I'm not mansplaining bear behavior: I'm calling out misandry.

If a man made a "thought experiment" about "Which is worse, a woman or a bear?" and then gave comparable examples of what a bear won't do compared to what a woman might do, it would be rightly called misogynistic. The same principla applies here.

You are also NOT correctly addressing the thought experiment. It was not "being in the woods" it was:

"Five women came to my home, and all six of us decided that if we had a choice of being trapped with a man or a bear, we would go for the bear."

[my emphasis]

I addressed ALL of that in my comments. I also specifically pointed out - in the comment you replied to(!): "If you are somewhere in the woods, and a bear is somewhere (possibly shitting) in the woods, then definitely the bear is the better choice. If you are in a 200 ft² cabin, I think you'd be a fool to choose the bear."

So you are incorrectly framing the original post AND ignoring directly my response to the original post.

You are "womansplaining" to me that I'm "mansplaining." I'm not having it.
