There have been 3 bear attacks in the USA this year, all three fatal.

Now do men.

Your mind is going to be blown when you find out about the number of man attacks this year.

I bet even male toddlers killed more people in the us

"Humans also generally leave you alone if you're not in their immediate vicinity"

You should talk to a women one day.

you get only 2-5 *actual attacks* reported per year.

There have been 3 black bear attacks in the USA this year, all three fatal, and one brown bear attack, also fatal.

And is 3 + 1 within the range [2, 5]? I know it's a tough question, but I have faith you can manage to figure it out!

Four is between two and five, though? Which is exactly what they said?

Have you never seen any report of how many women experience some form of sexual assault from men in their life? Because that's higher than you think.

I don’t think you understand what adjusted for population means. Bears kill like 2.6 people a year.

Humans kill ~11,000 times as many, and have 100 times the population. So humans are 110x more likely to kill you than a bear. (Note this is humans, not men. Men are responsible for 87.5% of known murders, but 50% of the population.) Adjusting for this, men are ~145 to 200x more likely to kill a human than a bear (like a quarter of murders are unknown so I gave it a wide range) You also have to take into account humans are generally bound by society and thus most human interaction won’t be as dangerous where as it’s not like a bears gonna be like “uh oh there are cameras here or other people might see me kill this person” so like… yeah you can’t perfectly account for everything but uh, point being bears really aren’t that dangerous if you see one alone in the woods.

Also sorry if I didn’t provide links and math might be slightly whatever I was taking and shit and honestly don’t care that much.

Edit: and before you try and say anything else please note this is me being nice and only looking at literal murder. Ignoring assault and sexual assault and etc, which all bear attacks are about 35 a year total and… yeah human numbers are uh, MUCH higher.

The entire argument of a woman meeting a bear or a random man in the woods is dumb from the start.

Most bears would run away from a human in the woods, a normal human is not seen as prey in most situations.

So this makes the argument more like asking:

Would you rather catch a glimpse of a bear in the woods or meet a random man in the woods?

Which makes far more sense both logically and emotionally, especially when people pick the bear over the man.

As a man, the original question about meeting a man or a bear in the woods, initially triggered a feeling of being compared to a lethal animal or certain death, and coming up short.

This obviously feels unfair to most men (and to be completely fair, it IS completely unfair to most men).

However, looking at the more realistic outcome of "meeting" a bear, i.e. catching a glimpse of it, it makes far more sense.

Sorry for the ramble, I am just annoyed at the stupid question and got caught up overanalyzing it.
