Imagine how much higher your fear woukd even be if every vehicle passing grabbing you to kidnap or assault (not just violence).
Well, that doesn't happen and women know that virtually no vehicle is going to kidnap them. If leftist women are that afraid of random male strangers, then imagine if those male strangers were black.
You have no idea what it is like as a a woman because in that regard you have male privilege.
Your religion supports male privilege (
1 Timothy 2:12). This is Catholics; they can't think for themselves. On one hand, a woman says that a bear is not as scary as a strange man, the Catholic sheep are seduced by her soft and timid voice (as if those features are relevant). Then the bible says the main reason why misogyny gets justified in the western world, and because it's a voice in their head resembling a Monty python style god, the Catholics automatically assume that's true as well.
You people will believe anything if it's said with an acceptable tone in your head.
Is male privilege real? I could see times when men have it easier and harder than women. Men don't deal with 9 months of pregnancy, but they also can't make a living off of selling pictures of their feet and butthole on the internet without the fear of it ruining your life because even 85 year old women can do this and nobody will know it's them.
To be a good man, you need a 6 figure income. To be a good woman, you need makeup. This is why men can be arrogant and women can't.
What you are doing it saying assume good intentions from the man and worst from the bear.
I assume neutral intentions from the man and deadly intentions from the bear. A woman sees a strange man; the man might be hiking. He might have a wife; he might have kids. Even if neither are true, he will probably say something like, "Hello. Enjoying the hike?" and be on his merry way.
If a woman sees a bear in the woods, then the bear is getting maced. If she maces a strange man who is just hiking, then she should get prosecuted.
Men's feelings and women's feelings don't matter because they can vote. A child's feelings can matter; but that's why we don't let children vote.
