just say "all women are bitches" but then clarify that what I meant was just to illustrate blah blah
If the point of you saying something sexist was to make a non-sexist point, you have completely and utterly failed.
Just say you're scared of men. That's still unreasonable and a little insulting, but understandable. Don't rank us below a wild bear. The bear is what makes men angry.
The issue is many women are going "obviously it's hyperbole", "obviously it's an analogy", so maybe don't say shit like that? It's insulting.
And then you get some other (mentally ill imo) women saying, no, I would literally rather be mauled by a bear than have to exist around a male stranger.
