Would you rather be stuck in a forest with a bear or a man? - aka Debate user doodoocaca on the validity of rape victims

[glass_houses]

I'd rather the man. If the man turns out to be dangerous, he'd be much easier to kill/incapacitate. Maybe this would be different if I'd actually ever seen a bear irl and knew how to handle them. I think perhaps a better question is whether I'd rather be trapped in a forest with a man or a coastal taipan; I'd pick the taipan.

EDIT: No, I'm not a "all men are monsters" feminist, I just grew up in a scary, scary town, have some scary, scary family members, and worked in scary, scary places. I don't trust anyone, regardless of their sex. Animals are much more predictable than humans. That's all there is to it.

This type of question shows how disconnected the average person is from any type of unmanaged nature. Nobody answering with "bear" has ever been in an area with wild bears such Svalbard. Bears can be terrifying and extremely persistent if you catch their attention. I would not dare to be in the same area as one without having firearms.

Do you know this from personal experience

No, but if I was inclined I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard.

Now I actually saw this question before I realized it was a feminist thing and being posed at women. Naive me just thought it was based around philosophy, or a survivalist hypothetical. I actually picked the bear because bears are, to put it mildly, predictable. One bear is pretty much like another, with some exceptions, but a human being is unpredictable. If it's a young man, like me, he might kill me and take my food and stuff. If it's a woman, or an old man, or a child, then it's another mouth I have to feed and another dependent to take care of. But a bear is just a bear. Forests are BIG and a bear, more likely than not, won't go actively looking for me. I may not even see it at all. Yankees generally think any wildlife bigger than a mouse is an imminent threat and see a bear as being basically equivalent to Godzilla in terms of the danger it poses, but most bears are pretty docile and won't go after people. Polar bears are the exception but they don't live typically live in the woods. Most other bears just mind their own business - can't say that for a human.

Women are shit in a survival and self defense situation.

 

[Justa Grata Honoria]

imagine writing essays\manifestos because some women would rather be mauled by a bear than deal with the average western man.

Your women just told you they would choose death over touching you.

Seeth harder,

But all the longest posts here are by women and are mostly reasoning the opposite, and the one above you is reasoning that a man might not want to be stuck in the woods with another man.

I don't necessarily agree with that take and I think people should make a point of developing their organizational and cooperative skills if they aren't confident they could form a team with another person in a survival situation, but still.

You can't wish seething into reality.

Bear tastes pretty good, easy choice.

A bear, so I can punch it in its stupid face.

Women are getting out of hand with their hysterics thanks to metoo. This shit is all over facebook.

 

[gobbles]

Do I have to fight the bear? Usually they ignore humans.

I like being alone; I don’t want another person near me. The bear won’t talk to me or try to have sex with me. It’s not very often a person gets the woods to herself.

Besides, bears and I have a lot in common: we both overeat fresh fruit and fatty salmon, and we get sleepy when the world gets dark.

Why on earth would I pick the dude?

Peoples interpretation of the scenario is more fascinating than the answer. I imagined if I were out for a hike, which would I feel safer running into? I assumed this would be everyones thought as well. The man or bear isn't guaranteed to attack either, its not a question of "which would you rather fight alone" which a lot of low iq tards on Facebook are misunderstanding, probably deliberately.

 

[Higgs Bonbon]

My first thought was "which is hunting me and what are the cons of each", I really shouldn't be surprised that foidbrain interpreted that as "you have to have sex with one".

Worst case scenario a bear is just going to eat you and you'll probably be dead sooner than later. Bears don't make soundproof rapemurder dungeons to torture you for extended periods of time or rape your corpse even after you're dead.

Plus the natural instinct of bears is to stay the fuck away from humans so attacks are quite rare. Femicide, not so much unfortunately.

I'd rather my odds with the man in the woods being a murderer or rapist than the inevitable mauling from a bear. I'd rather not be eaten whilst still alive and able to feel every excruciating thing happening to my mangled body, thanks.

Man for sure, unless the bear is miles away and the man's past the point of a total break with reality and violently psychotic.

Even a serial killer would understand that if we're stranded in the wild, one of us harming the other greatly increases the chance of being totally fucked ourself as well.

 

[Android raptor]

I'd like to see if the prospect of this animal who is much bigger, heavier, faster and violent than they could ever be (and probably more intelligent as well), tearing their faces and intestines out while they're still alive in the silence of the woods would be a deterrent for these women.

I love how men asspained about this shit are reacting by openly having violent fantasies about women being eaten by bears, totally not reinforcing the bear actually being the safer choice or anything.

This is a retarded question made to elicit an emotional (aka retarded) response

Isn't that just this novel?

Surely, theoretically, it depends on what type of bear it is. 'Cos if it was, say, between a sloth bear, and a sun bear, I'd say bear. But, you know, as I said, it depends on the bear. I definitely wouldn't want to be stuck with a brown bear, or a polar bear (which is the most dangerous in terms of behaviour).
