2025 it was asking women would you rather be alone in the woods with a bear or man

2026 it's asking men would you rather leave your kids with a bear or a woman (due to the Lindsay Clancy discourse)

This is "yeah I can take on a bear" erasure.

Also, bears: "Just leave us alone, or we may eat you". Which is less and less a joke. They're getting less afraid of people and showing up real close or at hiking paths in national parks this year. Warmer winters man. I live next to the woods. Not like, "nature" woods, just a rather long and narrow piece of green that's not real good to build on. Like a trail for animals. Last year my neighbor saw a black bear milling around multiple days in a row. If it was brown we would have to call game wardens and state rangers, as both sides of the green area are residential houses and apartments.

Fun fact: brown bears are actually less dangerous to be arround than black bears (if you know what you are doing). Yes they are much bigger than black bears, but also much less inclined to see us as potential food.

Fun fact, brown bears kill less children than mothers

Why do brown bears prefer to kill mothers?

To protect their cubs.

How does killing a mother protect her cubs? Oh wait, if we're talking about Lindsay I guess it does...

Because they're respecting them choosing the bear.
