The "man or bear in the woods" question is obvious ragebait. Thinking people don't entertain hyperbolic hypotheticals that are proposed to sow divisive rhetoric.

The gender war is a psy-op proxy for the class war.

::: To be clear, I'm a proponent of market-socialism economically who wants a functional federal republic like we're supposed to have on paper. I am not a "tankie", nor do I want anything to do with them.

When I say "class war", I say we fight it with the ballot, and a gun if it gets ugly to the point of no recourse (that is still far away, thankfully).

I mean, what the fuck are people gonna do against Predator drones with Hellfires? Be vaporized as cannon fodder? We'd be gullible rubes for the whims of the "enlightened LeAdErS of the People's Revolution", that's what. :::

If there isn't a movie yet where a woman meets a strange man in the middle of the woods and he starts acting creepy and she gets scared, then she sees a bear and decides to chance it with the bear... and then the bear runs past her and mauls the creepy guy-

Well there should be.

It's amazing how I've never ever seen a single thread on this metaphor and not seen at least two to three male users get furious and thus prove the metaphor 100% correct. Not once. Every single time. It's like catnip they can't resist it.

It's amazing how I've never seen a single thread negatively generalize half the population and not seen at least two or three people from that half of the population get indignant. It's almost like people don't like being stereotyped.

Goofball.

I think in this situation it is probably more important to look into why more than half the population chose Trump.

Or discourse like that could be why young men are choosing the right.
