You’ll be cut loose before too long.

Surely you meant sweet potato pie! Apples don’t really grow down here.

But yeah, the southern heritage one should want to claim ought to be more about shrimp and grits and less about confederates and slavers. Those traitors are history, but no decent person would claim that hateful shit as their damn heritage. Unfortunately, we ain’t about to run outta folks lacking decency anytime soon.

Right, women just feel like they’ve been molested, raped, murdered. But a man probably definitely shit his pants when he saw a bear somewhere! Those shit-smeared drawers are just the sort of fact my stupid girl feelings could never compete with.

It ain’t about his feelings, it’s about her safety.

All these women, wtf? Maybe they don’t hate men they just hate you? I love my husband, all the time.

Too far… but too damn late.

I just want to say that I feel like most people in this this thread have never been raped by a man. I have and I just have to ask, did this bear molest you in any way? Lay a paw on you? Stalk you? Kill you? Rob you? Threaten you? Fire you? Beat you up? Talk shit about you to the other bears?

Like what in hell is this little story, guy? You saw a bear, you’re a fucking coward, the end. Oh wait… and some TV show - bears are bad, m’kay?

Like “Listen hear ladies, there’s a bunch a dipshits who went and got themselves scared by bears, including me! You should also be afraid” (Oh, we are). My man, even men (and boys) are molested, raped, murdered, or just disappeared, like we’ll likely never know what happened to them… at rates that bears just don’t even give a shit about because they’re fucking bears and they really aint about just killing and mutilating a mother fucker (or a mother) like a man actually is, right now, probably not to far from you.

Why did you capitalize KNOW when referring to how dangerous men are? And mention how obvious it should be for one to be cautious around them? As if they’re some sort of wildly unpredictable animal (unlike a bear, a fairly predictable wild animal). And why do you seem to be on the one hand so fucking irritated that anyone else acknowledge that same fact and on the other so damned pissed that you had to point it out?

By the way, I do know a woman who was shot, in the god damned head. And she lived! You may be surprised to learn her husband wasn’t a bear.

If I’d ever been shot in the head I can only assume it wasn’t a damn bear that did it. But sure. I should piss my pants at the sight of a wild animal. And pay no nevermind to the actually dangerous creature.

Like the bears ain’t scary around here, but we do see alligators often. Still less scary than a random man in the dark when you’re alone.

My husband calls in the middle of this and I told him I usually don’t see these sort of shit takes here and then I remember I’d been browsing ALL, for crying out loud. Go to see what fucking community it was… and it’s memes! My bad even commenting here probably, but complaining that memes don’t adequately capture the whole picture and may not be the best way to address the issue seems a little… I dunno but something - here in the literal meme community.

Y’all ain’t being thrown under the bus. My husband gets it. He is also an ally to women. But y’all ain’t there “standing up in solidarity with women” when we are being molested, raped, or murdered. These things happen to women ALL THE GODDAMNED TIME. You weren’t there in solidarity with me any of the times when I was actually harmed, but when I have something to say about how scary men can actually be, you are here to stand against me. Or at best, get me to think of your feelings instead of my own safety.

I would also prefer guys who are not rapists to stand up in solidarity with women against the rapists, instead of being thrown under the bus with the rest of the women that make men feel uncomfortable by reminding them of the things that actually happen in women’s lives.

Be a useless coward if you want. Spend your time being scared of something that is more scared of you than most people are of it (not you, tho).

I live in Georgia. There’s bears here that ain’t scary, and I can say that about all of them (seeing as cocaine bear is dead). I can NOT say they same thing about all the men I could run into in the woods at night in Georgia.

But sure, tell me again how ackshually the thing I should really be scared of is bears… ooh, and how about tigers? They’re really scary, right?

Why, did you know that when they are really little, like just newborn, men can’t even walk or hold a gun? Did you also know that most men don’t ever murder their partners? Doesn’t that seem safe? Surely more women are harmed by bears (and probably tigers, too) than little old men!

Okay, but how often do Englishmen stalk or molest French people? How many Democrats have raped and killed a Republican?

Now the one re: communists and Nazis is actually close to being on point.

The point isn’t the bear, it’s the actual (like in the actual lives they’ve lived) dangerous and scary entity to the person being asked the question. I have been molested, I have been raped, I have never been scared of a damn bear.
