Are you sure? How many bear caves have you been in? They might all have fiber at this point.

What do you think will happen if you tell the bear you arnt comfortable with being attacked

Cool. But I really think your reasons are complete bullshit.

Like take your last paragraph, you actually think that because some men don’t listen to reasonable arguments you would rather be with a violent and wild animal that is physically incapable of listening to reason?

Seriously you’re either actually insane or you’re just bullshiting to try and prove a point that you’ve already committed to without actually thinking it through.

i would certainly be more perplexed by a human just existing out there, a bear being out there would definitely make a lot of sense, i suppose it matters if either one of them has spotted me.

If neither spots me it doesn’t matter. If one spots me, who’s to fucking say what happens. Could be your local mountain man out there just vibin on his own time, could be your local serial killer up to some shit, who knows!

I was merely replying to the other person who seemed to be arguing in bad faith.

I don’t really have much interest the online gender debate. From the few tidbits I’ve seen, it’s not a healthy debate and it doesn’t align with anything I’ve seen in real life in Norway.

You yourself have completely ignored the argument you’re responding to in order to chastise about arguing with a bad take.

It’s looping upon itself and it all starts with one bad take. Maybe you can accept bad faith arguments are bad and move on?

“I don’t feel comfortable being alone at night in the ghetto” = reasonable statement

“I don’t feel comfortable around black people” = being over the top to make a point.

It’s not okay and she should be shunned for saying such things.

It’s too big of a group to generalise. Your seemingly utter lack of understanding will only help drive the wedge between the genders even further.

It’s genuinely sad to see how annoyed and bitter some of my older male relatives have become due to people like you acting as if only 1 gender matter. Back in the days they would have called themselves feminists, but now their perception is that that group hates them instead.

The issue with your example is that black men are not in a position of power in society

Power by demographic association is bullshit. Cletus in the trailer park does not wield societal power because a majority of members of Congress are the same color and sex as he is, because they don’t work to protect his sex or color - they work to protect their own economic class and that of their donors/owners.

The trick is that you can’t take each demographic axis and declare that there is a hierarchy there where one group is the “oppressor” and thus has power over all members of the other groups who are deemed the “oppressed”. And usually the whole point of doing so is to try to fit it into a model of Marxist class conflict, which is only really a passable model for economic class (and accordingly only works for other demographic axis to the degree that they correlate with economic class). There are lots of areas where reality violates the fuck out of said hierarchies, and it leads to either attempts to excuse it or bullshit around it that I like to liken to the epicycles and deferents once used to shoehorn geocentric models of the solar system back into line with observations.

, while men (as a whole) are the dominant gender in society.

Hell, look at criminal justice - for nearly every measure where the system appears to favor white over blacks and you would probably call it racist, it also appears to favor women over men (usually to a similar or larger degree) but you would likely not call it sexist because that violates the hierarchy by putting women over men.

Education is similar, there are studies suggesting that teachers preferentially grade in favor of girls (specifically showing that girls get better grades for similar work but that difference vanishes in standardized testing where the grader cannot consider the sex of the student). Girls outnumber boys in both entering higher education and getting degrees, and have since something like the early 80s - yet we still maintain preferential scholarships and recruitment opportunities for women as opposed to men - usually by just deciding the only fields worth worrying about are the few that remain male dominated.

I’m in a piss-filled trench! The wealthy have the power! Though I am stronger than the average woman, which I acknowledge is a useful trait. Especially for digging trenches with piss seeping into them. Now that’s wielding social power.

By what metrics do men dominate society?

I dk, did it have any cocaine or do I have food on me?

Though that would also apply to a human.

Having something stolen from you most likely isn’t going to leave you scarred for life.

Okay change it to mugged or beaten then? You know the point I’m making and purposely focusing on minor details instead of that actual point doesn’t make your case any stronger.

and have never been, an oppressed group

I’m not claiming they are. If you’re going to argue with me, then please argue against what I’m actually saying, nit whatever strawman you need to construct.

Women who say “I’m scared of men” say that because they most likely have had negative experiences with them and understand that they are physically weaker than them.

Imma trust you’re an intelligent person and let you work out what’s wrong with this one yourself.

so you believe racism is/can be justified?
