Anyone who says this has literally never encountered a bear before
I've been charged and nearly killed by a grizzly near Nordegg AB like 10 years ago. Bear spray did nothing.
Hundreds upon hundreds of humans met on the trail and none have tried to kill me.
I worked as a hiking guide in the Chilcotin Mountains for a year, and did a Grizzly population count for a land use report during that time. I literally had more than one bear encounter per week, sometimes 5 in a day.
You're a hiking guide, and you think a random person in the woods is scarier than a bear? I am sorry but I just don't believe you.
The only stranger I ran across in those woods during the year was an armed, drunk man, so yeah.
Bears don’t kidnap and torture. Bears don’t rape. Bears don’t keep women captive for years in their basements and impregnate them over and over and then rape their children.
Bears don’t expect women to suck their cocks and force it into our mouths when we refuse. Bears don’t grope, make cat calls, or otherwise make us afraid as we walk home. Bears don’t force themselves into our anuses because they were mad we did anal sex with a past boyfriend.
Bears don’t spike our drinks. Bears don’t blame us for getting raped. Bears don’t share intimate videos and pics with their friends.
I can avoid bears. I can’t avoid men.
OK so you do admit bears are scary. Why are you avoiding them? Lol
I'm actually on board with what you're saying for once.
That said I've been abused by a woman before in arguably worse ways than what you describe and the cool part is that nobody cared or believed me
Maybe all humans are just terrible? That's what I think.
Reading comprehension is lost on the lot of you, I swear.
I never said that bears aren't scary.
Men are scarier than bears.
You’ve been abused worse than being kept captive and impregnated over and over again and forced to watch your children be raped by their sperm donor?
I was with a narcissistic woman for 10 years who tried to kill me multiple times, stole everything from me including all my friends, my computers, my guitars, kicked me out of my own apartment and I was homeless for a month (and then almkst lost my career for sleeping in my office), told everyone I know that I'm a violent rapist, bunch of other fun stuff that makes me permanently afraid of getting close to women
I'm a man though so you don't give a shit lol. Literally nobody gave a shit except my parents and sister, to this day
No one cares when women are raped either, so you’re in good company.
Yeah they do. Did you read my comment? I was simply accused of rape and every single person abandoned me
We have a rapist as president.
Nobody cares.
I care. As do most Canadians. You really do live in fantasy land. Go back to reddit please
I see how Canada treats your indigenous women. And that’s just scratching the surface.
Fuck Reddit. Pick up a fucking history book, why don’t you.
4 times more missing indigenous men than women but nobody cares or talks about it.
You are so confidently incorrect with everything you say that it's pretty infuriating at this point.
You’re agreeing with me that nobody cares.
Again, pick up a fucking book.
We care about missing indigenous women, it's actually a huge industry here now. No mention of the men tho.
Yeah all those women raped, beat, kept captive, impregnated, murdered, tortured - that was just bears in men’s suits.
Silly us.
If you encountered as many bears as you did men, you wouldn't be alive lol.
This debate is garbage though. You'll never get close to a bear in your entire life so having this conversation with you is pointless
You’re missing the entire point of the meme. And I’m not here to debate it.
It’s not for you. It was posted inside a women’s only community as a meme.
Having a bunch of men speculating that women shouldn’t be allowed our own space because misandry might happen is ridiculous.
Anyone who partakes in man vs bear debate is a sexist. It's perfectly designed rage bait.
Anyone who thinks men are more dangerous than bears are either sexist or uneducated.
You should have this conversation with a woman who actually spends time in the back country. Someone who has personally had a close call with a bear before.
I've almost been killed by a bear before but you don't care and won't listen to a word I say because I'm a man.
I thought you weren’t going to debate this?
I’m not debating this.
I’m defending the womensstuff community. It’s not a misandrist space.
This thread has been great at definitively identifying the sexists of lemmy. There sure are a lot of you.
Is the sexism in the room with us?
You must be trolling. Otherwise I'm kind of jealous how blissfully unaware you are of how the world works.
I don’t see any sexism in this thread other than OP complaining that women have their own space.
You don't see any sexism and you think bears don't kill people. Reddit isn't sending their best here are they?
Reading comprehension is lost on you, I see.
Have the day you deserve :)
