I choose the bear.

This is why women are so fucking tired.

Picture this: you’re walking alone in the woods and you come upon a man you don’t know. You’re alone. On a scale of one to ten, how terrified are you? Now imagine you’re walking alone in the woods and you come upon a bear.

Would you rather encounter a bear or a man while alone and unarmed in the woods?

This is the question women all over social media have been pondering for the last few days. Well, I shouldn’t say “pondering” because it’s not taking a whole lot of thought. An overwhelming majority of women think they would be safer in the presence of a 1200 pound omnivorous animal than a man. Actually, I’ve been down many a social media rabbit hole looking at this trend, from TikTok to Threads to X, and I can’t find one woman who says she’d rather encounter a man.

Then there’s the men who are being asked if they’d rather their daughter happen upon a bear or a man in the woods. Can you guess what they’re answering? Ding! Ding! Ding! Bear.

This is why women are so fucking tired. All the time.
