The survey said "man or bear". Not "rapist or bear". So yes, this is absolutely targeting men as a whole. Don't piss in my mouth and call it lemonade.
All that has been reported, yes. It is a common occurrence for men to not report being sexually assaulted, and there have been cases where they were literally turned away. I'm by no means an extrovert, and I know at least 3 men who were sexually assaulted by WOMEN as children and it never resulted in any form of justice. One of them was laughed at when they told a trusted adult.
Assuming unwanted sexual attention includes any form of unwanted sexual advances, unwanted sexual attention is NOT equivalent to rape and you are doing rape victims a massive disservice by trying to lump them into the same issue.
That's awful convenient
None of this changes the fact that they would trust a wild animal as powerful as a bear to over a fellow human being they know nothing about. It's sexism. Naked sexism. You can try to justify and twist it, but it's sexism all the same. I apply my principles evenly. Do you?
My dude, almost every woman I know has been assaulted.
No, I mean things like sexual harassment.
No, it was intentional. I didn't want to live in cities anymore. I live in Appalachia now. Moved here from Chicago; i'd def. rather deal with bears than CPD.
