Been seeing this crap pop up in my feeds last few days. Not sure what it is about. I am sure it has something to do with mental illness or something stupid.

As to whether this is a learned behavior, owing to actual or perceived risk of crime, I look at Europe.  Women will be set up in 2-4 person rooms with unknown men for the night; showing no outward signs of awkwardness about it, I can only assume it to be commonplace.  And not something limited to sleeping cabins on trains.  I don't have any directly analogous situation where the women could just choose to set up a tent in an avalanche zone to avoid the situation, but they could have gone back and requested a different room, or bunk room.  It's not enough observation to really be able to say, but it would be odd to think learned behaviors, or social/societal expectations don't play some role.


So your 2nd paragraph would suggest a cultural influence that is different between America and Europe, or did I misunderstand?
Could be.

Then again, these are the same Europeans who look at concealed carry in the US rather oddly.

Which means nothing in the context of the actual question here.  No, I do not want a random man in a bathroom with my daughter (or any other female for that matter).  But if I had to choose, I'd send her into a room with a random man 100% of the time before I'd put her in a room with a wild bear.

Also the same Europe that has a well publicized rape problem due to an influx of people that don't share common thoughts on the role of women in society.  They sure kicked the shit out of the patriarchy though didn't they?  Woo!

The men are by far more dangerous than the bears.

I totally agree. I couldn't find any consensus, one way or the other, on multiple organizations' sites. They also word their statistics suspiciously as they can be read multiple ways.

The closest I could get was that a mass, mass majority of America is law-abiding and it's an almost insignificant number committing crime.

No it doesn't.  The people that will murder you in the woods are the same people that will murder you downtown.   You feel safer downtown, likely because there are more men around, cops, etc..and they reduce the likelihood of an attack by their presence.

I personally know a woman who lives in an extremely affluent and low-crime area. She got an IUD after abortion was un-legalized in my state, not because she's having sex with a BF (hasn't in years, apparently) but in case she got raped.

This isn't something I ask about of course, but she can't wait to bring it up in otherwise polite conversation. What can you say to someone like that?

She'd choose grizzly bear, I'm sure

It simply breaks down to the odds.  Odds are very favorable that a man from a random sampling of men is going to be harmless, friendly and helpful.

Odds are 100% that a bear will be a powerful, deadly, wild animal that has zero societal or moral pressure preventing it from killing you if it feels threatened or hungry, and it cant be spoken to, bargained with or reasoned with.

How about this question.  Would you rather be in the woods with 100 men or 100 bears?  Think about that for a minute and if you honestly choose 100 bears, that pretty much negates any credibility your opinions might have had going back to the beginning, because it shows you are incapable of using logic to make decisions.

This is nothing but low IQ, I hate men, BS.

Yea, I dealt with sexual assault too.  I knew how to fight back and run like hell.  Ain’t no damn way I could out fight and run from a damn bear.

Never had a single problem with random hikers we've encountered and I'm 60, so that's a lot of miles.

This is nothing but low IQ, I hate men, BS.

Yea, I dealt with sexual assault too.  I knew how to fight back and run like hell.  Ain't no damn way I could out fight and run from a damn bear.

Let those idiots choose the bear and clean up the gene pool.  Those twats are just mindless sheep doing the cool thing.
I never want to be on a trail with them.

Odds are 100% that a bear will be a powerful, deadly, wild animal that has zero societal or moral pressure preventing it from killing you if it feels threatened or hungry, and it cant be spoken to, bargained with or reasoned with.

How about this question.  Would you rather be in the woods with 100 men or 100 bears?  Think about that for a minute and if you honestly choose 100 bears, that pretty much negates any credibility your opinions might have had going back to the beginning, because it shows you are incapable of using logic to make decisions.

which civilization are you referring to?  The one made up of roughly 50% men or the one in your head that the rest of us just don't understand?

I'll take the bear.

Y'all seem to be under the impression that the random guy in the woods is some harmless, flannel wearing lumberjack with impeccable manners and a savior complex. Or a dad of 3 on a family vacation with his toddler in tow. It's very possible he isn't. And the thin veneer of polite society breaks down when civilization is far away.
No it doesn't.  The people that will murder you in the woods are the same people that will murder you downtown.   You feel safer downtown, likely because there are more men around, cops, etc..and they reduce the likelihood of an attack by their presence.  

Ironic isn't it?

And seriously. Move. WTF kinda woods you hanging out in?

Who says i feel safer downtown? I really don't.

I'm much safer in the woods.

The thin veneer of polite society is only that. A thin veneer. A veneer covers things up. It doesn’t make them go away.

I am safer in the woods. I moved to the woods to get away from society. I don’t have to deal with gang violence, BLM, Antifa, or even Karen neighbors. I literally chose the bears.
