Dare I ask what the man vs bear meme is all about and why it seems to be upsetting men so much? [CW: sexism]
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.
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.
Because its a shittily constructed analogy designed to insult men. You don't have to say "I'm so afraid of rape that I would rather meet a dangerous wild animal than the random Bob or Juan or Chen". You can just say "I'm afraid of rape".
If given the actual choice in real life and not in a hypothetical poll that has no consequence, the majority of women would pick a man because who tf would actually want to encounter a grizzly in the wild lmfao
