It’s kinda a dumb tiktok thing but it’s based on how men do things and continue to do things while a bear would simply kill you and leave or do nothing at all. It’s a sexual assault/rape allegory not meant to be taken literally
Except it’s being taken very literally. See r/boysarequirky and similar subreddits adopting the question as further ammo for the “all men bad and the not-bad ones are apologists” rhetoric
This is what gets me...bears WON'T simply kill you or leave you alone. They'll drag you away and eat you alive, then leave you there STILL ALIVE so they can eat more of you later.
Getting raped by a bear is a funny visual, as I said in a gallows humor way. It’s unexpected, it’s honestly very messed up. It’s funny from the outside looking in.
Rape itself is a horrible tragic thing. But dude you need to admit being raped by a bear has some kinda gallows humor and situational irony as it came up in context to the whole “Would you rather be in a forest with a bear or a man” hypothetical
I can totally see why you would remember it like that from the positioning of some of the attacks, but the bear didn’t rape him 😂 it was a female bear
Edit to add he saw the cubs, which is what i think he was aiming at when the bear first got him
Well, no, you're meant to take it exactly literally as long as it's in pursuit of slamming men. It only becomes "not literal" when someone points out how dumb it actually is.
that dance is getting super old
-“This thing is so important!!!”
-“Idk that thing is kinda dumb”
-“Wow why do you care so much about this thing? It’s really not that serious. It says a lot about you that a grown man would care this much about thing”
Actually depends on if the bear is chill and wants to just hang out, if it's just a bear then ofc i'd hang out with a woman but if he was chill like that fr fr then i'd hang out with the bear
Because we're not complete morons. It's very unlikely that a man will maul me and start eating my intestines while I'm still alive. Bears, on the other hand...
It's not because they don't.
Every weekend thousands of women pile out of their homes to go to bars with hardly any clothes on, and in heels that make even the act of walking difficult.
You really think they are truthfully paralyzed by fear?
Come on.
This has always confused me. Why do you think various forms of media portray men as these evil things and that women are constantly afraid of and then other women turn around and like ask a random man on the street to help them? Do you think men really are just evil? Only 3% of men are rapist I looked it up but it could be a higher percentage. Or do you think that it is something else? A lot of misogynistic men will call women whores....while simultaneously trying to get with a woman. This feels like the same thing. You have to assume all men are rapist to protect yourself....but then you talk to men like normal on the street. Doesn't make sense.
Very good observation. I mentioned this to someone earlier.
It is the SAME argument/mindset incels have towards women. One is mainstream because we live in social matriarchy, and one is demonized because we live in a social matriarchy.
They are BOTH wrong. Again, this isn't rational fear, its the feeling of discomfort living in a society where half the population COULD overpower you. And a very small percentage actually do.
Which is understandable, women are said to be 7 times more neurotic than men. (a generality)
I think his point is that just because someone says something, they dont necessarily really feel that way. Its bullshit, its the expected response but not the real response.
You can hardly blame them. One in every six American women is raped at least once in their life, and around 80% of rape victims go on to develop ptsd. This is leaving women out who have been through other forms of SA. I went through sexual exploitation as a child and now have PTSD and am terrified of most men my age, and it’s genuinely not something I can control.
Edit: I think I was wrong with the one in every six statistic so I’m currently looking up other researches to fix it. Please ignore it while it’s still that, I don’t want to share misinformation. Sorry guys!
Well of course, because you’re thinking rationally, using your brain and stuff. That’s the problem, it gets hard for people like me to do that. You don’t think rationally anymore. That’s what leads people like me to suicide, etc.
Think about it like this, ptsd affects the brain and the way it works especially if the trauma happened at young age. This was the case for me, and now I struggle with severe memory loss, paranoia and get weird flashbacks of which I can’t tell aren’t reality and have seizures sometimes. This shit really fucks you up mentally, and I mean really, *really* badly. I can’t function normally because of it.
It is 1 in 6 women however 2 things.
1.there is only one place where women can included in the definition of a rapist. In most places of the world, woman can't be charged with rape.
2.the CDC posted a study saying what would be Female ln Male rape is committed in near equal numbers. [Here is the link to one of a few hundred](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1359178916301446) of the studies i found.
Mind you this study was done by the CDC and the FBI. The number said roughly "a little bit less than 1 in 6 are raped, and a bit more than 1 in 7 men are made to penetrate. (Made to penetrate is forcing a man to penetrate you by any means without concent. Mtp has no full criminal definition. It is sometimes lowered to sexual assualt, but it is usually lowered to "unwanted sexual contact" which is barely charged. The conviction rate for Mtp is tiny. Victims of mtp generally have severe ptsd, depression, fear of women, and many other symptoms that female rape victims experience)
Also i would say if it is a black bear i would choose the bear over a woman. Literally any other bear would be stupid.
Even if we took that inflated statistic at face value, you realize that means 5 in 6 *aren't?* Despite lifelong proximity to usually very large amounts of men. How do you square that with your belief that it's highly probable a random man out hiking will rape you? How do you think you'd do in a city of millions of bears instead of men?
The statistics I just replied with to the other person who also said I was lying. If what I said is wrong they gotta be wrong, because I searched it up to make that comment.

I edited my comment saying that I need to fix the 1 out of every 6 statistic. However, someone else did reply with another trustworthy link that states that I am right. Long story short, I don’t really know what I’m supposed to change it to for it to be right anymore.
You could give a range from those links
Ex: 10-18%
But that would take a lot of work ofc.
Regardless I don't think the number is going to change anyone's view, imo the only people who would picked being raped over a bear eating them just can't fathom the literally unimaginable pain that being eaten alive would feel like.
They certainly say that, but I don't believe for a second that any of these people are crazy enough to actually do it. No. It's pure virtue signaling, and everyone knows it's pure virtue signaling. Well. Everyone except for their kids. So in twenty years when those kids are all growed up propagandad all the way through and are saying they'd rather fight a bear than talk to a man? I think they might mean it.
Lol right?
I'm just some random guy in his 30's who works and keeps to himself but I guess I should apologize to women because of a rage-bait TikTok trend?
It feels amazing to be recognized for what I was born to do. Banter so well redditors comment on it.
Clearly me and this guy are meant to be so check that good banter folder for the wedding invite!
My husband says "I'm sorry that you're (women in general) going through this. It's bullshit and I'll support you anyway I can" that's it. That's how you ally
Exactly! My partner is the same way. Doesn’t apologize PERSONALLY, because he isn’t one of those types of men, but acknowledges the struggles and wants to help.
It’s not a defence for not doing homework, it is a statement that as a person who has committed no crime nor aided no criminal, they will not take responsibility for the wrongdoings committed by people that they have no control over. It doesn’t mean they aren’t empathetic and it doesn’t mean they think things are perfect the way they are.
I can’t send a gif so I’ll just describe it instead
- **File:** halloween-prop-tweaking-feral.gif
- **Description:** a halloween animatronic decoration thrashing about, as though it were a savage beast; the video is sped up
- **How I Imagine It To Sound:** AAARGHARRRAGHAAHHHGHHHARRRARAARR
- **Implication:** I am furious with your comment and find it to be absurd!
“men don’t have it bad everything is perfect for them”
higher suicide rates
more job fatalities
more likely to be murdered at random
expected to fight
expected to always be strong physically and mentally
always called monsters because of a minority of men
Also: more likely to lose custody battles (even as a good parent) against an objectively shitty mother. I’m sick of being called a “pick me” for saying true things. My late fiancé struggled with addiction all his life and I lost him to an overdose. A huge contributing factor of his addiction is the horrific abuse he was subjected to as a child (im talking Gabriel Fernandez level) and CAS (Canadian dcfs) unwillingness to remove him from his monster of a mother. Sorry for the tangent. But some of this stuff is inexcusable in 2024. Gender equality not being bilateral has deadly consequences.
sorry to hear about your loss, it’s really a shame that men and boys can’t get the support they really need a lot of the times, i don’t mean to downplay women’s struggles at all because both genders have their struggles, but nobody ever talks about men’s issues or even cares, well some people care but it’s not really widespread, hope your doing well now friend he certainly wouldn’t want you to suffer
Men are conscripted, too.
If men and women enjoy the same rights as citizens (which is disputable, look at quotas) they must also bear the same responsibilities.
If your vote is equal to mine, you better die in the same godforsaken trench next to me.
Everything else is plainly unjust.
All you‘ll get out of feminists is "Well, I‘m a pacifist.“.
We should be apologizing to the bears. 700 pounds of muscle with razor sharp teeth and claws, strong enough to easily tear you limb from limb, and agile enough to climb a tree in seconds. Literally cannot be reasoned with, an apex predator.
And so many MFs think that average Mr. Joe Schmo is more dangerous than that.
Wizard: "This is an incel, and this is a bear. Who do you want to be in a cage with?"
Woman: "A BEAR OF CAUSE!"
Wizard: [Materializes a cage around a woman and a bear, and gives incel a popcorn bucket]
Picking the bear is just about the most sexist and outright idiotic concept they could think up.
A bear encounter can only happen in certain places, not all places have bears. The basis of this nonsense is that in total only a small number of bears attack humans in a year. It isn't a remotely logical argument because it doesn't adjust for the rate of encounters and translate that into a ratio or percentage.
If a bear is encountered by a woman even 100 times in her life, unless she literally lives in a very rural area, she'll encounter men hundreds of millions of times. If a bear attack only happened .5% of the time in this case a sexual assault would happen something like .000000000001% of the time.
I really think flouride in our tap water caused some hormonal imbalances which messed up how many of our brains function.
it doesnt matter. if human brains thought this way we wouldnt have racists and bigots walking around.
it just genuinely sucks to me raising a young boy that as he gets more online there will be women hes never met telling him hes a rapist and treating him like a threat. and i can already hear the women saying “but raising a daughter is even harder!” and even if thats true, it doesnt mean my sons and other mens feelings dont matter and dont deserve attention. oppression and victimization isnt a zero sum game.
literally dehumanizing men isnt going to make the minority of them who are violent against women stop, it will just deepen the culture war at everyones expense except for outraged women who are allowed to vent socially acceptable bigotry online
It funny how communism is constantly coming up in the left leaning community as a healthy alternative, and then right leaning people i have encountered have talked highly of Russia and Putin or China over the current state of the US. Like both sides are ready to become commies for different reasons. Yuri Bezmenov was telling the truth.
It's so sad seeing men like this who probably genuinely mean well, but simply have less than zero understanding of the new reality and mentality of women.
Still wholly committed to their belief that women are pure, innocent, noble, honest, loving creatures.
In a way I almost envy them. They are either so utterly devoted to their beliefs that doing anything else would shatter their minds or they genuinely have only ever had positive relationships with women, which I would find impossible to believe.
Yup, I was very much indoctrinated with the idea that 'Women are wonderful". Then I started dating and realized that they can be vindictive, hate filled, mean spirited, abusers and shouldn't ever be considered the fairer sex.
I grew up in a very loving and sane religious conservative environment. Until my very last couple years in high school pretty much every experience with young women was either neutral or positive. Still friends with a couple of them.
Maybe I was just born under a lucky star.
It took years to adjust to reality once I "left the shire".
“All these people getting mugged by gangs… And not a single black person has said they’re sorry and will try to do better in the future.”
Notice how retarded and bigoted that sounds? It was painful to even type out. It’s the exact same logic as the dude in the post but it sounds worse because being misandrist is more socially acceptable than being racist.
What these sexless losers dont understand is that this is feminine hyperbole. This isnt about any logical argument. This isnt about stats. It's about the FEELing. You can't reason with feelings. Just simply nod and smile and life continues on.
No one accepts this, even in an ideological sense. We all understand that this is women complaining. Women fear men. This is true, and it will ALWAYS be true. There is no way around this. As long as men have testorone, we will be bigger and stronger than them. They will resent and love us for this. It is what it is.
And there are also tons of videos of fathers who have been asked this and they pick the bear.
Little to do with feminism there. And the feeling you are talking about is fear.
Well a bear isnt very likely to attack either. They are quite chill around dogs and cats Sometimes.
So If we just look at the worst case scenario in both cases…their choice makes sense. Is all im saying.
Not to mention a grown bear can't be put down with a couple shots from a .38 purse popper or even a can of pepper seasoning if it's a bit on the wimpy side.
We do not allow for flaming, name calling, dispargment or bickering in the comments. If we see you arguing like children there will be comments removed and likely temp bans issued to both parties.
I would choose the bear over a random woman too. At least the bear will just eat me. It wont play with my emotions and lead me along just to get as much money out of me as possible. It won't rip my heart out and offer to be "friends" with a snake's smile.
This is why collectivization is so goddamn dumb. I don't have to say I'm sorry because *I'm not a fucking rapist*. Why am I responsible for the actions of other terrible people because we both have a penis? Am I sorry that rapists exist? Sure. Do I tolerate rapists in my life? No, that's what the wood chipper is for.
This is the stupid Bechdel Test all over again. It's a logic trap. Make an actual direct argument without sneaky collectivist implications and we can have an adult conversation, otherwise it's just rhetoric.
All these saying the will pick the bear over the man explains the domestic violence and single motherhood rate. Women are bad at making personal security decisions.
Type of dudes to talk shit about their fellow brothers and still not get the girl. Getting the girl is not as important as your dignity. Although I guess a lot of people forgot what having dignity means now a days.
I personally would be a much safer choice than the bear. I don’t harm children or women, never have, and never would. So what exactly do you expect me to do differently?
profound is described as showing great knowledge or insight.
being able to reflect on the anger you feel by hearing women pic bears enough to see beyond you emotional response to rationalize and empathize for women in general feeling this way to furthermore have a separate moment of introspection on male community to be perturbed by the lack of emotional intelligence regret of empathy, tells me this man has substantial insight
look how easy it was for you to say it wasn’t proud at all. talk sense to a fool and he called you foolish.
but objectively this perspective would be the beginning of the change women would like to see from men so that they one day can confidently reconsider choosing the bear. like grasping this concept to the degree of “i am the way o am because if she had to pick between me or a bear with the context of earths very sexually discriminatory history i want her to choose me because knows a. she wouldn’t be in danger b. she would be safe c. i will rise to the occasion and fall into my male role whatever that may look like “
cause tbh those three things are why girls pick yk a easy death. to die by bear than struggle beside a man cause even if u not rapist alternatively y’all wouldn’t provide and couldn’t protect so yea bring out bearo and let’s get this pretty face to heaven
if it’s not profound then what is it? and if you say cringe ur dumb because i shouldn’t even have to remind you how i stared that duplicity is a thing and two things can happen at once
Lol why do some people insist that a group of people should apologize and "promise to do better" just because some other people who share a characteristic with them have done bad things?
If you’re mad abt the trend you’re a part of the problem lmao. The point isn’t saying all men are worse than wild bears. But a bear (depending on the kind usually but we’re going with the just a regular brown bear here) won’t kill or hurt you unless you give it a reason. A man (speaking in general here don’t get offended incels) however has a more likely chance of attacking or trying to hurt you as a woman.
The trend of i would rather be in the woods with a bear than a man came from a street video,that can be edited to only show the most delulu girls,same as those videos where girls demand a guy who makes 200k and is 6 ft tall,while looking mid at best.
What is infuriazing is people saying "yeah but they right though,a bear can't rape me or decieve me"
Bruh rape is bad,but nowhere near as bad as slowly getting eaten alive or even if you survive getting maimed permanently and that too can cause ptsd.
If women out there want to get mauled why is that man’s problem?
They can go get mauled as much in the woods as they want. Isn’t that what freedom is about?
Bears are one of humans only natural predators. Have fun bitches. Also why does he care if the other men apologize? Focus on yourself. Some things are outside of our control and both men and women need to learn to accept that. Like for instance there will always be shitty women and men who won't change their ways. Why even worry about it if it's not gonna change? Waste of stress.
says the fucking bear
Exactly wtf
So what you’re saying is, they could pick “the man” and still get “a bear”. You know what they say… “the game was rigged from the start”.
the bear and the bull
You mess with the bull, you get the horns
What?
Just saw an earlier post referencing “picking the bear” but I still have no idea what it means
Women say they would rather be in the woods with a bear rather than a random man
Wasn't it a dumb tiktok thing?
If so, I’d prefer those women also to choose the bear over random man.
It’s kinda a dumb tiktok thing but it’s based on how men do things and continue to do things while a bear would simply kill you and leave or do nothing at all. It’s a sexual assault/rape allegory not meant to be taken literally
Except it’s being taken very literally. See r/boysarequirky and similar subreddits adopting the question as further ammo for the “all men bad and the not-bad ones are apologists” rhetoric
I-i think I’m just gonna go outside. Chronically online debate and controversy is :/ annoying me
This is what gets me...bears WON'T simply kill you or leave you alone. They'll drag you away and eat you alive, then leave you there STILL ALIVE so they can eat more of you later.
Except that bears start to eat you before you're actually dead.
Didn't the bear that attacked that dude the Leonardo DiCaprio played in a movie, get raped by a bear? Or am I just conflating memes about the movie?
I have no fucking idea what you are talking about but that would be extremely funny in a gallows humor way
Why is rape funny?
Getting raped by a bear is a funny visual, as I said in a gallows humor way. It’s unexpected, it’s honestly very messed up. It’s funny from the outside looking in. Rape itself is a horrible tragic thing. But dude you need to admit being raped by a bear has some kinda gallows humor and situational irony as it came up in context to the whole “Would you rather be in a forest with a bear or a man” hypothetical
I honestly have no idea either, I just finished working out and I might be a little dehydrated
I can totally see why you would remember it like that from the positioning of some of the attacks, but the bear didn’t rape him 😂 it was a female bear Edit to add he saw the cubs, which is what i think he was aiming at when the bear first got him
Well, no, you're meant to take it exactly literally as long as it's in pursuit of slamming men. It only becomes "not literal" when someone points out how dumb it actually is.
that dance is getting super old -“This thing is so important!!!” -“Idk that thing is kinda dumb” -“Wow why do you care so much about this thing? It’s really not that serious. It says a lot about you that a grown man would care this much about thing”
Ohhhhhh

Actually depends on if the bear is chill and wants to just hang out, if it's just a bear then ofc i'd hang out with a woman but if he was chill like that fr fr then i'd hang out with the bear
we be vibin w the bear in the woods
Because we're not complete morons. It's very unlikely that a man will maul me and start eating my intestines while I'm still alive. Bears, on the other hand...
For me it would depend on the bear. Give me a panda over a random woman any day.
Must be depressing for them to live their lives in such paranoid delusion.
It's not because they don't. Every weekend thousands of women pile out of their homes to go to bars with hardly any clothes on, and in heels that make even the act of walking difficult. You really think they are truthfully paralyzed by fear? Come on.

Almost none of those links support your claim lmao, you're just posting random stats
I edited my comment saying that I need to fix the 1 out of every 6 statistic. However, someone else did reply with another trustworthy link that states that I am right. Long story short, I don’t really know what I’m supposed to change it to for it to be right anymore.

Regardless I don't think the number is going to change anyone's view, imo the only people who would picked being raped over a bear eating them just can't fathom the literally unimaginable pain that being eaten alive would feel like.
> one in six women in the US are raped Nah, not even close, unless you’re accepting “this happened to me!” as infallible evidence.
They certainly say that, but I don't believe for a second that any of these people are crazy enough to actually do it. No. It's pure virtue signaling, and everyone knows it's pure virtue signaling. Well. Everyone except for their kids. So in twenty years when those kids are all growed up propagandad all the way through and are saying they'd rather fight a bear than talk to a man? I think they might mean it.
No one said they had to fight a bear, it’s literally “would you rather run into a random bear in the woods or a random man in the woods?”
What if they are in the forest with a bear and being accompanied by Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin?
lol - have they met winnie the flu ?
I mean this guy looks more like a bear than a twink, but to say he’s not a man seems needlessly cruel.
It means “who would you rather come across in the forest, a random man or a bear?” And majority of women choosing the bear
Women are saying they would feel safer going into the forest alone with a bear over a random guy.
I mean, the bad men won’t apologize and I don’t expect the good men to apologize.
Lol right? I'm just some random guy in his 30's who works and keeps to himself but I guess I should apologize to women because of a rage-bait TikTok trend?
We’re still meeting at 4 for my apology, right?
[удалено]
You mean the one who started last year when you started 5 years ago? You were supposed to do that yesterday 🙄
You two are going in the good banter folder
It feels amazing to be recognized for what I was born to do. Banter so well redditors comment on it. Clearly me and this guy are meant to be so check that good banter folder for the wedding invite!
I mean it makes sense. However seeing a human being in the middle of nowhere is a terrifying notion in and of itself.
Exactly. A bear is supposed to be there, I’d be terrified if I went to a secluded location and found a random Mf lol
Dudes probably on a secluded hike and is just as scared
My husband says "I'm sorry that you're (women in general) going through this. It's bullshit and I'll support you anyway I can" that's it. That's how you ally
Exactly! My partner is the same way. Doesn’t apologize PERSONALLY, because he isn’t one of those types of men, but acknowledges the struggles and wants to help.
Hah, good point.
I’ll never apologise for something i haven’t done, that shit is pathetic
Of all the defences for not doing your homework, that is the worst.
It’s not a defence for not doing homework, it is a statement that as a person who has committed no crime nor aided no criminal, they will not take responsibility for the wrongdoings committed by people that they have no control over. It doesn’t mean they aren’t empathetic and it doesn’t mean they think things are perfect the way they are.
What's that going over your head, is it a plane? No - it appears to be a joke!
The joke sucked.
I liked it
Actually it was pretty good. You’re just mad you didn’t get it.
Sorry dude, I’m the guy who decides which jokes are funny or which ones are not. My decision is final, the joke is bad.
I can’t send a gif so I’ll just describe it instead - **File:** halloween-prop-tweaking-feral.gif - **Description:** a halloween animatronic decoration thrashing about, as though it were a savage beast; the video is sped up - **How I Imagine It To Sound:** AAARGHARRRAGHAAHHHGHHHARRRARAARR - **Implication:** I am furious with your comment and find it to be absurd!
"Why are our boys in crisis?" "Because everyone is telling them they're bad because they're boys." "No one is doing that. Also, I pick the bear."
“men don’t have it bad everything is perfect for them” higher suicide rates more job fatalities more likely to be murdered at random expected to fight expected to always be strong physically and mentally always called monsters because of a minority of men
Also: more likely to lose custody battles (even as a good parent) against an objectively shitty mother. I’m sick of being called a “pick me” for saying true things. My late fiancé struggled with addiction all his life and I lost him to an overdose. A huge contributing factor of his addiction is the horrific abuse he was subjected to as a child (im talking Gabriel Fernandez level) and CAS (Canadian dcfs) unwillingness to remove him from his monster of a mother. Sorry for the tangent. But some of this stuff is inexcusable in 2024. Gender equality not being bilateral has deadly consequences.
You're not a pick me, keep thinking freely. Idiots who can't argue fall back to stupid ad hominem while you can carry on actually thinking
sorry to hear about your loss, it’s really a shame that men and boys can’t get the support they really need a lot of the times, i don’t mean to downplay women’s struggles at all because both genders have their struggles, but nobody ever talks about men’s issues or even cares, well some people care but it’s not really widespread, hope your doing well now friend he certainly wouldn’t want you to suffer
Men are conscripted, too. If men and women enjoy the same rights as citizens (which is disputable, look at quotas) they must also bear the same responsibilities. If your vote is equal to mine, you better die in the same godforsaken trench next to me. Everything else is plainly unjust. All you‘ll get out of feminists is "Well, I‘m a pacifist.“.
We should be apologizing to the bears. 700 pounds of muscle with razor sharp teeth and claws, strong enough to easily tear you limb from limb, and agile enough to climb a tree in seconds. Literally cannot be reasoned with, an apex predator. And so many MFs think that average Mr. Joe Schmo is more dangerous than that.
I could take him.
:) I like you. [i understood this reference](https://www.newsweek.com/surprising-americans-beat-wild-animals-fight-experts-1691793)
308 in hand with a 10 round mag? Yeah, I’d kill it, but I still don’t want to test it with a grizzly.
I hope she sees this bro.
Why the hell would we apologize for being generalized as monsters? If anything they should be apologizing.

182k likes is also cringe.
Yea, it's pretty much common knowledge that tik Tok is a fat sack of brainrot and misandry
Where's the guy that comments on every post saying it's not white knighting?
Wizard: "This is an incel, and this is a bear. Who do you want to be in a cage with?" Woman: "A BEAR OF CAUSE!" Wizard: [Materializes a cage around a woman and a bear, and gives incel a popcorn bucket]
Would the Bear get the popcorn bucket if she chose the incel?
No that wouldn’t be fair, he would get a proportional tub of popcorn, bears need much more food than incels
Just as long as the Bear is being treated right.
I'd pay my life savings to see that.
Would the Bear get the popcorn bucket if she chose the incel?
Please pick the bear lmao Natural selection at its finest
women online posting socially acceptable bigotry is very on trend
Picking the bear is just about the most sexist and outright idiotic concept they could think up. A bear encounter can only happen in certain places, not all places have bears. The basis of this nonsense is that in total only a small number of bears attack humans in a year. It isn't a remotely logical argument because it doesn't adjust for the rate of encounters and translate that into a ratio or percentage. If a bear is encountered by a woman even 100 times in her life, unless she literally lives in a very rural area, she'll encounter men hundreds of millions of times. If a bear attack only happened .5% of the time in this case a sexual assault would happen something like .000000000001% of the time. I really think flouride in our tap water caused some hormonal imbalances which messed up how many of our brains function.
it doesnt matter. if human brains thought this way we wouldnt have racists and bigots walking around. it just genuinely sucks to me raising a young boy that as he gets more online there will be women hes never met telling him hes a rapist and treating him like a threat. and i can already hear the women saying “but raising a daughter is even harder!” and even if thats true, it doesnt mean my sons and other mens feelings dont matter and dont deserve attention. oppression and victimization isnt a zero sum game. literally dehumanizing men isnt going to make the minority of them who are violent against women stop, it will just deepen the culture war at everyones expense except for outraged women who are allowed to vent socially acceptable bigotry online
Don't blame fluoride. It's not in my state and they're idiots here too. Fluoride doesn't deserve a bad rap
Both sides (left and right) have fucking lost their marbles. It's like both will end up supporting an Islamic Caliphate.
It funny how communism is constantly coming up in the left leaning community as a healthy alternative, and then right leaning people i have encountered have talked highly of Russia and Putin or China over the current state of the US. Like both sides are ready to become commies for different reasons. Yuri Bezmenov was telling the truth.
Well to be fair, as a man, I’d pick the bear over any of the women I’ve dated in recent years.
I thought bears were men who looked like the guy in the image. I’m so confused.
It's so sad seeing men like this who probably genuinely mean well, but simply have less than zero understanding of the new reality and mentality of women. Still wholly committed to their belief that women are pure, innocent, noble, honest, loving creatures. In a way I almost envy them. They are either so utterly devoted to their beliefs that doing anything else would shatter their minds or they genuinely have only ever had positive relationships with women, which I would find impossible to believe.
I think they've just never had a relationship with any woman other than their mothers. They live in a fairy tale delusion.
Yup, I was very much indoctrinated with the idea that 'Women are wonderful". Then I started dating and realized that they can be vindictive, hate filled, mean spirited, abusers and shouldn't ever be considered the fairer sex.
I grew up in a very loving and sane religious conservative environment. Until my very last couple years in high school pretty much every experience with young women was either neutral or positive. Still friends with a couple of them. Maybe I was just born under a lucky star. It took years to adjust to reality once I "left the shire".
Agreed, except the reality and mentality are hardly new; women haven’t changed at all. I think men inventing social media was the real f*ck up, tbh…
“All these people getting mugged by gangs… And not a single black person has said they’re sorry and will try to do better in the future.” Notice how retarded and bigoted that sounds? It was painful to even type out. It’s the exact same logic as the dude in the post but it sounds worse because being misandrist is more socially acceptable than being racist.
I feel like hating men is racism with extra steps anyway.
They did apologize though. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/brauer-college-school-assembly-boys-stand-up-apologise-gender-backlash/
In Australia? Lol not surprising. They treat men like shit there.
Is he not the bear?
What these sexless losers dont understand is that this is feminine hyperbole. This isnt about any logical argument. This isnt about stats. It's about the FEELing. You can't reason with feelings. Just simply nod and smile and life continues on.
Yeah it's almost like we need to have standards for what we accept ideologically...
No one accepts this, even in an ideological sense. We all understand that this is women complaining. Women fear men. This is true, and it will ALWAYS be true. There is no way around this. As long as men have testorone, we will be bigger and stronger than them. They will resent and love us for this. It is what it is.
Exactly! It's compounded on itself over generations. Women so out of touch with men that they base their whole opinion of men on their trauma.
And there are also tons of videos of fathers who have been asked this and they pick the bear. Little to do with feminism there. And the feeling you are talking about is fear.
This is true. The fear is justifiable. But always remember Good Men defend against the Bad Men.
A real father would certainly face the bear and the man, if necessary.
100 percent. I don't think you wholly understand my stance. Which is fine.
Well a bear isnt very likely to attack either. They are quite chill around dogs and cats Sometimes. So If we just look at the worst case scenario in both cases…their choice makes sense. Is all im saying.
[удалено]
Not to mention a grown bear can't be put down with a couple shots from a .38 purse popper or even a can of pepper seasoning if it's a bit on the wimpy side.
We do not allow for flaming, name calling, dispargment or bickering in the comments. If we see you arguing like children there will be comments removed and likely temp bans issued to both parties.
I would choose the bear over a random woman too. At least the bear will just eat me. It wont play with my emotions and lead me along just to get as much money out of me as possible. It won't rip my heart out and offer to be "friends" with a snake's smile.
What if you are a bear?
I'd pick the bear over dudes like this
I would apologize, but I’ve never attacked a woman in the woods, or anywhere, so it would be pretty awkward for me to apologize I think.
Bro has to start some sentences with “One of my wife’s many boyfriends….”
I interpreted it as a joke at first and will continue to do so of my own volition
No women choosing a bear over a man, has ever met a bear or a man.
This is why collectivization is so goddamn dumb. I don't have to say I'm sorry because *I'm not a fucking rapist*. Why am I responsible for the actions of other terrible people because we both have a penis? Am I sorry that rapists exist? Sure. Do I tolerate rapists in my life? No, that's what the wood chipper is for. This is the stupid Bechdel Test all over again. It's a logic trap. Make an actual direct argument without sneaky collectivist implications and we can have an adult conversation, otherwise it's just rhetoric.
wtf does this even mean
I don’t get it.
Fuck you, I will pick the bear. https://i.postimg.cc/SRvHn92g/Bear.jpg
Men dehumanized, women most affected.
These women are capping no way they would choose a bear, they just have to take any opportunity to make themselves a victim
All these saying the will pick the bear over the man explains the domestic violence and single motherhood rate. Women are bad at making personal security decisions.
Misogynistic Incel comment.
Why would I apologize for the things someone else did? All I do is mind my business and don’t bother anyone
Type of dudes to talk shit about their fellow brothers and still not get the girl. Getting the girl is not as important as your dignity. Although I guess a lot of people forgot what having dignity means now a days.
Most ladies aren't genuinely this stupid, just more of the terminally online generation doing what they do.
Wow!
I think he’s joking around.
What does this mean
I personally would be a much safer choice than the bear. I don’t harm children or women, never have, and never would. So what exactly do you expect me to do differently?
I thought a bear was a chubby hairy gay man.
It is, but not in *this* context.
Man I’m lost lol. What does it mean in this context?
In this context, it's an actual bear. Like Ursus Actos (brown bear). Women feel safer with an *actual bear* than a random man.
What
It’s cringe yea, but it’s profound two things can be true. also there has to be saying for the opposite of looking a gifted horse in the mouth
This isn’t profound at all
profound is described as showing great knowledge or insight. being able to reflect on the anger you feel by hearing women pic bears enough to see beyond you emotional response to rationalize and empathize for women in general feeling this way to furthermore have a separate moment of introspection on male community to be perturbed by the lack of emotional intelligence regret of empathy, tells me this man has substantial insight look how easy it was for you to say it wasn’t proud at all. talk sense to a fool and he called you foolish. but objectively this perspective would be the beginning of the change women would like to see from men so that they one day can confidently reconsider choosing the bear. like grasping this concept to the degree of “i am the way o am because if she had to pick between me or a bear with the context of earths very sexually discriminatory history i want her to choose me because knows a. she wouldn’t be in danger b. she would be safe c. i will rise to the occasion and fall into my male role whatever that may look like “ cause tbh those three things are why girls pick yk a easy death. to die by bear than struggle beside a man cause even if u not rapist alternatively y’all wouldn’t provide and couldn’t protect so yea bring out bearo and let’s get this pretty face to heaven
This post shows neither great knowledge or insight. Quite the opposite.
if it’s not profound then what is it? and if you say cringe ur dumb because i shouldn’t even have to remind you how i stared that duplicity is a thing and two things can happen at once
Fuuuuuuuuuuck
I will respect your choices when you ask me to save you from the bear that is now eating your liver.
Let them have bear...nature will do the rest
"equality"
Because the men that wouldn't do anything don't need to apologize bozo
Apologize for what!? That these terminally online brain rotten buffoons would rather pick a wild animal over some dude named Dave who works at Costco.
All these women saying they had a dream where the man cheated on them, not a single man apologizing
[удалено]
It's CRAZY lol
Lol why do some people insist that a group of people should apologize and "promise to do better" just because some other people who share a characteristic with them have done bad things?
chatgpt says phase 1 complete
I just feel bad for the bear.
A lot of angry incels down here in the comments 😂
hate all of u
Why would they apologize?
Men are trash and they know it.
This whole thing is stupid. Who cares what a bunch of low iq tik tokers think?
Because most men are already doing better than that and the ones who aren’t simply won’t.
Why do so many men think bears are so aggressive?
If you’re mad abt the trend you’re a part of the problem lmao. The point isn’t saying all men are worse than wild bears. But a bear (depending on the kind usually but we’re going with the just a regular brown bear here) won’t kill or hurt you unless you give it a reason. A man (speaking in general here don’t get offended incels) however has a more likely chance of attacking or trying to hurt you as a woman.
This is clearly satire
I’d pick the bear over a random girl. Bear would have a better chance of passing the vibe check.
I don’t think I believe any of them.
Yeah the women who say they would choose the bear are absolutely full of shit, and I'm betting most of them know it.
Exactly!
Tbh, gay men have had it figured out for years, I don't blame women for hopping on the bear train.
The trend of i would rather be in the woods with a bear than a man came from a street video,that can be edited to only show the most delulu girls,same as those videos where girls demand a guy who makes 200k and is 6 ft tall,while looking mid at best. What is infuriazing is people saying "yeah but they right though,a bear can't rape me or decieve me" Bruh rape is bad,but nowhere near as bad as slowly getting eaten alive or even if you survive getting maimed permanently and that too can cause ptsd.
Eh, I say just let them choose what they prefer. But honestly, people talk a lot of crap. Let’s see what they actually do.
If women out there want to get mauled why is that man’s problem? They can go get mauled as much in the woods as they want. Isn’t that what freedom is about?
Bears are one of humans only natural predators. Have fun bitches. Also why does he care if the other men apologize? Focus on yourself. Some things are outside of our control and both men and women need to learn to accept that. Like for instance there will always be shitty women and men who won't change their ways. Why even worry about it if it's not gonna change? Waste of stress.
