Another day, another hypothetical scenario tearing people apart on social media. However, this cultural discourse has some sharp teeth.
The question, directed towards women, seems simple: Would you rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear?
While there’s no unanimous answer, a good number of women on TikTok, Instagram and X have made it clear they’d prefer the bear. This has sparked anger among some men online, but more than that, it has snowballed into a valuable discussion about violence against women and how danger doesn’t always take the shape of a wild animal on the prowl.
