The question, directed towards women, seems simple: Would you rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear?
When asked why they would pick the bear, women all give some iteration of the same answer: With a bear, they know what the dangers are.
A lot of detractors also seem to be misunderstanding the definition of a hypothetical question.
TikTok creator and anti-misogynist educator Call Me BK, who claims to have started the current man vs. bear debate, said he didn’t even consider the question to be hypothetical.
However, some positive comments have argued that the question isn’t meant to lambaste men or pick apart the potential danger of a bear encounter.
