I don’t understand why this triggers so many men. I think a lot of them just have absolutely no experience talking with women or reading about their interactions with men. Just a total lack of curiosity or interest in what life is like for women.
Genuinely men don’t see some of the issues women deal with. Like, all of my female friends have stories about dudes being creeps, but my male friends mostly don’t have stories like that. It’s extremely easy to be out of touch with even your close friends on this matter.
Also, most people have no experience with wildlife and think all bears are murder machines.
The vast majority of bear encounters outside of very specific locations are with black bears. In which case you just end up momentarily scaring each other and then they run away.
I personally don’t like it because the analogy makes the generalization that ALL men are evil and planning to cause harm. That’s incorrect, and vilifies me. I didn’t do anything to be vilified. I didn’t throw any stones, so wtf…
Generally speaking, I abhor these types of fictitious analogies. I understand that women have apprehension of men in general. I know why that is. This whole bear thing is just mean to every man though. I don’t appreciate it.
I really don’t want to give a rhetoric lesson in a comment, but not everything people say is a 100% absolute that is about you specifically. It’s a commentary on the fact that many women do not feel safe around a random man because of their lived experiences. If you don’t understand why that is, you have the entire internet at your disposal.
Look, you claimed you didn’t understand something. I attempted to provide feedback that would provide insight. It’s pretty clear your claim that you didn’t understand wasn’t sincere; just more wanting to shit on people that feel bad about having been shit on already. I didn’t ask for you to provide anything at all; you probably shouldn’t have. You seem like a terrible human being.
