It’d be nice to be able to walk down a street without making other people uncomfortable because men in general are less assholish than bears.

Eh..... The vast majority of encounters with bears are generally with black bears where both sides are usually just scared of each other and scamper away.

I think most men just lack the perspective of just how vulnerable women are compared to men. Imagine if you lived in a world where you were surrounded by dudes the size of your average NFL lineman, and a non insignificant percent of them have a history of sexual violence towards someone your size...... You too might be nervous walking in the dark by yourself.

I am 6'3 with a cut weight around 245lb and I have to be mindful about how I carry myself, or how closely I walk near people to not make people of any sex uncomfortable. There's a reason a big jolly guy is a stereotype, no one is comfortable around a large dude with an attitude.
