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.
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.
