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.

Yeah...honestly I'd also prefer the bear.

Bear would probably make a better blanket and dinner

I have received messages from angry men

Does she actually say how many? Two is "men"

Just curious how few she's basing her opinion of all men on.

I think the word is "misandry", no?

Two men is two more than the bears that wrote in, so it's a gamble that bears are less likely to cause her harm.

Anyhow, she doesn't generalize it to all men, so my brother why are you picking up a hat that doesn't suit you? That's sort of her goal, she's being inflammatory so that the angry responses can prove her right.

If she wants to go poke at bears in a forest, then god speed and I hope she takes a rifle. I'll stay home chilling and watching netflix.

So...if I say something deliberately misogynistic, and then say it's ok I only said it to prove I was right, that's ok?
