The people pointing out the women killed by bears vs men stats a few months ago need to understand this as well lol

Like I am fine if you want to meme or dunk on men but once you bring bad stats into it that’s when I get serious.

The first time I saw the man or bear question, I assumed it was a setup for victim blaming. Neither choice is going to be a win for the woman.

Based on experiences, she doesn't trust men so she picks bear? How dare she judge all men. So illogical!

Or she picks man? Then she should be prepared for an inevitable assault because eventually the man in the woods will be one of the bad ones and she should have known. She should have been more careful or just stayed home!

The whole thing was never a maths question. It was a rage bait question to rile up men who hate women and to give women an unwinnable binary choice. The only "winning" answer is to decline to play this stupid game.

no, it was a question to illustrate how women feel about safety around men. the rage came from male fragility. the refusal to understand a simple premise doesn't make the "game" stupid.
