This seems to be comparing percent of women who've been attacked by a bear to the percent of women who've been attacked by a man, which... I mean, I guess? But a more fair statistic would be comparing the percentage of bear encounters that result in an attack to the percentage of man encounters that result in an attack. This is also comparing fatal bear attacks to non-fatal man attacks. Not to mention, their conclusion that a woman is safer in a forest with 260 bears than with one man assumes that the man is with them, and the bears just exist somewhere in the forest and may never see nor even be aware of them.

I agree with the conclusion that a woman has a greater chance of being victimized by a man than by a bear, but this whole argument just feels like it's designed to not stand up to critical analysis with the intent of labeling whoever tries to call it into question a misogynist, though, and I'm not going to get into all of that again.

That was an interesting read but it's not the math per encounter. They strangely used lifetime stats and ignored number of encounters so it doesn't answer that question.

Some of the other commenters who point out flaws in the math seem to get their comments deleted or downvoted so that doesn't help. It's a controversial topic which makes it really hard to just crunch numbers without being accused of picking a side or trying to skew the results.

Coming up with the stat that 10% of men will commit a rape in their lifetimes is wild though, and super sad if true.
