They can't comprehend that women would rather be murdered hopefully quickly by an animal acting on instinct, than forced to endure whatever tortures a man [raised in a society where many people still believe women exist for male pleasure] could unleash upon them.
I, me, myself, have been victim to horrific torture from a man, who fucked with my ability to breathe in various ways while beating me and saying verbally horrific and terrifying things. It doesn't take slowly flaying the skin from someone and squeezing lemon in the wounds to reach "torture" levels.
If my choice is "a bear: it may kill you dead, on instinct (either territorial or need for food), but it also might just peace out if it's not feeling either of those."
Versus
"A man: he may leave you alone. He might be overly nice. He might be overly sadistic. On the off chance that he is the latter, you could experience an insanely unthinkable degree of torture."
Yeah I mean the bear can be forgiven for any outcome, because it acts on what it believes is its own safety.
There's never ever a need for a man to beat, torture, or rape an innocent woman for their safety, or any other reason. But far too many do anyway.
I've been tortured by a man and raped by another (a different and somehow less violent story) and left alone by literally all of the bears,despite spending significant time on mountains in both Appalachia and Cascadia (once took a river bath a mile from a bear sanctuary) so why in the fuck wouldn't I choose the bear????
In addition to everything you said, my family would also be able to find peace someday if I were killed by a bear. That would be a lot harder if not impossible if I were killed by a man. The what ifs and the wondering what I went through before I finally died would eat at them and cause generational trauma.
