Man, it's cool to see some empathy around. With the bear thing it's dried up quite a bit.

Maybe you should express empathy for the women saying they'd rather chill with a wild animal because of their traumatic experiences.

I do have empathy for victims of terrible human beings but I've got enough self-respect to take such a bad-faith argument at face value

[–] AltheaHunter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago

I have no interest in arguing in any faith, sorry.

My ex was physically abusive and a pedophile, but I'm not more afraid of half the human population than I am of a grizzly bear because that would be fucking insane.

Do you mean the activity about the question or the question itself?

I haven't engaged, so I don't know how mean people have really been getting, but that topic was more about, like, a verifiable sociological reality among women. I wouldn't take it personally.
