    Cry me a river. I’ve never heard a women say “don’t approach me”, but I’ve heard many say “don’t be a douche” and “stop thinking you’re a fucking victim”.

        Apparently you already forgot their reasoning behind it. A bear is a known quantity. Humans can lie to gain your trust, then turn on you. They weren’t saying all men are bad, they were saying that meeting a stand man alone in the woods - you have no idea how this person will act.

        IDK women are not scared of me. Maybe the problem is you? Maybe you’re not the victim you think you are and you’re just an ass?

                I thought about it and you’re right, you’re a victim. Women are bad, just don’t approach them and find other dudes likes you to hang out. Good luck.

                  I’ve been in a loving relationship with my partner for 8 years.

                  I am trying to help bring perspective to incels like you.

                  A more equal dating landscape means more equal relationships, and overall that’s a good thing in the long run.

                  Women are still learning that if they tell men to not approach them they need to start asking men out if they want relationships instead of whining on the internet.

                  No longer can women just sit around and wait for a relationship to fall in their lap, and no amount of rage baiting is going to change that. Grow a spine and ask someone out for a change, according to you it’s easy.

          women are not scared of me

          So you’re a pathetically tiny and weak man let, or you’re just unaware of the feelings of women?

          So many men can’t understand that there is a diffrence from asking a woman in a bar on a date and being willing to accept a no and doing the same thing and throwing a hissy fit when they are not given what they feel they “deserve”.

        The fact that yall are still this mad about this just proves that the entire point behind the thought experiment is right.

          The bear metaphor was obviously thinly veiled racism/xenophobia from the start. Lots of conservative/moderate women who are terrified of anyone who isn’t white or who is “illegal”

            That’s…just no. Wtf? No.

            Source: I’ve actually listened to women, in person, describe their reasoning, instead of making up my own justification for something like the incel community decided to do.

              The goal was to increase fear of the “other” - which is a classic right wing tactic.

              The bear meme was a conservative astroturfed campaign to push people right - which is why it appeared shortly before the 2024 US elections

                  No it isn’t, it’s literally what astroturfing is and how public relations campaigns are run. I know people who literally do shit like this for a living

                  Doesn’t mean the original meme was created by an agency necessarily, but it certainly was boosted and amplified by conservatives to spark anger against PoCs/immigrants, and to build intergender resentment amongst men. Which worked wonderfully for Trump, as is evidenced by his strong performance with Gen Z men
