I don't go on social media so I don't really get it but I have seen memes here and there of women getting mauled by bears presented in a "heh, serves her right" kind of way.

So weird that dudes complain that they can't get women when the message they put out there is they hate women and make images of them being brutally mauled. what-the-hell

EDIT: I did not expect to see people I trust minimise SA here. I'm disappointed, that's something I expect from a random chud blowing in from another instance, not you guys. Most of you were extremely cool in your answers, but to the one or two that weren't. Do fucking better.

Its upsetting men so much cause it means that they might actually have to acknowledge that there's a problem.

Tiktok yuppies saying something they don't believe in order to seem cool.

The whole man vs bear meme is literally a repurposed right wing argument used against Muslims and other minorities. If you're literally spouting Nazi propaganda but erasing the "Muslim" in front of "Muslim man" than the question is probably inherently flawed.

Women: I feel unsafe

Neckbeards online: This is exactly why the suicide rate for men is so high! (Note: it’s not.)

it's been a few years, time to rehash not all men -> yes all women

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I mean, yeah I don't want to say that all men are like that, but damn it seems pervasive enough to be concerning.

Edit: lol wait I just got what you're saying, damn I'm dumb

Does pepper spray help vs bears?

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 26 points 6 months ago

yes! there are literally bear sprays but iirc most of the deal with those is they're setup for wider dispersal because bears are tall

[-] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

More distance on the squirt also. Human pepper spray assumes you're pretty close to the person you're spraying. Bear spray has a range of more like 20'. It sprays out more like a line.

Imma be honest picking the bear feels like True Crime Brain, unless your point is only “Bears aren’t dangerous and it would be cool to see one”

It is the exact same as the white women who have told me they felt afraid for their lives and don’t feel safe in this city because homeless man talked to them in the park once (to be clear this is not an exaggeration, this is a story one of my friends has told me about “almost” getting attacked walking through the park, it was just a homeless man spoke to her once and then walked on the same path for a few minutes)

If I’m walking through the woods and I come across a man, I assume he’s in the woods for the exact same reason I am. Are y’all panicking every time you pass another hiker going the opposite direction?

Bears aren’t scary, but neither are people and if you get scared upon seeing a random guy you need to go to therapy and to stop listening to My Favorite Murder
