love how this post is turning this fascinating thought experiment (which a lot of people don't seem to understand very well)

and turning it into correlation, not even causation of correlation, this is literally just taking two random things and smashing them together lmao.

there are so many variables to how this can be interpreted that make this a very difficult to comprehend statement.

I'm a woman (a trans one if that matters to you) and have experienced sexual assault and domestic violence from both men and women.

I know the point that people are trying to make with the whole bear thing.

But I think the friction comes from women talk about this as a theoretical to make a point, where men are thinking more literally.

And I do belive that no one in there right mind, if actually given this option in real life, would pick a bear (unless maybe it was definitely one of the more harmless species).

Each and every one of us, even those of us that have survived SA, have had countless uneventful interactions with men you don't know. Even when it's just one on one. And its mostly normal biases that makes us remember the shitty ones more. And something a lot of people forget is that the vast majority of SA victims already know their assailant, so the idea of a rando assaulting you is even less likely. So yes I would much rather be in the woods with a man, than a wild fucking animal. And if you're a reasonable person, then you would too.

it makes me happy that this is near the top of this thread, but this comment is also only 15 minutes old, so i'm not sure how far down the pipeline of this post, it'll track.

I see OP noticed how much traction and drama this post stirred up last week so they decided to try it for themselves.

Incels are so butthurt about this one. Grow up

Well, obviously surviving is a bigger deal than one feeling...but, in some cases, having a feeling can lead to surviving something or succumbing to something.

You spelled it wrong, the sign should say "Safety is more important than feelings"

Women are announcing that they much rather spend their time in the company of men from the homosexual "bear" subculture. Apparently because they are better at camping than supposed "normal" men.
