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.

Women: I feel unsafe

Neckbeards online: This is exactly why the suicide rate for men is so high! (Note: it’s not.)

Its upsetting men so much cause it means that they might actually have to acknowledge that there’s a problem.

black bears are just giant raccoons, they arent gonna bother you, and its fun to see them. grizzlies are generally avoidant of people, but i would be nervous of one. i literally do not ever want to see a polar bear near me in the wild, their whole thing is eating other large mammals. no thanks!

men make me nervous as fuck. black bears are chill

Where I’m from there is a “rule of thumb” with grizzlies. Hold your thumb at arms length and try yo cover the bear, if he’s still visible you are too close

i honestly dont know how men are getting so mad about the bear thing tbh. like how is your first thought when confronted with women expressing how unsafe rape culture makes them feel ‘but what about men’s feelings though’?/??

Joe definitively crushed MeToo four years ago and I don’t recall much discussion of rape culture since then. That almost certainly has something to do with this. It would have been a fairly normal part of discource in 2018 or 2019. But Joe had to be crowned, so MeToo had to go, and now we’ve got Weinstein skipping out of prison. So there’s been four years of relative media silence about rape culture and patriachy and we’ve circled back to “not all men” bullshit.
