    This is terrible logic to go by.

    If you generalise half the population and insult them then of course people are going to be mad at you.

    This is like some boomer saying “All feminists are easily offended lesbians that just like to shout out people”

    Then smugly being like “haha you proved my point” when a femininst rightly takes issue with that statement.

      This is also an indicator of the world’s best insult as per the comic Basic Instructions:

      “I find you argumentative and easily offended.”

      Basically no one is allowed to respond to it.

      As a random man I don’t feel insulted by this at all. I would also rather be in the woods with a random bear than a random man. The bear is more predictable in preferring to have nothing to do with me.

          I literally expanded on my reasons in the other reply.

          There are literally a bunch of posts from other people explaining their reasons for preferring random bear as well.

          The fact that a random man can be told multiple times “I don’t know you well enough to be comfortable with this,” with explanations, and they will still respond with “there’s no way you actually mean the words you are saying” is a big contributing factor.

              It’s very possible to communicate to a bear that you aren’t threatening them and that you aren’t prey or worth attacking. I recommend looking up “what to do if you encounter a bear in the woods.”

              It seems to be very difficult to communicate to you that I would be uncomfortable encountering you alone in the woods.

              So yes, the bear is probably a better listener.

            Cool. But I really think your reasons are complete bullshit.

            Like take your last paragraph, you actually think that because some men don’t listen to reasonable arguments you would rather be with a violent and wild animal that is physically incapable of listening to reason?

            Seriously you’re either actually insane or you’re just bullshiting to try and prove a point that you’ve already committed to without actually thinking it through.
