  1. Habe gestern ein Video von einem Typen gesehen, dem die Frage gestellt wird, ob er seine Tochter lieber alleine im Wald mit einem fremden Mann oder einem Bären lassen würde. Er windet sich, wägt Pro und Contra ab, denkt laut und leise nach. Es kommt die Zwischenfrage: "Und mit einer fremden Frau?" "Haha, fremde Frau, kein Problem!".
    Und es ist SO schön zu sehen, wie es hinter der Stirn anfängt zu rattern.

  2. My Viking-inspired WIP mentions a bear, so I had a little fun with it.

  3. ...This is how we come to accept the harsh fact of our violability. We bite our tongues, sometimes until they bleed.

    "...(B)ehind it all, we can't truly know which men are harmless. And the cost of being wrong is high. Everyone has her own reaction. But I am personally so fed up with this continued harassment that I can barely contain myself when it happens. And I shouldn't have to."

  4. “It is a cultural issue across our society that for whatever reason, the standards of behaviour are not being taught to young boys.”
    I think our cultural values are being passed on with great fidelity. It’s not a school culture problem, it’s a culture culture problem! #manvsbear #auspol

  5. The new "response" to "bear or man?" is so stupid, I can't even figure out what these guys are thinking, or what "point" they think they're making. (And why a tree?! 🤣)

    Like, are they really trying to equate sharing their feelings with getting mauled by a bear? Or with what women are justifiably afraid men might do to them in the woods?

    "Would you rather open up to a woman or a tree?" says way more about the men themselves than women, trees, or anything else. #ManVsBear #ManOrBear #BearOrMan

  6. I'm sure most of you have seen the #manvsbear thing by now. If you're in any way unclear on why women choose the bear, watch this; it's a literal voicemail message. #creepy

  7. "Last year, I spent over eight months on my bike. I pedaled down the Pacific Coast, across the Southwest, and up the length of the Great Divide. I cooked food on my tiny twig stove and camped each night under the stars. I don’t know if I’ve ever been so happy"

  8. CW: man bear discourse

    @vaurora

    Really thoughtful inspiring piece, really made me reflect.

    Some of us have grown up in safe places with people we trust, which helps us navigating the abuses #patriarchy and capitalism, but it is still exhausting, needing to repeatedly be on hyper alert to violence.

  9. Unsere Medienpräsentation #ManVsBear in der AGB.
    Der Popkultur-Account Screenshot HQ hat in einem Tiktok-Video acht Frauen gefragt, ob sie in einem Wald lieber alleine mit einem Mann oder einem Bären wären. Sieben der Frauen entschieden sich für den Bären.
    Kommentare mit dem Hashtag ManVsBear: „wenn mich ein Bär angreift glaubt man mir wenigstens“, “the bear doesn’t get enjoyment out of it”, „the worst thing the bear can do is kill me“.
    Eine erneute Debatte über Gewalt gegen Frauen entfachte.

  10. #ManVsBear Blokes, imagine you go into a large, *empty*, public toilet, with a row of 20 urinals. You position yourself towards the far end, and start pissing. A man enters, walks all the way along to you, and then lines up at the stall right next to you, elbows practically touching yours. (1/2)

  11. I've been giving the #ManvsBear thing some thought and for me, it's not about which is most likely to attack me or which i'm most likely to fend off. For me, it's about intent. A bear would kill me because it's a bear. A man would kill me to be intentionally cruel. So for me the question isn't 'which would I rather be alone in the woods with' but 'which would I rather be killed by' because they are both a risk but for different reasons.

  12. #manvsbear #lgbtq #gay This whole man vs bear thing has me baffled. I thought they were one and the same — except for otters. But I’m drawn to both.

  13. CW: Gratuitous Gilbert and Sullivan parody; man vs bear

    If you give me your attention, I will tell you what I am
    I'm the gentlest of gentlemen — all others are a sham.
    If you ever chanced to meet me in the forest in the night
    I would never try to harm you, and I would not cause you fright.
    This drama is unladylike, and hurts my tender soul
    Not all men are predators — how could you be so bold!
    I'm safer than an ursine, I proclaim it everywhere,
    Yet women always say that they would much prefer the bear!
    And I can't think why!

  14. In case you didn't realize it, the queer bear subculture is the solution to ALL the "would you ____ a bear or a man?" memes / conundrums. We're like a super specialized version of your gay best friend.
