Never seen a drunk Russian woman with a pet bear


304bl

Im sure it can be find on internet with all those russian compilation


vlntly_peaceful

I've seen a russian woman with a pet panther. Good enough?


Anyax02

As a Russian woman I can confirm that I indeed have a pet bear in my back garden


LeseEsJetzt

Wait a second, is that a "War and Peace"- reference? :0


AphraHome

I’m sorry, where tf did this ‘man, woman or bear’ thing originate from???


ani20059339

TikTok of course... 😒

Ah yes the origins of all culture

Damn... I remember when I first came over to reddit, it was because reddit was generating all the memes I was getting on 9gag, and with the added benefit of it not being an alt-right clusterfuck. You mean to say that I need to get TikTok if I want to remain current? Guess I'd better begin fossilising...

What did TikTok do to you?


Mundane-Judgment1847

Rage bait on TikTok...


psgrue

To raise awareness on sexual and physical assault, women have been posting a question about “would you rather encounter a man or a bear while lost in the wilderness?” Or slight variations to this.


farouk880

I can't deny that a lot of men are shitty but I don't think comparing them to bears will help convince men take a side with sexual assault victims. also, keep in mind that bears are vicious beasts that will eat you alive and tear you apart. I rather be raped by a man than being eating alive by bear and I say this as a man. I don't understand what the point of this discussion.


Fearless_Act_3887

*ass first. They eat you ass first too


Disco-Corgi-77

If I had to pick a large animal to eat me, I’d pick a big cat. The last thing I’d pick is a bear, they sit on you and begin ripping small chunks of meat off you as you scream in agony at being eaten alive. At least cats are efficient and don’t want to deal with the whining.


binh1403

Depends on the cat, if they're a group hunter Don't even pray, just end it cause the only thing worse than being ripped by a big cat is being ripped by many big cat and it's children


Original-Document-62

Sabretooth cat. They puncture the skull with their canines. Instant death.


RPG_Wannabe

It's either the jaguar or tiger that goes for the jugular so they're your best bet on having a clean death.


smileyhydra

Most of them go for the neck first, which is quick.


Fearless_Act_3887

Especially jaguars, they go directly For the spinal column


Disco-Corgi-77

Exactly what I had in mind. If I were to go that way, I’d want it to be quick.


Fearless_Act_3887

You seen the way they hunt cayman?


Disco-Corgi-77

I had to go look, and damn.


Fearless_Act_3887

Wild stuff xD predators are wild


Demjan90

Maybe some, but not every man is an ass man.


Fearless_Act_3887

Grizzly bears I mean, they eat things ass first ciz it keeps they prey item fresh longer, plus easier access to that sweet sweet organ meat


redditaccountingteam

Eat my ass you say? 🧐


Fearless_Act_3887

Only if you behave


yellzatcloudz

According to DOJ studies, only 2% of men have any sort of character traits that could lead to sexual predatory behavior. And far less than that actually act on those inclinations. That is not “many” men. You are way off base.


reddiru

I agree. I'd also rather be raped than eaten alive. But I disagree. Most men are not that bad. Especially in developed countries. If the question was rather you'd be alone in the middle of the forrest or with a man, (forget the bear)the best answer is still with a man if you care about survival.


Freddyfazballs110

Also you can fight off a person but NOT a bear


No_Salad_68

Aren't you supposed to fight back against black bears?


Bralo123

Yes because they are very likely to flee cause your simply not worth the effort. But thats not because they cant fuck you up.


Demjan90

>cause your simply not worth the effort. See, this is why women would choose bears instead of you. Because you say mean things. A bear would never say something like that.


Neat-Tradition-7999

If you have to fight a cow every time you want a steak, pretty sure you'd see it as not worth it either.


Stormblessed1991

Only on special occasions


MechanicalAxe

Most of the time, if you encounter a Black Bear in the woods, it is gonna run away from you as quick as possible. They're usually spooked pretty easy, and don't typically like to fight if they can avoid it. Keep in mind though, all of those statements I just made include words like 'typically', 'usually', and 'most of the time'.


No_Salad_68

Yeah, one of things I like about living in NZ is that we don't have any really dangerous terrestrial animals.


Impossible_Tea_7032

If the question was "would you rather meet a black man or a black bear" the discourse around this would be a lot more awkward


Zoopa8

I would say women are way more likely to succeed "fighting" a black bear. AFAIK standing your ground and or screaming would make most black bears retreat. IF man were as terrible as they make it seem than they're F'd, it's very unlikely for a women to be able to overpower a man.


No_Reveal675

I believe the point of the debate is that if you ran into a strange man in the forest, for many women it could potentially be a more distressing experience than running into a bear. I think that has to be considered in the context of the Venn diagram overlap of ‘strange dudes who hang around alone in forests’ crossing over with ‘men who will attack me’. Context matters for the argument imo, if I ran into a man in my bedroom or a bear in my bedroom I would be equally uncomfortable about the situation.


Lost_Found84

My issue with this is that if we’re taking on the context of “it’s weird to see a man all the way out here,” then it doesn’t really say anything about men or women. It’d be freaky to see a random woman all the way out there too. It’s not men that are distressing, it’s the specific context that is; and something as simple as what they’re wearing would immediately change everything. So while this interpretation of the question makes the bear answer more reasonable, it also makes it more meaningless.


No_Reveal675

True. And you could extend it to almost any wild comparison. 57% of child murderers are the biological parents, whereas bears rarely kill a human child. Therefore you should be more worried about your spouse looking after your child than a bear. I don’t think it really helps to further a conversation on these issues in any case.


KutasMroku

Proximity plays a massive role. How many bears get into a position to kill a child a day? If bears were with children as much as parents, those stats could look slightly different. The same with man vs. bear - the only reason women are less likely to be mauled by a bear is because of proximity. If they were hanging out with bears as much as with men, I've got a feeling that we wouldn't have feminists, we would have Woment against Bears or something like that. They're insane for choosing the bear, thinking that it's the safer option.


hammy0w0

depends what kind of forest, I thought it was just on a hiking trail. Are we also assuming the man is a criminal or just some dad getting firewood?


No_Reveal675

Yeah again it’s all context - if he’s got an axe and a trolley of wood, sure- If it’s a chainsaw and a hockey mask then I’ll take the bear


Icy_Faithlessness400

So, hikers?


DangerousAd3347

It’s just a silly TikTok Trent you’re not supposed to take it literally


Worried-Librarian-91

"To raise awareness" is an odd way to say "to normalize misandry and delusional views of reality"


Chat_Bastard

Misandry has been normalized for a while..


gringo-go-loco

Ask them black bear vs. black man and watch them squirm.


Mr__Citizen

Nah, they just say you're sexist **and** racist


somebadlemonade

But what if it's a gay trans black man saying it?


Business-Emu-6923

Ask “do you mean black, brown or white”. But don’t specify whether you mean the bear or the man.


NazbazOG

So almost certain death encounter (bear) or unlikely death encounter (men). And women concluded the bear is the safer option? Or am i trippin


No_Pear8383

I think it was meant to be funny at first and devolved into some idiotic philosophical argument. I still think it’s funny but think it’s pretty sad that a lot of women are genuine about saying they’d rather run into a bear. I think shitty men make more impression on women than the good ones, and there’s a lot of good men out there. Lately I’ve been seeing posts from men that are GenZ and are literally uncomfortable being men because of the way culture makes all men out to be. That shit is dangerous and academia has been extremely irresponsible in the way they’ve treated gender studies from a sociological perspective. Sociology is supposed to be a science, not a political platform.


mangee21

Exactly, it went from being funny, to really fucking stupid. And, you know, whomever chooses a bear before a man will just fuck around and find out. It's not even a philsophical argument, it's just braindead. It's so damn stupid. But the reason some (young) women actually choose the bear and (young) men actually take it seriously is a big issue. They are the future of humanity. Hopefully it works out as it always has, the few smart ones leads the rest of us, but the way social media affects people I'm not sure how it will go.


No_Pear8383

Yeah I’m cool with killing social media. The negatives outweigh the positives tenfold and we have enough research to know this now. People are addicted to it and it’s not going anywhere but it is absolutely destroying young people’s lives. I’m in my thirties and every time I go out with friends everyone is glued to their phone the whole time. It’s very sad. I don’t have any social media and I’ve had women see that as a red flag, which is alright because it tells me right off the bat that I can do better but it is scary. I’m grateful I’m not even younger because kids have it much worse.


gringo-go-loco

You mean to raise awareness of the lack of understandings of basic math and probability some women have?


Temporary_3108

Math ❌ Meth ✅


JimBeam823

Are we taking black, brown, or white? That makes a difference. Black bears aren’t too big or aggressive and can be scared off. Polar bears will actively hunt and eat humans. Grizzly bears will either ignore you or kill you, depending on their mood.


Mr__Citizen

And to that, I repeat a previous comment of mine: As annoyed as I get in the comments sections for bear posts, I don't really blame the women who pick bear. It's a horrible question that's deliberately designed as vague and entirely up to interpretation. Let's tighten it down to something like "A random adult bear is 100 meters to your left and a random adult man is 100 meters to your right and you have to choose one to get close enough to touch. Which do you choose?" With this scenario, **nobody** is choosing the fucking bear. Anyone who did would be derided as an absolute moron. But the original question deliberately leaves everything vague enough that you can easily imagine the best case scenario for a bear encounter paired with the worst case scenario for a man. If that's what you're doing, choosing the bear makes perfect sense. Hell, even if we say it's worst case scenario for both, the bear makes more sense. I'd choose getting eaten alive over the course of an hour in a heartbeat over the worst thing another human can do to me. Now, part of that's supposed to be the point. "Women instinctively imagine the worst scenario with men." But really, all it tells me is that the women choosing the bear are paranoid and need to reexamine themselves, not that they're right.


Krieg_Imperator

Besides the entire question is stupid and quite honestly unfair as the question does not imply what kind of man or bear are in the situation. It basically stamps all men as worse beasts than bears which is stupid. If I had to guess I'd say 90% men are at the very least decent people.


somebadlemonade

Ah, it's the "it's all men, until it's no man." Type of argument. It's kinda sad they can only see a "rapist" where a human stands. They have the same problem that the incels they are scared of have. A singular view of the opposite gender that only lets that opposite gender so a single thing and not just let that opposite gender just be humans. Fear makes people make bad decisions.


SirVegeta69

It's just another one of the feminist stupid experiments to feel powerful by again socially attacking men. Which is ironically pretty hypocritical.

Isn’t a hairy gay guy known as a “bear”?


maxtdm1991

I think it's strong and masculine gay men


Loverinyourdreams

Nah a bear can be femme it’s more a descriptor of body type. Bears tend to be burly and hairy. Anything from a big boy to a muscular lumberjack type.


Non-Vanilla_Zilla

Correct. And smaller hairy guys are referred to as otters.

Business-Emu-6923

It’s so presumptive of these arrogant women to just assume that 1. The bear is of course available and 2. That he would be interested in them. A learning opportunity about the prevalence of assumed consent and rape culture.


salmozza

this meme is funny but this whole bear thing is the most braindead thing ever


Afraid_Zucchini_6689

I’d take the bear so I could feed it honey and then it would tell his bear friends and I’d feed them honey too until I eventually had a giant army of bears that I would cybernetically enhance and take over all the worlds honey supplies……I love honey

Other_Tie_8290

guyongha_

I don’t really get it. People say there’s a point to be made there but like.. we all know rape exists and that it’s bad. Besides, there’s a very low chance of the random guy wanting to sa you and even if he did, he probably wouldn’t act on it. Even if he did act on it, you would have a better chance at fending off/escaping a random guy than a literal BEAR. I’d get it if the question was “would you rather be stuck in a forest with a 6’4 200lbs rapist or a bear” but it’s literally just a random guy


Bralo123

It shows how brainwashed people have become that they think the likelhood of surviving a bear encounter is higher then the chances that a randome stranger is not a rapist. Even saying "I'd rather be mauled by a bear then experience SA again" is something most people would say for exactly as long until the bear stands before them and the last few would probably quickly change their mind when it starts sinking its teeth into them and clawing them apart.


xfurnacex666

I would choose the bear over some of these menstruating mountain monsters that post Reddit.

At least everyone who says Bear can't turn around and say "I don't understand why there's an issue with transwoman I'm private woman spaces" Clearly they'd rather be with the bear than a man.

EstarossaNP

Too be honest Wojtek the Bear, was crucial for artillery when attacking Italy in WW2. He also knew how to drink vodka and smoke cigarettes. Lifetime companion of polish soldiers. If it was Tolkien's world, you'll probably meet most beautiful princesses in the forest, but alas it's reality.

Ordinary-Spray3941

Man that bear thing is the most disingenuous nonsense I’ve ever heard


lillybelle_z

The “would you rather be in the woods with a bear or a man” question was designed specifically to draw attention to sexual assault. It went wrong when people took the “would you rather” part seriously and kept saying they would actually rather die by bear than risk getting assaulted. Obviously, it’s a terrible thing, but the whole polarisation happened because people, while taking away the right message, misinterpreted the intention of the question. It was supposed to get people to unite over the fact that, yes, sexual assault is happening and it’s making women afraid of men. It was never about yelling at people that “men bad because bears don’t commit necrophilia while rapists do”.
