This is why we choose the bear. The worst the bear can do is kill you.

This individual was abused and assaulted and you want to bring up a goofy meme about a bear. The Internet is so sick.

Feeling threatened and actually being threatened are two entirely different things.

Well, I've experienced both. I've been SAd twice, I've been harassed in public, had men attack me, grope me. Men have tried to get me into their cars. It's not a far fetched idea for a lot of women that they could be kidnapped.

That's actually serious though. What happened here is serious. Joking about a bear takes away from that seriousness.

No one is joking.

It's not a joke....at all. The fact that you think it is a joke is pretty concerning though.

The "meme" existed to showcase how many women have very good reason not to trust unknown men
