I'm not angry, I am curious. This whole man or bear thing has been an absolute blast for me.

It's a shame you refuse to answer though. That makes me sad. Why are you uncomfortable with this question?

Bullshit, you're JAQ'ing off.

FWIW I disliked the answer too, it's feels pretty insulting, but then it struck me. I go camping deep in the back country. When I go, sometimes I carry a gun.

The gun isn't for bears or mountain lions, but for the off chance I'd run into a person with bad intentions 10 miles out on a remote trail, 30 miles from the nearest po-dunk town. They'd probably just be another hiker, but maybe not. The point is I'd rather run into a wild animal in the woods than a person I don't know with unknown intentions.

Idk about whatever arbitrary lines the other commenter has.

I was just relaying a way I thought about it that helped me try to relate and understand.

Asking questions is being angry now?

Man you guys really don't like having your opinions challenged lmao.

Dude made an absolute arbitrary selection between two groups of people about who's generic enough to not be angry at being targeted by stereotypes.

I'm just curious about where that arbitrary line sits.
