I think it’s a tiktok meme. Someone somewhere brought up the question of “say you’re stranded in the woods. Would you rather encounter a random man or a bear?” Most men say the man, obviously. Most women have to think about it. A lot of men are offended by the idea that a woman might be roughly as afraid of random men as she is random bears, and a lot of those guys are in women’s DMs making real good cases for the bear.

I think you need to change the question a little bit to get it through thick male skulls. Instead of just a random man, imagine it’s a random man who’s likely to be at least 10% larger than you, has been taking testosterone supplements, and wants to have sex with you. The bear seems a little bit more reasonable at that point.
