Someone posed a very ill-formed question that results in no winners. “Would you rather find yourself in the woods with a bear or a man?”
The argument is almost designed to make men feel discriminated against and women feel like men don’t listen to them. There’s just enough room for everyone to bring in their own assumptions about the situation to justify their position, so everyone else feels defensive.
That’s why I said the post didn’t feel appropriate to me, dragging this topic only makes it worse for everyone (even the poor ewoks), then some people started to misinterpret (some in clear bad faith) my statement and bring more hate 🙃
I’m tired of the internet, even asking for peace brings controversy nowadays…
It is basically a troll question designed to exploit the lack of immediacy, recency bias, and poorly-calibrated statistical assessment of threats, among those surveyed.
For comparison they could’ve placed the subjects in a room with 2 doors at the other side labeled “A” and “B” and posed the choice to the subject this way:
“Behind door A is a man randomly selected from the population. Behind door B is a bear randomly selected from the population of all bears. You have to press one of these buttons right now and whichever button you press will open the corresponding door and give either the man or the bear access to this room.”
Gonna guess they would get wildly different results than they did when it was just a nebulous hypothetical.
What did I miss?

The only winner is the bear.
women underestimate how dangerous bears are and overestimate how dangerous men are,
men underestimate how dangerous men are and overestimate how dangerous bears are,
everyone thinks the opposite just irrationally hates them and does it to hurt them.
Another person who missed the point.
No the friendly apex predator of the woods is painted in a very bad light in a lot of these arguments. So no winners really
I don’t get the context but it sounds like you are taking this personally.
That’s the neat part, it doesn’t matter what you say, 90% of the users on Lemmy are taking it personally.
Fair enough

The bear will eat quite well.
Not from eating people, bears don’t like people.
The bear is eating leftover popcorn from all the people watching the shitshow from the sidelines.
It’s becoming a problem, the bears are getting too fat for winter
