minus-squareBiptalinkfedilink12•edit-27 months ago Only a few hundred women have ever been mauled by bears. Don’t you think this is subject to sampling bias? How much time do women spend with bears versus men?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•7 months agoMy wife was recently in a forest with a random bear. The bear walked away. My mother and sister told a story of meeting a bear on a trail. The bear walked away. A large percentage of women I have met have a story about a problem with an aggressive man at some point.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•7 months agoYeah, but you’re contrasting 2 bear encounters with hundreds if not thousands of encounters with people. You encounter way more often men than bears and if you want to use the math argument you have to account for this.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•7 months agoYeah, that’s kind of the point. Bears tend to avoid women rather than hunt them down.
