Where are all these “women choosing bears” memes originating?
It’s rage bait, that’s why it’s spreading. Do your part, downvote and move on.
I think this may be the origin? https://www.tiktok.com/@screenshothq/video/7356208240008498465
Although this person claims to be the one who started it: https://www.tiktok.com/@callmebkbk/video/7363362723855371566
Not sure about the article or the tweets but I thought they came later than the tiktoks
A women wrote an article about how women are afraid of the possibility of male strangers attacking them, comparing it being stuck in the woods with the bear.
And, as is tradition, instead of actually reading the article a bunch people took it to mean that she would literally rather be attacked by a bear rather than a man.
I’ve seen bunch of women explaining how they’d feel less threatened with a bear. So I don’t think anyone read it, everyone just ran with the premise.
Someone went around asking women which they would pick to be stuck in the woods with. Almost all of them picked the bear. This resulted in a bunch of men harassing the woman who wrote it… Fully proving why people keep picking the bear.
The bear may maul you, but it won’t corner you and explain statistically why it’s the better choice.
