There was a video (or videos?) asking whether women would rather meet a bear while alone in the woods or a strange man and a lot of women in the video said the bear. The point was to illustrate how women feel unsafe around strange men because even if they don’t try to physically assault them, many of them expect sexual gratification as a transaction for helping them and get abusive when that doesn’t happen.
But then a bunch of people didn’t get it, and a few loud ones just hate women and turned it into a debate that it wasn’t ever meant to be.
