If you assume there is a high chance that any man you meet is a rapist, then you’ll avoid men and eventually have so little interaction with men that you begin to believe they all de facto equate to this mental image of a monster.

No. Do you know any women? This is pure, unadulterated conjecture. How is it that like 4/5 women choose the bear, but also like 4/5 women have boyfriends? Your idea of how women think is simply incorrect.

The chance of any given man being a rapist doesn’t have to be that high to justify taking precautions. I’m going to assume you’re an American, and because I assume you’re American, I’m going to assume you drive a car. You wear a seatbelt every time you drive your car, even though you only have like a 4% chance of getting in an accident every year. It doesn’t mean you assume all cars are gonna crash, and it doesn’t make you afraid of cars. Of course this doesn’t fit in well with the bear question, but I hope it clarifies why women treating every man as if they might be a predator doesn’t mean they necessarily become terrified of men.
