More empathy is needed on both sides. If you don’t understand how being told that women think that you’re more dangerous than a bear could be inflammatory, then you’re just as lacking in empathy as the people who don’t understand that enough men are so fucking shitty that many women would choose bear
It is insulting though. It being true doesn’t make it less so. You can communicate the truth in such a way that it doesn’t alienate potential allies, and create potential enemies

You are an individual! You do not need to make this general question about yourself! Gahh, it’s like trying to talk to myself 10 years ago.
