Dare I ask what the man vs bear meme is all about and why it seems to be upsetting men so much? [CW: sexism] (hexbear.net)

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

Does pepper spray help vs bears?

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year 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

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.
