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.
Also bears can't type, which introduces a massive bias during data collection.
Nonsense.
Well they did say "smarter than the average". Technically true, but must have meant something like... ten standard deviations from the mean.
Are you sure? How many bear caves have you been in? They might all have fiber at this point.
I thought we were all dogs using the internet while out humans are at work.
Yall are dogs to right?
reminds me of this somethingawful ancient meme:
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.
"Noted."
“How you find me has nothing to do with the conservation. Anyway, conditioner is better.”
"I'm sorry you feel that way. I hope you get the therapy you need some day"
Can't a simple answer be: "You're wrong" ?
Worse than that even, as feminists are less than half the population and an ideology you choose to belong to, rather than a demographic you are born into.
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.
Theres literally no way you genuinely believe this right?
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.
What do you think will happen if you tell the bear you arnt comfortable with being attacked
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.
I havent read the article, but from the heading and the teaser of it it seems to be a personal opinion piece of what she would prefer and asking other women about it.
Where exactly does she actively insult all men?
The part about saying she would prefer being alone in the woods with an animal that would maul and eat her alive than being with [insert trait you were born with].
If you don't think it's insulting, switch out the word "men" with gay/jew/trans or any other group of people and ask if those people would feel insulted.
It's a statement that very likely would be removed by moderators and gotten you banned on certain instances on Lemmy if you did. I honestly don't believe you're asking that question in good faith.
I can't say that I blame her and I'm a guy. Besides, you know she's just being over the top to make a point. Take five seconds, look at what she's really saying and stop looking for reasons to be angry at her.
I was merely replying to the other person who seemed to be arguing in bad faith.
I don't really have much interest the online gender debate. From the few tidbits I've seen, it's not a healthy debate and it doesn't align with anything I've seen in real life in Norway.
You yourself have completely ignored the argument you're responding to in order to chastise about arguing with a bad take.
It's looping upon itself and it all starts with one bad take. Maybe you can accept bad faith arguments are bad and move on?
Okay, let's reframe this to be about a different specific group.
Let's say this woman wrote this exact same opinion piece, but instead of it being about men in general, it was about black men specifically.
And she is just saying that she would rather take her chances with a wild animal than be alone with a black man. Is that perfectly okay and not insulting/demanding to black men in your eyes?
But, I mean, are you acquainted with said bear?
Are you on terms with each other's intentions?
'Cause if you're in the woods with a stranger, there is a 50 percent chance you're going to have a bad time. Human or bear.
Stupid city folk. Comparing a BEAR with a honeybear...
A bear predictably would rather have nothing to do with me. If I treat a random bear with respect it will be more likely to treat me with respect than a random man.
I dk, did it have any cocaine or do I have food on me?
Though that would also apply to a human.
