Also, men who feel the need to argue about why choosing the bear is "wrong" are the reason that most women choose the bear in the first place.
When I first I saw this question, I was one of those who got triggered, but since then I found that this question was just ragebait.
As I stated above, it is perfectly resonable for a woman to prefer to catch a glimpse of a bear in the woods, than meeting a random man.
It is sad, but it is reality, and we can't loose sight of it as that will prevent progress.
To be fair, the women who would answer that question first, are the ones who had umm...experiences with men, not good ones.
That's some incredible sexism, holy shit.
No, it isn't.
That the women most likely to engage with the question answer "bear" because they've been "umm'd" by men in the past? Yeah, that's... pretty textbook sexism.
You'd have women who had absolute jerks for bf's, or you know...got SA'd, so they are more likely to pay attention to a questionnaire like that, and have a rather negative view of men as a whole. Social media also amplifies outrage, and tends to encourage certain attitudes.
We need to do an actual study imho.
It's weird that we even assume people arguing the bear is wrong are men, I've had three people do that to me in this thread so far.
