I feel like women have every right to just give up on us men at this point.
They kind of have. That's why they chose the bear.
Yeah getting angry and defensive in the comments of this story of all stories will sure show them different huh?
He straight up didn't call all men rapists and dangerous, he said:
I feel like I'd give up on eating pasta if one out of every ten had a big shard of glass in it. Doesn't take every one having a shard of glass.
Dude you have told people to touch grass and you think running into a black bear means you have a 50/50 chance of dying? Bwahahaha. Why yes, I'd rather startle a black bear than be alone in the woods with a guy.
Touch -and I can not emphasize this enough: Grass.
As we all know women have a "this dude is a rapist" detector and "this dude is an abuser" detector, where we can easily distinguish between men who are threats and men who aren't. Rape and DV only happen when we are waiting for the detectors to get back from regular maintenance or repair.
Lmao it is incredibly unlikely to run into a polar bear in the mainland US. Much less likely than running into a violent man.
Nah we are talking averages and uncertainty that exists in a low information scenario.
I think I’ll take my chances with the bear over you specifically. I know it won’t lecture me for getting away from it
Oh my god I’m so sorry sir please tell me how my entire gender is always wrong about you specifically! And about our local wildlife. I definitely haven’t spent my entire childhood taught how to avoid bear attacks (and man attacks, but for some reason those lessons went on past childhood). I definitely just assumed I’d run instead of do what I was taught to do when hiking as a kid.
Also you ever notice how misandrists want to avoid men, but misogynists want to subjugate women?
Wow really steering into that skid there buddy.
So obsessed with that bear thing, yet still hasn't gotten the point of it yet. Wow.
It would require putting himself in the headspace of women. And listening and empathizing with women. Completely unviable for him at this point in time, and will continue to be so long as he values protecting his own fragile masculine position over genuine human connection
Still! Lol.
Would you let 10 deadly snakes into your home if only 1 would bite you? How about 9?
Anyway while you're weighing that I'm going to be somewhere else doing lesbianism as someone who is bi but refuses to deal with men's bullshit.
As a lesbian I fucking swear guys like this make my romantic life so much easier
You buy the women that are used to dating them flowers and they talk about it for a month, or whatever that bit was
My preferred trick is to listen and cook dinner.
And like, I’m not saying men can’t do all this, I’m just confused because it seems like enough don’t that I come off really well to women who dare men

Bwahahaha
Oh that's a good one. Let me get into why it is funny
The lack of self awareness. Note how these two ideas can exist in his head at the same time.
I just directly said I would prefer if men weren't. You mean this as some sort of insult but it'd be a relief if actually true!
Also, the idea that this is the best insult you can come up with, the idea of men being uninterested in me. A real poverty of imagination here.
Anyway, thanks for the chuckle.
Yes, do you think because I don't sleep with or date men, men and how to interact with men has been purged from my brain? I still need to interact with male coworkers, strangers, acquaintances, friends, metamours, etc. Lmao. Are your forehead veins throbbing right now?
Wait are you equating men with all people here? Lmao.
Why are you continuing to get mad at this strawman?
Why are you continuing to get mad at another strawman?
Having realistic fears around dealing with men does not mean I hate them.
What are you even trying to cope about? Do you identify with the subgroup of men who are dangerous or are you just upset that women aren't mindreaders so they are cautious around men, and taking it out on women and not the dangerous men who have created the climate of fear and uncertainty?
Oh buddy. Gay men can be real shitheads to women(I've literally been assaulted by a gay man as an incredibly shitty joke, also see: "I can't be misogynistic, I'm gay!"), and also we can't tell if someone is gay or bi.
You're equating people being cautious around you to a punishment.
Also the permissive attitude of the majority of men is what allows a minority to abuse women.
The bear argument is about a random man lol. Why do you think it is about you personally?
Being cautious around someone is not the same as ostracizing someone.
It straight up isn't about you specifically though, except you're the type to freak out about it so maybe it is about you. I certainly wouldn't be willing to have this conversation with you in person, you're acting aggrieved about women expressing their feelings. Seriously, why don't you just scream at women to stop feeling the way they feel about men some more, I'm sure that will help things.
Permissive of what though? Because I was complaining about men creating a permissive culture around disrespecting and mistreating women.
We are literally having this conversation because you're hyperdefensive and equate women being cautious of and scared of men with them thinking men are bad.
I'm guessing you'd be scared of a bear, do you think bears are evil? Do you hate bears?
Literally no one is saying that, you're shadowboxing.
It literally is from logic that you refuse to understand.
You still don't get that the issue is that you're claiming it is generalization when the issue is that women aren't fucking mindreaders and men often conceal their motives and blend in with more benign men. You have to be cautious around men because you don't know what you're getting.
Oh, no, I bet it has to be really hard being viewed with distrust because men as a whole behave badly. The problem is that that feeling doesn't permit you to tell women that they should stop being cautious and that their fears are unreasonable.
