  • It’s not every man, no.

    The survey said “man or bear”. Not “rapist or bear”. So yes, this is absolutely targeting men as a whole. Don’t piss in my mouth and call it lemonade.

    . Almost all people that commit sexual assault are men. (Of the men that are sexually assaulted, most are, yes, assaulted by other men.)

    All that has been reported, yes. It is a common occurrence for men to not report being sexually assaulted, and there have been cases where they were literally turned away. I’m by no means an extrovert, and I know at least 3 men who were sexually assaulted by WOMEN as children and it never resulted in any form of justice. One of them was laughed at when they told a trusted adult.

    Keeping in mind that >80% of all women have been the target of unwanted sexual attention from a man, how would you expect them to identify and avoid threats?

    Assuming unwanted sexual attention includes any form of unwanted sexual advances, unwanted sexual attention is NOT equivalent to rape and you are doing rape victims a massive disservice by trying to lump them into the same issue.

    My dude, I live in bear country

    That’s awful convenient

    The average number of people killed by bears each year in the US is 1.6. That’s it. Not even two people, on average, per year, in a country of 340,000,000 people. So, no, they are not likely to maul you to death.

    None of this changes the fact that they would trust a wild animal as powerful as a bear to over a fellow human being they know nothing about. It’s sexism. Naked sexism. You can try to justify and twist it, but it’s sexism all the same. I apply my principles evenly. Do you?


  • This is the exact same logic that racists use to excuse their prejudice against others. They assume black people are criminals because “FBI crime statistics”. You are using tragedy to excuse your hatred for half of the human population.

    Assuming every man is a rapist is prejudice and is both morally and practically wrong. Men are half the population of the world.

    Also, this is not a reason to answer bear on the survey unless you’re just trying to stick it to men (because of your prejudice). If you prefer to be in the company of an extremely powerful animal that is likely to maul you to death than a member of half the population, you are absolutely out of your mind and are obscenely sexist.












  • I don’t think you understand my point.

    Let’s break this down by making up a hypothetical sexual history for the woman in question:

    Guy 1 - Committed relationship, waited 3 months

    Guy 2 - Casual fling, no waiting

    Guy 3 - Committed relationship, waited 2 date

    Guy 4 - Casual relationship, no waiting

    Guy 5 - Hookup, no waiting

    If, now that she’s seeing guy 6, she magically decides it’s time to be responsible and wait for a while. Any guy that has self respect isn’t going to tolerate that. Why is this new guy so different than than the previous ones? Why does she make him wait, but none of the previous men?

    Anyone is going to figure that she is 1. Not attracted to him and is settling down after having fun to secure stability, or 2. Has cognitive dissonance about her past. A guy not accepting that and being skeptical of her intentions or level of honesty is fully justified.

    And for the record, I apply my principles evenly between men and women. Casual sex is disgusting and a long sexual history is a sign of impulsive, irresponsible behavior or placing no value on your body or relationships. Man or woman.
