RIP women, but tbh what did they expect when they chose the bear
I mean, they're not exactly wrong, the odds of getting raped on an evening walk are drastically higher than a bear screwing with them.
Being a guy, I think the odds are still relatively low, but also being a guy, I don't have any say in how they feel about things nor their experience to understand.
A random bear is a lot more likely to maul you to shit than a random dude is to rape you lol. It's a horrible choice but I respect it (rip)
I get the feeling you're not acquainted with wild bears.
Unless they feel threatened (especially with cubs) they generally DGAF.
Almost 1 in 2.1 Million Chances of Being Attacked by a Bear. (National Park Service)
I think it really depends on the bear. Polar or grizzly, and you're in trouble.
This is about being with a bear vs a dude though. That stat is for randomly getting attacked...
This was the sauce

be in the woods with a bear or a man
The Parks Service is reporting on bear attacks in the woods.
While true it's not man attacks in the woods, it's close enough to at least understand it.
