What an odd situation to pretend only affects women. What, you think men wouldn't be at least wary about running into a stranger in the middle of the night when you're not expecting it?
It’s more absurd than you may realize. I had to look up the article to confirm, because OP is a filthy jpg poster, but this isn’t just a redux of “men can walk anywhere at night, right?” No, this about the new twitter/tik tok trend of women saying that if they had to choose between encountering a random man and encountering a bear, they’d pick bear.
Presumably, this is because of a combination of feminist ideology, terrible risk assessment, and/or an inability to understand numbers contextually—a common argument is “but there are so many more rapes than bear attacks,” which is obviously facile.
There are more rapes than bear attacks because we don't tend to go where the bears are, what a bunch of morons.
Not to mention rape is still exceedingly rare. Just think of how many women walk around the typical city compared to how few rapes there are. Its complete and utter BS fearmongering to try to claim women do or should constantly live in fear of it.
Most people are raped by someone they know. Same goes for children.
Means, Motive, Opportunity.
Only the people who have many opportunities to rape you ultimately will. Unless they're just really lucky or their motivation is very strong, which is rare.
Anyways.. anecdotally.. I've never run into a stranger in the woods and not had it turn into a good time.
This may sound a little off topic but it's germane. There is a media trope called rape is worse than murder. That's what these people actually think. That rape is the single biggest evil.
There was a showed called Joan of Arcadia in the early 2000s about a teenage girl who God spoke to. God would inhabit a person and talk to Joan. In one episode God is talking about Joan's mother being raped as a teenager. And he says, "I don't like to use the word evil, but what happened to your mom was truly evil."
Now I think we can all agree raping is an evil act. But can you imagine God who saw all of human history, calling rape especially evil?
Its the same "vending machines kill more than sharks" argument.
Because most people will walk by a vending machine daily, and a good chunk of them even interact with it. Whereas the vast majority of people will never be in the ocean, and an even smaller amount out far enough to be near sharks whatsoever.
We should encourage this line of thought. Convincing retarded women to take their chances with the bear can only improve the quality of the gene pool.
It's also a bunch of women who don't hike, because two solo hikers meeting each other in the woods is very common. I imagine 1,000 women have ran into me in the woods and mountains and lived trama-free.
I remember reading a book where the author recounted two women climbing the Appalachian trail and in the designated campground was attacked, raped and murdered.
The thing is they didn't run into a man, they ran into a rapist-identifying person.
I love womens rights
This meme has an odd air about it though. It feels as though the dam is starting to break for many ordinary feminists regarding how insane the extremists are.
I hope so!
I hate to be that commenter, but...
They don't care. They don't give a fuck about men.
Unfortunately that's what it comes down to.
We literally matter less than dirt to the kind of "author" who writes articles like this...
They don't give a fuck about anybody but themselves, honestly...
I was chased by a homeless man in the park. You bet I started running.
I've also had a female meth head take a swing at me with a stick while I was minding my own business.
Men can be scared and women can be scary. It all depends on the circumstances
Well there is the little inconvenience that feminists often overlook that men are the vast majority of victims in all violent crimes. The only subcategory that women are the majority of victims in is in sexual crimes, and those studies can wildly vary in statistics from study to study based on biases.
But yeah, out on the street, men are more likely to be a victim than a woman. But that fact isn't fearmongering, so it doesn't get shared around.
