I have no dog in the fight. I'm merely a spectator commenting on what I see.

So you can draw whatever conclusions you wish about the side that I'm picking in this debate and you're going to be wrong.

Individual men were hurt by feeling classified as more dangerous to a random woman than a bear in the woods when their lived experiences place them well below that threat

It's quite obvious which side you've picked. You talk about men's lived experiences while complaining that women talking about their lived experiences "trampled over a lot of innocent men."

There's no point in debating this. If you're really just a spectator, then you wouldn't be actively arguing about it. But I don't have to play along with this. That's my choice...

Like I said. You're wrong.

I definitely understand how women would be afraid of encountering a random man in the forest. I also understand that the advantage of encountering a bear is that they would know to immediately run the fuck away. And I can understand how that scenario makes them feel.

Just because I can see the other side does not mean I endorse the other side. Broaden your mind

You and @[email protected] if you would please take this argument to DMs. This type of back and forth has gotten my posts removed multiple times in the past for no fault of mine and I don’t want that happening again. Thank you.

I literally don’t care about the bear thing at all but the truth remains that women telling storries about their SA were harrased into deleting their accounts. That behavior is never okay and it is not cherry picking to reference such things in discussion of the overall tone of the platform. End of discussion.

Don't worry. When I tell someone "Have a nice day.", that means I've blocked them and will no longer engage with them.

You've completely missed the point of picking the bear. It has nothing to do with the bear. Have a nice day.
