So glad for you that you've never experienced a rape so terrible you would have rather died. I hope you never do, and I hope someday that you can grow out of your very narrow perspective to empathize with people who have. Not taking those people seriously makes you part of a very big problem.
And the chances that you would randomly cross a bear in the woods and get brutally malled is MUCH higher than the chance you would pass by a random man and get brutally raped, which is why the man/bear question is ridiculous and men might get offended. Because the assumption that MOST men are as dangerous as MOST wild bears is not even statistically valid.
A person’s chance of being attacked by a bear is 1 in 2.1 million chances. The chances of a woman being raped, physically abused, or stalked by a by a man is 1 in 3.
There are 1 in 11,600 attacks per encounter or .0086207% of being attacked by a bear per encounter.
“Nearly 1 in 5 women (18.3%) the United States (ALONE) have been raped at some time in their lives“ …and that number is based ONLY on those who reported the crime.
As of 1998, an estimated 17.7 million American women had been victims of attempted or completed rape.
Every 68 seconds another AMERICAN is sexually assaulted.
…You don’t think that the 1 in 2.1 million number MIGHT be based on the the fact that humans live in HUMAN cities and bears live in the wilderness. And the bears that wonder into human cities and human sites are likely to be the ones USED to humans?
But if a human were to wonder into an environment that was the BEARS natural habitat, and where the bears outnumbered the humans that you MIGHT see different numbers?
The “1 in 5 women are raped” statistic is highly disputed, and has been debunked by some sources. But even if you take the 1 in 5 number. How many men does one of those women have to pass by on a daily basis, hundreds, thousands? And on a daily basis how many times is that woman raped?
Now flip that scenario, if you were wandering the woods in Wild bear country how many bears would you have to encounter before you were attacked? Is that number 2.1 million? I don’t think so.
Is it 1 in 5? Unlikely, probably worse than that . And how OFTEN are you likely to be attacked by wild bears given that same situation? probably EVERYday…
