AntiSocial - Dangers to women: man vs bear
Download Dangers to women: man vs bear
Women online are being asked: would you rather be stuck in a forest with a man or a bear?
Most are saying they’d choose the bear, saying that men are potentially more dangerous to them than the wild animal. Cue arguments on social media about just how dangerous to women men are. Where did the meme come from? What can crime stats tell us about gender and violence, including sexual violence? And how has the way our society views violence between men and women developed over time?
