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.
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?
