Wasn't it 'would you like to be alone in the woods with a bear or a man'?

Which is absolutely normal, you are alone in the woods with boars, deer and other creatures that would fuck you up if given no other choice almost every time you enter the forest. Bears are not much different here.

Men are a danger to women. And I get that most men don't agree, and that most men feel 'threatened' by such statement. But by rejecting that message, they are letting the dangerous men fly under the radar. And those statistics do not lie.

I have personally never seen a man attack a woman. That does not make the statistics false. I still understand that all women are right to feel scared and I that we should as a society accept that we all need to do better to stop any chauvinistic tendencies, objectification, and any disregard to any concerns, specially from women, JUST LIKE THIS BEAR ONE.

Bears alone in the woods will go about their way, some men who see a woman alone will assault her. That's the point, let's all stop acting like every man is like that. But even if 1% of men are like that, it's still safer to be with a bear.

But it's kind of the same as cops. Few rotten ones will spoil the bunch unless every honest one will speak up and demand justice when sees 'a buddy being silly'.

Even worse is that instead of men stepping up and admitting that 'hey, maybe we are the problem so let us brainstorm ideas' they go 'no fuck you I wish you were mauled'. Cause that's what every denial of this exercise is.
