  • Calling bears predictable is something an overconfident documentary actor would do. A bear can at any moment decide to just rip you apart. Any “docile” zoo bear can still decide to just shred their keeper at some point.

    But that’s enough about the metaphor. The point was choosing between certain death and a human with all the possibilities that entails.

    It wouldn’t just be caution to choose death in that situation. It’s paranoia to assume that any random man will just do horrible things to you. Going through life with that paranoia is nothing a mentally healthy person would do. I would definitely blame a woman who really thinks like that. It’s not just crazy but also insulting on a personal level. But the good thing is that I don’t have to be near any like that either.


  • That is way more than just patriarchal society. If a woman would rather be stuck in a room with a bear than a man she doesn’t know, there’s something psychologically wrong with that woman.

    The only way you’d choose a bear over a stranger is if you have a prejudice that all men are violent or rapists. Because the bear will most likely kill you.




  • I find the “it just works” line ironic.

    Because that’s usually what Windows has going for it. Meanwhile any Linux distro I’ve tried so far has me search for how to install a specific thing and try 5 different results, because of course the command to copy&paste on the first few doesn’t work. Doesn’t help that most sites and people tell you to install software this way instead of using some software centre / app store where you just click on an install button.
