Lot of guys are perplexed by this.
It's ironically funny. Lot of giys have been hounding feminists with our "PR problem" in discussing toxic masculinity without realizing that toxic masculinity itself is men's PR problem.
That THIS is the result of that unrelenting propaganda campaign. Grifters have turned dating and courtship into predatory games to the point where, given a choice, women will immediately choose being alone with an unknown wild animal than with an unknown man.
Because the bear doesn't look at you as prey. The bear doesn't get it's jollies from harassing and pestering you. You're not gonna have to suss out ehatever game the bear might be trying to play. And so forth and so on. All the things. All valid. All reasonable.
This hypothetical....it's like men are meeting themselves through the eyes of women and a lot of them are not liking what they see.
My favorites are young moms asking their husbands if they'd rather their daughter be alone in the woods with a bear or a man.
All the dads are also saying bear. I've only seen one that said man and that was with caveats. And he sat and thought about it for a hot minute.
Common remarks on those are:
"I don't trust no strange man with my little girl!"
and....
"the bear might adopt her and take care of her. Keep her safe."
Even men know that for any woman/girl, the bear is safer, more predictable, less likely to harm you option than an unknown man in a situation where he could do anything he wanted with zero consequences.
The other thing I find interesting is that men are looking at this from their own place of legit visceral fear. Bears are one of the few animals that men do fear and a big part of that is how they've been portrayed in media and clips of actual maulings, and "I survived" accounts, and things like that. What those things often don't highlight enough is that the attacks that are sensationalized were usually down to thr man doing something stupid. Like, thrure bringinf up that guy in Alaska who got himself, his girlfriend, and two (?) bears killed due to him having "to man". He provoked the attack that got him and his girlfriend killed. And there's yet another lesson in there for women on men and trust. It's not one that makes men look like a better option over a bear, even though she did get mauled to death by a bear. Everyone who actually lives in bear country is saying the same.
So these guys are coming to the realization that the way they have this fear and awareness of what a bear could do to them that makes the back of their necks tingle in threat alert is how women see men after PUA, redpill, and man culture in general.
Just like feminists have been warning with talks of "toxic masculinity"
Congratulations gentlemen. You've run a VERY successful PR campaign. I hope you are enjoying the fruits of your labors.
If anyone needs me, I'll be out with the coyotes. Also a safer and saner option. I do miss bears though.
