Man or bear? Hypothetical question sparks conversation about women's safety
Women explain why they would feel safer encountering a bear in the forest than a man they didn't know. the hypothetical has sparked a broader discussion about why women fear men..
If you were alone in the woods, would you rather encounter a bear or a man? Answers to that hypothetical question have sparked a debate about why the vast majority say they would feel more comfortable choosing a bear.
The topic has been hotly discussed for weeks as men and women chimed in with their thoughts all over social media.
Screenshot HQ , a TikTok account, started the conversation, asking a group of women whether they would rather run into a man they didn't know or a bear in the forest. Out of the seven women interviewed for the piece, only one picked a man.
"Bear. Man is scary," one of the women responds.
A number of women echoed the responses given in the original video, writing in the comments that they, too, would pick a bear over a man. The hypothetical has people split, with some expressing their sadness over the state of the world and others cracking jokes. Some men were flabbergasted.
Here's what we know.
A bear is the safer choice, no doubt about it, many say
There were a lot of responses, more than 65,000, under the original post. Many wrote that they understood why the women would choose a bear.
"No one’s gonna ask me if I led the bear on or give me a pamphlet on bear attack prevention tips," @celestiallystunning wrote.
@Brennduhh wrote: "When I die leave my body in the woods, the wolves will be gentler than any man."
"I know a bear's intentions," another woman wrote. "I don't know a man's intentions. no matter how nice they are."
Other TikTok users took it one step further, posing the hypothetical question to loved ones. Meredith Steele, who goes by @babiesofsteele , asked her husband last week whether he would rather have their daughter encounter a bear or a man in the woods. Her husband said he "didn't like either option" but said he was leaning toward the bear.
"Maybe it's a friendly bear," he says.
Diana, another TikTok user , asked her sister-in-law what she would choose and was left speechless.
"I asked her the question, you know, just for giggles. She was like, 'You know, I would rather it be a bear because if the bear attacks me, and I make it out of the woods, everybody’s gonna believe me and have sympathy for me," she said. "But if a man attacks me and I make it out, I’m gonna spend my whole life trying to get people to believe me and have sympathy for me.'"
Bear vs. man debate stirs the pot, woman and some men at odds
The hypothetical has caused some tension, with some women arguing that men will never truly understand what it's like to be a woman or the inherent dangers at play.
Social media users answered this question for themselves, producing memes, spoken word poetry and skits in the days and weeks since.
So, what would you choose?
