This is a myth that keeps a lot of women out of remote and forestry jobs. To this day older men still warn me about bears when I'm hiking and camping. It's based in assumptions, not facts, like a lot of comments in here.

I say this as a woman who's waved at bears during my seven forestry contracts.

In my case, it was just a dumb reference to the movie Anchorman. I didn't realize anyone actually believed it.

I did not realize that was a quote. And well, gestures at the rest of the comments and world.

I'm stunned that people actually believe it, truly. Also, I'm not saying it's high art, but you really haven't seen Anchorman!? I feel like that movie was utterly unavoidable for awhile.

I'm right there with you, I just assumed you were making an Anchorman reference/joke... I never thought there were people out there who would unironically say that

I don't remember every line of every film I've ever seen, no.
