“Always choose the bear” ??

[Anonymous]

I hate the whole man/bear thing. Yes, men suck, and I am concerned as the next woman about sexual assault, but if you google the manner in which bears actually kill and eat prey (not at all the same as big cats), I think most women would choose the man.

I think the point is that the bear is more likely to leave you alone (he/she is just living their life in the woods) than a man in the woods who is probably there to kill you.

The whole thing sounds like propaganda to keep women out of the woods and "in their place" in the workplace or home.

Apparently, the Herndon residents did not choose the bear. It was trapped by relocated. The men of Herndon freely walk the streets.

I always find it mind boggling when people who are online enough to be DCUM posters are somehow simultaneously clueless about broader internet pop culture. It's like they are selectively online instead of perpetually online. Who are you people?!?

I understand both contexts and still have no idea how it relates to timekeeping.

Judging by the sense of humor of people in my office, it means that people would choose the bear over having to deal with the training or the new timekeeping system.

Timothy Treadwell chose the bear.

Really depends on the bear.
Black bear? I choose the bear.
Grizzly? Not so fast.

There’s that rhyme:

If it’s black, fight back.
If it’s brown, lie down.
If it’s white?! Say goodnight.

Really racist.

The entire trope seems extremely misandrist.

The concept is that the worst thing a bear will do to you is kill you. Men keep women chained up in basements repeatedly raping and torturing them. Men are far more dangerous. It’s also easy to avoid all bears if you choose. You cannot say the same for dangerous men. You can assume all bears are dangerous, but if you dare do the same with men, the fragile little egos can’t handle it and call you names.

Now I know how my teenaged daughter feels when I try to engage on youth culture. Eye rolls for days. (I love it.)
