Panel 1 Man and woman in office clothes in a break room.

Man: So, if you were alone in a forest, would you rather run into a strange man… or a bear?

Panel 2 Woman: Oh, hmm… I think the bear.

Man (angry): How can you say that?

(Bear looking quizzically through the window)

Panel 3 Man (angry): You’re demonizing men! It’s misandry!

Panel 4 Woman: Good point. Why would I ever hear men’s reactions?

Man: Exactly! …where did the honey go?

Panel 5 Woman and bear sharing tea

Woman: At least if you maul me, pepper won’t say I made it up or I’m misinterpreting.

Bear: I hear you

      Yes. If you change all the terms of the thought experiment the outcome is different.

      What an unexpected result!

          Come back when you’re ready to talk in good faith.

          Right now you’re just being a troll. And not even a particularly clever one.

          (Hint: A reading in good faith involves reading ALL of the words of the thought experiment.)

      What if the store is in the bear so when you get eaten you find yourself stuck in Hot Topic?

      Ha! Didn’t think of that one, did you?

        Honestly, would still rather the hot topic infested bear I think… Might even be OK with a Spencer’s.

      If you said you would, I wouldn’t believe you.

      You dont live in an area with black bears. They’re not scary, having to chase them away from garbage or equipment isnt that uncommon.

        I’ve lived where there were polar bears.

        Those are scary.

        Still rather meet one of those alone in the wilds than a man I don’t know.

          That kinda seems like overcorrecting, at least half of men won’t eat you given the chance, most polar bears will.

            I addressed this elsewhere in the ensuing shitstorm. It’s a question of risk management.
