Is a woman safer in the woods with a bear or a man? The answers to that hypothetical question have exploded into a contentious discourse online about women's safety, their real-life experiences with men and — somehow — the dangers of bears. The question, which seems to have originated on TikTok, has ignited a raging debate there and across the internet for days now.
Typical outraged responses have ranged from outright misogyny to listing statistics on bear attacks. But ultimately, whether anyone would genuinely rather come face-to-face with another human being or a predator animal that may or may not be hungry enough to maul them is a bit beside the point. This “man vs. bear” discourse is not so much about the true threat of bears as it is about the dangers that women experience in the world, where they live among human men.
