There’s a viral trend on TikTok that got started with a seemingly simple question: Would women rather run into a bear or a man in the woods?

Now people are discussing the fact that a lot of women have admitted to preferring the bear.

USA Today reports how this debate — simply referred to as “Man vs. Bear” — is said to have been started by TikTok account, Screenshot HQ, who posted a video of women being asked this question seemingly around the United Kingdom about a week or so ago.

By the end of the video, all the woman shown said they would definitely rather run into the bear, a sentiment echoed by many of the video’s comments, as well as other places online such as Reddit that picked up the conversation.

“A bear will attack me out of fear for its safety,” reads one netizen’s thoughts. “A man will attack me for their own pleasure and satisfaction. People would believe me more if a bear attacked me.”

People on the other side of the debate are baffled, especially considering that bears, no matter their species, according to WildFact, “are capable of incredibly amazing feats of strength and power that no human is capable of even replicating; even a small bear fits under this rule.”

But logic and analysis have no place in a left-wing “Let’s hate men” article.

"We don't trust men, so we choose bears."

"So then you understand why we don't men in the restroom our daughters."

There are no wild bears in the woods of the UK.

There have not been any for about 800 years.

For the meme:

I can see her point. You at least have a chance at reasoning with the bear.

"Reasoning with the bear, Exhibit A"

Good one! That’ll confuse the piercings right off of those lefty chicks. 😄

You have no chance of reasoning with a bear.
They do not understand human language.
Humans can may under stand reason, They also understand weapons.
Bears understand none of the above.

How about, if a woman is alone in a forest and she encounters both a man and a bear, which one will she run to for help?

[Codeflier]

Flagged! Too much logic!

Women are funny.

"Does it matter if it is a brown bear, or a black bear, or a polar bear?"

With a bear it doesn't make a difference.

If you're walking in New York, a brown, black, or polar "bear" will matter.

Leonardo DiCaprio wondering if he would rather run into a male or a female bear in the woods.

Kyle was "ogling" her at the gym. That's practically rape.

She may be right, most bears have the sense to run away.

[KC_Conspirator]

Of course they will never encounter a bear because they live in a cush society created by men.

Would like to call their bluff on that one.

Yeah sure. Pick the bear. Now let me see you go walk alone through Glacier Park or the Kamchatka Peninsula.
