@wagesj45 imo the right answer is “bear, because bears are more predictable”.
if you’re talking about a strange man, that means you don’t know them, so you have to assume the worst (at least that’s the smart move), and humans are far less predictable than bears. we know how a bear will respond, and how to stay safe around them, whereas strange people is a different story, anything could happen.
fwiw i say this as (a) a parent of girls and (b) a backpacker with 5-6 bear encounters
@kellogh That's a technical answer if the question is man vs. "person". But it is glaringly obvious this is meant as a dig toward men specifically. Especially if you see any of the more militant responses.
We wouldn't accept something like this targeting women. Or black people. It's obvious likening a black person to a dangerous animal like this is wrong. It should be equally obvious how harmful and hurtful it is for men, too.
