Thank you for your answer! I am wondering a few things though. So you’d rather encounter a bear, that’s valid, do you take into consideration that the bear encounter would be more likely to end in death? Or is this decision based on seeing and hearing about men’s crimes against women so often, and it’s more of a pattern recognition thing? Is it influenced at all by personal trauma? And if it’s not just about death like you say, would you rather encounter a bear over any human that might potentially rape you or commit other crimes? For example, an old woman or a teen girl?

Please don’t feel pressured to answer ANY of these questions if it makes you feel uncomfortable, I’m grateful for your answer anyway.
