I don't agree that this kind of article is useful overall, but I propose rewriting the question a little bit to understand the response better:

"Humans, would you rather be stuck in the woods with a strange human that was most likely physically bigger and stronger than you or with a strange bear that was most likely physically stronger than you?"

The original question plays with subconscious bias and fears a little too much relating to men, and doesn't address the true nature of humans in general.

If the question was instead:

"Humans, would you rather be stuck in the woods with a strange human or a strange bear"

My answer would still be a bear. I believe I could take care of myself for a few days and don't want some other person there that I have to discussions with, compromise with, help survive or be scared of. Humans are too fucking random.

Bears are a simpler problem with easy to figure out motivation.

Humans are complicated with the capacity for evil and a willingness to lie. If I'm cornered in the woods with a bear I know what my options are. Humans, not so much.
