The dudes trying to defend themselves feel personally attacked, because telling someone that the average woman thinks they’re more dangerous than a bear feels both unfair and discriminatory.
I’m not a man and not trying to defend myself. I just think the bear aren’t being reasonable (when taken literally and not as a thought provoking comment)
It’s like and introvert saying they would rather fight a gorilla than make a phone call for a doctors appointment. Yeah I understand the point you’re making but beyond the hyperbole, no reasonable person is actually choosing the gorilla over a phone call.
Totally understand your point, I’m not saying that the anti bear side is all dudes defending themselves. Although I should have written that better because it’s not obvious.
I’m mostly responding to the post title of “Either ya understand why most women pick the 🐻 or you are the 🐻” which has the effect of making men feel bad for trying to defend themselves.
I wish more people were as level headed as you in these discussions. Part of my point is that the bear side aren’t being reasonable

Try assuming the person saying it is reasonable.
That’s the problem. Women are reasonable. They have good reasons for saying what they are saying.
