I don’t go on social media so I don’t really get it but I have seen memes here and there of women getting mauled by bears presented in a “heh, serves her right” kind of way.

So weird that dudes complain that they can’t get women when the message they put out there is they hate women and make images of them being brutally mauled.

EDIT: I did not expect to see people I trust minimise SA here. I’m disappointed, that’s something I expect from a random chud blowing in from another instance, not you guys. Most of you were extremely cool in your answers, but to the one or two that weren’t. Do fucking better.

well, first of all, i did say “random guy.” as in, a completely random draw of any guy out there. idk how the category of “hikers” self-selects for being more or less violent/unpredictable. but if it’s a totally random guy, from what I’ve personally experienced in my day-to-day life, 15% seems like a pretty reasonable number for “guys who might just snap and kill me for any or no reason”

Obviously not all guys in that category will snap and kill me for any or no reason, if they were that unstable they wouldn’t still be out there. But any of them could decide I’m the first at any time. I’ve had strangers try to kill me for imagined slights before. Only men, at that. Like just to be clear, because I’ve seen a little more discussion about this, my comment is not of the “well I choose bear only because bears are pretty safe to encounter” variety. If it’s a bear vs a random woman I choose the woman any day. No woman ever tried to murder me in broad daylight on busy streets for no reason.
