Bear or a Man?
Although everyone's input is welcome, this one is especially for the women in our forum. I came across this (apparently) popular thought experiment that I wanted to see what consensus there is (if any) amongst our female forum members on it.
If you are have to be stranded in the wilderness with either a (1) randomly selected adult male or (2) a randomly selected adult (male or female) bear, then which would you choose and why?
** PS: I originally put this in the lounge, but it doesn't seem to show up on the main page if I do that. So I changed it to 'general philosophy'.

I doubt that posting this tired hypothetical on the forum will net you any unique or original thoughts on the matter, but you have the right to post it.
I think a more entertaining question is: would a bear rather be stranded with Joe Rogan in full gear or batman with a stone knife and five minutes to prepare?
Seriously though, iirc most, or at least many, women responded in favor of bear when this hypothetical was making the rounds. Kind of obvious why.
I'm not saying that bear is the rational choice, but it is easy to see why a woman might choose bear.
Really? The bear might attack you?
I find myself considering that there is a chance that the man in the hypothetical might also be of a Barkonian persuasion and state the obvious so earnestly that one's head might explode. That needs to be accounted for, I think.
