A women wrote an article about how women are afraid of the possibility of male strangers attacking them, comparing it being stuck in the woods with the bear.

And, as is tradition, instead of actually reading the article a bunch people took it to mean that she would literally rather be attacked by a bear rather than a man.

I've seen bunch of women explaining how they'd feel less threatened with a bear. So I don't think anyone read it, everyone just ran with the premise.
