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 >_>;
Google the word hyperbole, you fucking moron. Nobody can be this dumb.
It's a stupid hyperbole that just says "I've never actually seen a bear up close"
It makes women sound stupid and naive, any woman who has actually encountered a bear up close will go "fuck no, a bear will fuck you up"
Bears will literally tear your limbs off just cuz, with little effort. You are nothing more than a ragdoll to them. They have thousands of pounds on you, and they can run twice as fast as you.
No person who actually knows wtf a bear us like would ever choose the bear.
The hyperbole instead just sends a message of "women are stupid" which shouldn't be true, I would hope the average woman is smart enough to know that while being alone with a man is risky, a fucking bear is still way way worse.
No. But this your comment makes you sound stupid.
On top of being stupid, you obviously still don't understand what hyperbole is.
No, I know what it is. Hyperbole when taken too far is just a fancy way to dress up sexism/racism.
The litmus test here is so easy.
Replace "man" with "black man" and repeat the phrase, tell me if it's still something you'd say out loud amongst friends or not.
Suddenly doesn't sound so paletteble does it? Maybe sounds kinda racist?
Literally anytime you wanna try and argue if a phrase maybe is problematic, and you wanna try and argue that because the subject is "men" makes it lt count, just change it to "black men" and double check it didn't suddenly become super fuckin racist sounding.
If it did, it always was sexist.
Either you are one of the best trolls I ever met, or you forgot to take your pills. Don't bother to reply to this, you are on my block list now.
