Then why are you so upset about it?
About what??
The whole bear or man thing, it's obviously living rent free in your brain if you can't even think of asking women a question besides that one.
I think a lot of people are really bothered by it, but just don't understand why. They can sense the hate and bigotry layered into the scenario, but they can't really see past the the misandry in the responses to see just how truly awful the question is. And I think they cant just let it go without understanding it.
Yeah it’s been on multiple podcasts as a topic forever now. Even one as new as yesterday. I didn’t bring it up to argue or whatever you think the reasoning is. There’s plenty of women on both sides. More pick the man from what I’ve seen though. I find it interesting. I also understand why some opt for the bear initially.
Then why did you bring it up?
Why is anyone bringing anything up in this thread?
Mostly to ask questions they want to ask. You were complaining about a way women are expressing how they feel unsafe.
I think you have me confused with someone else.

You're not helping the argument that it lives rent free in your head by feeling the need to bring it up again days later.
You seem to love creating weird arguments out of thin air. That wasn’t an argument. It was a statement you made. I even stated that yeah it’s in my head as it’s been on 1000 podcasts and some as recent as the other day.
Why are you so obsessed with it?
Oh God, I just realized that's your own post, it's not living rent free in your head, you are paying it rent, it's you're landlord.
