Comment on So we currently have all these left wing folks claiming men are more dangerous than bears, why is the same group pushing multi gender washrooms so hard?

  Being triggered by the question is perfectly reasonable. It was a dumb proposition that was insanely hyperbolic. Obviously, most men won’t attack women out of the blue and bears are objectively dangerous (it’s not like if you see one you’re dead but if you don’t respect the danger you’re an idiot).

  I wouldn’t worry what this article implies and I wouldn’t take it personally because it’s dumb. I don’t know you but it’s unlikely you’re more dangerous to a woman than a bear… the author chose a really poor way to express themselves and you don’t have to let them define you.

  Also, yea, it fucking sucks that so many women (people even, of both genders) are assaulted by men. We’ve got a really serious social problem and we need to work together to solve it. Hyperbolic accusations don’t help build that trust network - they just tear it down.

    Normally I would take this route but man, I’m all all kinds of social media platforms (stupidly) and my feeds are full of misandry right now. I have to say it has me feeling down. To me I see it as confirmation that men really are completely worthless in society at this point

      Also - I’d suggest reading a sibling post by Jeffw - they dug up the whole actual article and it isn’t that unreasonable. I’d been working off the title (and it’s an awful title) but the contents are alright.

      Lastly, please remember that you don’t have to engage with any of this - you can go for a walk, play a game, do some wood working -whatever. If you’re feeling stressed by the internet it is perfectly reasonable to disengage to protect your sanity.

  bears are more dangerous than men, full stop

  Bears are well known to start wars and possess nuclear warheads.

    Literally every person who said bear, if actually found in this hypothetical situation, would say man 100% of the time and I’d bet all my money on it

      Wait, are you saying man is more dangerous than bears?

        They would rather wake up in the woods next to a random man 100% of the time

  I have a lot of lady solo hiker friends and none of them have EVER had a strange encounter with a random man in the woods

  That is either untrue or you know like two women. It's super common for lone women to have strange encounters with random men.
