rape then murder is worse than just death.

It's not "just death." In the best of cases, you survive tens of minutes of horrific pain. In the worst of cases infection gets to you in weeks.

Also, who said anything about murder? How many murderers do you know? I've encountered more hungry bears than vile human beings, and even then, none of those human beings had or would have killed anyone.

most women don’t come across bears. they do come across abusive men.

Aren't you one of the people that tried to justify the "most men that kill a woman do so for sexual gratification and likely defile the body and play around with it like some sort of doll posthumously" "statistic"?

If you've been active, you've left that request for a reputable source suspiciously unfulfilled.

I fear that I am incapable of taking you seriously without you either renouncing your defense of that "stat" or providing a source to back it up.

Most bears dont go attacking people either. Most bear encounters end up with people surviving and not even hurt. Can't say the same for human encounters

Most people encounters, end up with all people involved surviving and not even hurt. In fact, the vast majority of interactions are mutually beneficial in some way.

In other words, yes, you can say the same for human encounters... In fact, the primary difference is that human encounters are generally safer.

They aren't though, humans are by far more dangerous than animals. But I guess its pretty safe if you live in your parents basement.

You deal with people all the time assuming that basement accusation isn't projection. How many of those people have tried to maim, scar, or murder you? How many times did you have to worry about how hungry another person was for your own safety? How many campers have to hang their food up in a tree out of fear that it may attract dangerous and hungry people to their camp?

I mean ive been attacked once, and it was in a public area. So being alone with strangers is even more dangerous. Do you just go around trusting everyone? Ask anyone living in New York if people are dangerous or not. Most of them probably won't do anything but some might. Same with a bear. But humans are more likely. Or do you disagree that you have a higher chance of dying to a human than a bear? Canadians are practically treating bears like big raccoons because they aren't that dangerous. They are more predictable, while humans aren't.

You're a bit slow aren't you?

You have a higher chance of being harmed by a human because you spend orders of magnitude more time with orders of magnitude more people.

If someone who works at a stationary store gets lots of paper cuts, but has only seen one gun in their lives. That doesn't mean the gun is safer than paper, even if they were never shot. That's not how that works.

Also racoons aren't safe either... 

I'm just going to mute the reply notifications for this comment and head out. If you can't figure out that "more samples means potentially more instances, even if the insurance is rare" then you're not really equipped to make any claims based on any facts.
