The original question when posed wasn't really meant to be that way.

But it has been reduced down to a couple words ("man or bear?") reliant on drawing out prejudices rather than a thought provoking perspective.

Like in this thread alone you have a dozen different interpretations on what it is about or means. So as a result it serves as a confirmation bias for even oppositional views. So even feminists and incels alike feel validated by what is being posed and how people answer.

Vagueness is the playground of the prejudiced and divisive.
