Tap for contextSome woman on the internet said she would feel safer spending a night in the woods with a random bear rather than with a random man

I am unironically bearpilled in this context. Men can be fucking scary with women. At least I'm unlikely to be SA'd before I die, with the bear.

You're right. A bear wouldn't sexually assault you, he would simply kill you.

[–] apotheotic 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes! As opposed to the man, who would SA me and then kill me!

[–] Skates@feddit.nl 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hey, idk what kinda people you hang with, but for what it's worth I would do neither.

[–] apotheotic 1 points 6 months ago

That's awesome, glad to hear it!

A polar bear likely

A brown bear maybe

A black bear unlikely

Oh my fucking god. I think it can't get any worse for a mother.

Why by default man is a serial killer and sa? What are the odds that dude is a psycho? What are the odds that bear is a killer? Do you understand how hard it is psychologically to murder someone if you are a normal person?

[–] apotheotic 16 points 6 months ago (3 children)

The man is not "by default" a serial killer and sa, its just a possibility I don't want to entertain.

And yes, hello, I am normal person. I understand how hard it is psychologically to murder someone. I also know how hard it is psychologically to SA someone. And yet...

This is a "this is the option I would take" situation. I didn't insult anyone, I didn't say YOU have to take the bear. If you disagree, that's perfectly okay, but you can't tell me how I should feel, despite many men thinking that's acceptable.

Odds of a sexual abuser need not be high for the man, they're simply 0% for the bear.

Somebody's consumed too much tiktok paranoia porn

[–] apotheotic 5 points 6 months ago

Are you referring to me? I wouldn't touch tiktok with a 10 foot pole, or any of the infinite scroll short form video things for that matter. I'm not on twitter either. Or tumblr.

My POV is based on my personal experience and the experiences of women around me. And statistics!

Weird that you're so afraid of black men that you'd prefer a bear over them.

This is how George Floyd happens

[–] apotheotic 24 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

What the fuck did I say about black men? White men (men, regardless of race, for that matter) scare the fuck out of me my guy

E: You wouldn't happen to be a... man would you? Would be very fitting with the whole "derailing a conversation about women feeling unsafe" thing.

[–] MrBusiness@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's not a man, that's a troll.

[–] apotheotic 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah I realised after a while. What a sad human.

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago

You're thinking Emmitt Til and that wasn't because the white woman was afraid, it was because she was willing to go along with the white men.
