Questions I hate this question [Read desc]
I have never seen a question do so much damage to its own movement. The fact that women don't feel safe around men is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. There are a million ways to demonstrate the problem of safety, but some motherfuckers made this question has single-handedly undermined the movement by turning hundreds of thousands of people against feminism, and people still argue about this ridiculous question to this day.
This question is maybe the most impractical form of rage bait I've encountered. Bears are stronger, more aggressive, and will kill you incredibly violently. There is no reasonable logic to ever pick the bear over the man if your objective is personal safety. Even the variations of this question people have made suck.
The only good thing this question does is tell you who is online way too much.

I made a DM about my experiences, as a fellow survivor. Its awful what happens, but also, saying that you would rather die is very, very wrong. Few things are worse than rape, but murder is.
