    When you meet a bear in the woods, there is a 0% chance they will notice how the situation bears a resemblance to the popular meme and proceed to mansplain about how bears are more dangerous.

    This is and has always been the one and only reason women choose the bear. But one question yet eludes us: how did the cycle start?

      If youre so suicidal youd rather to be eaten alive than a chance to be condescended to, theres a problem.

        If the biggest threat you pose to women is possible condescension, and you don’t understand why this is a meme, then maybe you’re one of the good guys.

          Tbh, my bigger question is if you’re in bear country, why arent you carrying a big gun? Be prepared!

          The whole thing just reinforces a helpless victim mentality, and it irritates me. Its misogynistic. If you’re that worried, buy a gun, learn to use it safely, and carry it. To me, this is on the same level of not having a fire extinguisher or toilet plunger. I just dont understand people who refuse basic defense. Did they watch an old western and see the damsel get tied to the railroad tracks and get the wrong message?

            Some people think “just buy a fire extinguisher”. Other people think “why not prevent the fire in the first place?” And a few people think “I prefer defense in depth. Mitigate the fires to the degree possible and keep a fire extinguisher nearby for emergencies.”

            Only one of these people has it right. Can you guess which one?

              In both scenarios, youre still carrying the gun. Just in one, youre not going down crime alley at night. Youre carrying regardless.
