is the man or bear thing rhetorically or optically the perfect feminist meme that is beyond criticism? no.

but is it leaps and bounds better at getting men to understand the material consequences of patriarchy on the physical and emotional health of women than that stupid “kill all men” meme from last decade? definitely.

"very often" is hyperbole, but if you've never had/heard of that discussion I would be surprised. But I don't think "men are misunderstanding the question" is a crazy take.

"who would win in a fight" and "who would you feel more threatened by" are by no means two "random" subjects, they are very closely related in theme and in most situations the answers would be interchangeable. And the conflation of the two closely related topics of conversation was my entire point.

the only context I've ever discussed this is a horse sized chicken or 50 chicken sized horses.

the hilarious thing is, it's not about you, unless you're the kind of guy who makes women fear for their safety.
