So, youre choosing the bear, right?

It all has to do with a simple choice: Are you choosing the bear or the man?

Would you rather encounter a bear or a man?

Wait, I need more.

Whats the background here?

The question isnt getting people talking because its a silly question, but rather the opposite.

For women, the answer is a no-brainer.

A strange man is undeniably a threat.

Its literally the plot of every other thriller novel and happens on countless episodes ofDatelineorCSI.

The truth is that men do women harm, every day.

This is something ingrained in us from birth.

Of course we choose the bear!

A bear attack is scary but ultimately feels remote.

But as one TikToker named Shawnda put it in a video, this angers men for some reason.

You dont know that?

What does the internet think?

Its a whole debate.

Theres a lot of upset men on this app, everyone (hey pray 4 them).

Some are joking, saying, Yall havent watched enough nature documentaries.

But as many, many women have pointed out, thats not really the point.

Maybe the dudes yelling about this should…unpack that!

Namely, that so many men just dont get it, still!

Thats also why women cant stop talking about it.

What should I tell my friends about this?

If they are a woman, Im pretty sure they will choose the bear.
