Let's say i choose being in the woods with a bear over a woman. Does that make me sexist? I personally dont see it. Im not setting a different standard for men or women. Maybe I'm just gay, or afraid of women. I dont see how it's sexist if i say, im more afraid of x than y. Therefore, i choose y. Maybe, I have more bad experiences with x, leaving y. Sexism would be to set different standards for the sexes where this question isn't setting different standards for men and women. It's pointing out that the already existent standards for men and women and how different they are.

Maybe you're just dense? It seems pretty damn obvious if you can read between the lines. It seems to me that you don't like that you dont understand, so you're blaming it on everyone else. Dont blame others that you aren't picking up what others are putting down
I'm a dude, and it's pretty straightforward if you can put yourself in the shoes of someone who has had a terrible thing done to them. They don't want to be even near a situation like that again. The point isnt the bear. You could replace that with anything. It could be a humpback whale, a lion, or a capybara. The animal isn't the point its the inherent unfairness of women that have to live their life in fear of men. Due to a past experience or even just caution.

Emotions are inherently irrational. Deal with it.
Trauma is inherently irrational.
You're cherry-picking the part of the paragraph that you think makes the other argument seem absurd.
If anyone here's the irrational one, it's you.

Wow, cryophilia that might be the most dishonest argument I've seen. It certainly is the worst one i can think of. Read a whole post before responding, Oh intelligent and rational one.

Contributing to a conversation doesn't make someone a snowflake. I can talk about rape and never have been raped. By your logic, you're also a snowflake. Besides, labeling someone with a word with negative connotation isn't a productive way to have a conversation. Its just insulting them. You can still have a conversation with ad homonyms. I personally haven't seen it going anywhere, though.

That is a rejected insurance claim waiting to happen.
I mean, imagine coming home to find out it had a hole and leaked all over the place while you were out.
