    How many thousands of men have you interacted with and yet are still alive? Are you seriously suggesting you could interact with thousands of bears and have the same success rate? You’re manipulating the numbers in a very dishonest way.

    Nobody is scared of vending machines even though they kill more people than sharks, not because sharks are safer, but because almost nobody interacts with a shark but almost everyone has many safe interactions with a vending machine.

      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.

        It started as satire, perhaps, but I know woman who would literally rather go take their chances with a bear than a skeezy dude outside a bar following them to their car.

      “I’ve never been in a conversation with someone who wasn’t alive, therefore death isn’t real.”

      Fucking baby-brain shit. Have you even developed object permanence yet?

      Lol, are you literally thinking the hypothetical includes all men? They aren’t going to run away from their father, brother, cousin, or the nice old man who runs the laundremat.

      It’s about predatory men. Men that want something from them - sex, a relationship, companionship. The way mamy men pursue this is often very sketchy and/or dangerous. Domestic violence against woman is extremely common.
