Remember that ridiculous question of choosing man or bear? And feminist women choosing a bear, because they won’t “hurt” them? Then how will they react, if we switches “bear” to animals like venomous snake, gila monster, wasp, tarantula, Aedes aegypti mosquito, Anopheles mosquito, or tsetse fly?

I remember seeing some feminists getting triggered when a guy tried to say “would you choose a woman or a tiger in a forest”?

Would you trust the safety of your infant child to a Golden Retriever or a random woman?

Statistically the woman is way more likely to kill the child.

It's that easy to weaponise data to push a narrative. Extremely effective to create division and for spreading hate. It's everything but constructive.

"Choosing the bear" is just the female equivalent of MGTOW.

And we can all see the difference in how society treats this.

Somebody made an amazing answer to this:

TLDR: in a random encounter between a woman and a stranger in the USA, about 0.00000016% end in murder and around 0.00018% end in rape, based on the simple model presented below. The assumptions behind these numbers are WILDLY naive (since encounters and men are not randomly distributed), but even changing assumptions to make attacks 1000x more likely still suggests a 'random' man is a fairly safe proposition (better than 99.99% change to 'escape' unharmed). It is not possible to accurately compare this to a bear as there is no data on frequency of bear encounters, nor is it possible to analyse the impact of encounter type (i.e. being alone in the woods) on risk level. Nonetheless, available evidence, and my uninformed gut feel about bears, suggests that adult human men remain safer than multi-hundred kilo, razor toothed, carnivorous, wild animals.

Analysis:

Good news: women don't get murdered very often. "In 2020, for example, there were just over 21,000 homicides reported in the U.S. Of these, less than 5% of victims were female. Overall, less than 10% of all homicides were believed to have been committed by a stranger (Source)"

That's 105 women murdered by a stranger in a year.

To turn this into a 'rate', you would need to know something like how many interactions women have with strange men per year. That's obviously not something we can have good data on, but lets assume that the average woman in the USA 'encounters' an unknown man once per day on average across a year. (We can make this assumption because even changing it by a few orders of magnitude changes little in the conclusion). That means that the 168m women in the USA collectively have 61,320,000,000 'stranger encounters', of which 105 result in a murder. Therefore, we have one murder per 613,200,000 encounters.

This gives a very naive probability that a woman will be killed by a stranger she encounters of: 0.00000016%

Running the same numbers again for sexual assault, 26% of rapes or attempted rates are by strangers, and 432,000 took place in 2015, accounting for those NOT reported to police.

So there were something like 112,000 rapes by strangers in the USA. On the same model as above, this means that one rape takes place per 5,475,000 encounters. Meaning that you have around a 0.00018317% change of being raped on any given stranger encounter (again, caveating the naivety of a lot of these assumptions)

So ultimately whether you are safer with a completely random bear than a completely random man, depends on whether you think you have a better than 99.99999984% change of surviving a bear encounter.

Just misandry, that's all there is to it, call them for who they are and move on. People are so afraid to call a spade a spade for way too long, that why society is a sht now.

I'm sorry...

Technically, the animals you listed won't change the scenario as they don't just randomly attack you, only if they feel threatened - perhaps similar to the bear. Except for the mosquitoes or the tsetse fly, they actively seek to engage with you. But I guess you are going for the fear factor which is fair. No clue how feminists would react to that. It's hard to predict since their behaviour is just random and without any logic.

And technically, being raped by an animal or actively engaging in sexual intercourse with it aren't the same thing as you stated. Then you also might as well say "all women in sexual relationships would enjoy being raped by a man" which just isn't true.

It’s interesting to look at this situation from the opposite direction. The question is: if a woman were to need emergency assistance - say you crashed your car, it’s on fire, and you can’t get out - would you rather have a man or a woman around to help? If you say a man then you are correct. Historically men have been known to risk, and sometimes lose, their lives to save a stranger. Women not so much. There is some very interesting information out there about this kind of behavior.

Its been over a year since man vs bear question, yall are dragging it. Plus, doesn't that just show you how unsafe women feel?
