First, please be respectful in the comments. I have no idea what the topic was, but apparently it caused a lot of divide. I prefer just the claims and facts, backed by citations, and let me draw my own conclusions. I can think for myself. 😅

I’m curious because it seemed to have happened about a year ago, and then there were concerns of Lemmy being a worse place for women than Reddit.

I don’t really see that now. Granted, I’m new, and maybe it’s the specific communities I subscribed to, but I haven’t really seen much women-hating in posts or comments. If anything, I’ve seen a bias towards liberal viewpoints (many of which I personally agree with, but sometimes the justifications use poor reasoning and almost comes off as a bad defense or covert sabotage).

I’m hoping Lemmy changed for the better in the past year, and I’m not about to be side slammed with some misogyny. 🙏🏼

    The vast majority of men are not bad. Your single bear encounter was probably in yosemite or something where a bear is a tourist attraction and is used to people.

    So your stance is that you would rather be eaten alive than raped?

        Yeah I understand this concept but it comes down to the simple fact that you have a substantially better chance making out alive being with a man rather than a bear.

        Would you rather in trapped in a room with a random man or a random bear?

        You and I both know that men are statistically less dangerous than bears so if you answer bear to this question it is just misandry.

        Edit: and I don’t care about how I come across because all that matters here is facts.

        And if you are suicidal that’s another thing I guess. Sometimes I wish a bear would eat me. Lol.
