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.
You're viewing a single thread.
imo 60% of this discourse could be resolved if it was specified just what type of bear we're talking about.
Black bear? Panda? Sun bear? basically big herbivores who are no more threatening than a cow or a large sheep. Black bear might try some bullshit but they weigh about as much as a heavier human anyway, very unlikely to hurt you
Grizzly? Polar bear? yeah you're dead
American tourists went for a walk in the Russian forest. As luck would have it, they encountered a bear. Screaming, panic, they run away. The bear is behind them.
Nearby, in a clearing, a group of Russians is feasting. A blanket, vodka, a snack, bottles are cooling in the stream. Full culture, they don't bother anyone.
Suddenly, a screaming mob bursts into the clearing and runs through the middle of the picnic. Blanket trampled on, vodka spilled - big deal! So the Russians chase the intruders and beat the crap out of everyone.
Already a little calmed down, they return to the place of the event. One remarks in passing: "The one in the fur coat fought quite well"Gay bear.
Gay bear just wants to give you a big hug
We also don't know what type of man we're talking about. Or the distance you encounter them, or whether you're lost in the woods or on a trail. There's a lot of ambiguity in the question in general.
Which is the point. Respect to the fellow autistics in this community, but the point is not whether you could fight off a bear, the point is that the motivations of men can lead to far worse than solely animal instincts

Honestly the folk who miss this point of the Bear Discourse™ are red-flagging enough to justify avoiding them
Depends on the situation. Now that its a meme everyone is delivering it differently and its like a game of telephone. My wife asked and I wasnt given context and she butchered it so I was just excited about doing a "would you rather" question so I started asking about where and what bears and what kind of man. Obviously after I found the context the point is clear if youre not a chud but I just thought we were having an old fashioned bear convo.
