Women in Singapore share their thoughts on whether they'd rather encounter a male stranger or wild animal when stuck in the forest. Would you rather be trapped in the woods with a male stranger or a bear? That’s the hypothetical question women are being presented with in one TikTok trend.A BEAR – A SAFER CHOICE THAN A MALE STRANGER
Said the 28-year-old assistant editor: “A man can cause psychological trauma, assault and abuse emotionally, sexually or physically, plus so much more. These traumas don’t heal as easily as physical or superficial wounds. Michelle Chan said it would be more difficult to escape from the psychological, physical and social implications of encountering a strange man versus a bear.
Conversely, some women in Singapore opted for the man, preferring the company of another human in the forest and deeming it a more practical choice for survival. “Plus if the man ends up being decent, even if he doesn’t have adequate skills to survive the wild, I believe two human minds could increase the chances of making it out alive together.”
“I can befriend and communicate with a man – he can take care of himself, we can think of ways to work together to get out of the forest or find ways to make the situation better,” the 33-year-old said. “Social media trends, especially on short-form platforms like TikTok, tend to oversimplify complex issues to make a point,” she said.
