Someone posed a very ill-formed question that results in no winners. “Would you rather find yourself in the woods with a bear or a man?”
The argument is almost designed to make men feel discriminated against and women feel like men don’t listen to them. There’s just enough room for everyone to bring in their own assumptions about the situation to justify their position, so everyone else feels defensive.
That’s why I said the post didn’t feel appropriate to me, dragging this topic only makes it worse for everyone (even the poor ewoks), then some people started to misinterpret (some in clear bad faith) my statement and bring more hate 🙃
I’m tired of the internet, even asking for peace brings controversy nowadays…
There is on average 1 bear related death a year in the US. Bears do not want to hurt you, they want to be left alone. They are known quantity with known reactions and don’t approach you unless you’ve already gotten way too close.

The only winner is the bear.

No the friendly apex predator of the woods is painted in a very bad light in a lot of these arguments. So no winners really
The bear will eat quite well.
Not from eating people, bears don’t like people.
The bear is eating leftover popcorn from all the people watching the shitshow from the sidelines.
It’s becoming a problem, the bears are getting too fat for winter

I don’t get the context but it sounds like you are taking this personally.
That’s the neat part, it doesn’t matter what you say, 90% of the users on Lemmy are taking it personally.
Fair enough
