Nothing is wrong with them, but I get not wanting to gamble with thos odds.
Especially when, according to the national park service, "when bear encounters do happen, they are most often nonviolent". So if you had to gamble...
Are you saying that theres >42% chance a bear will be on your side in the wilderness then?
That makes no sense. By all arguments taking "a man" is prolly the far better choice anyways, people are just stupid.
There's a 100% chance that "the bear" is a fucking bear
Theres at least a decent chance "a random man" is an asset to survival and your odds of success go up instead of down...
There's no scenario where choosing "the bear" improves your odds of success >_>;
You're changing the hypothetical into something it's not. "Odds of success" are a weird thing to think about when it's just a walk in the woods.
The scenario is you are lost in the woods and you either have to choose between a wild bear, or a random man.
Many types of bears won't run away, they will actively attack you. Some will run, but many will simply tear you limb from limb just cuz.
I haven't seen a version that says lost in the woods, just alone. Either way though, you can see it as saying they'd take a chance of being mauled over a chance of being raped.
And how would you react to if a TERF posted the same thing but changed it to a trans woman instead of a man?
Still a woman posting about her fear of being raped.
But now you maybe see how fucking awful ot sounds, right? How it makes you sound super bigoted, perhaps?
