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.

I've never taken offense to it. 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. Then again, these are the same Europeans who look at concealed carry in the US rather oddly. |

Originally Posted By Naamah: Not 75% of the total men I’ve encountered, but 75% of the men in the woods, yep.

He was considered armed and dangerous and was in the area for 4 days before they caught him. The men are by far more dangerous than the bears. View Quote How many of said 'men' attacked you? If that number is zero, then those 'men' are equal to the bear, no better, no worse. You're defending an assumption with 2 more assumptions. Herd mentality at work....... |

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. |

I immediately thought that it was a reference to author Marion Engle’s “Bear”. It’s about a woman who has a sexual relationship with a bear…

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. |

When I’m out hiking with friends or family, we always go over bear safety, bear spray, etc. because we know how a bear can fuck you up. 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. |
