    This is my take.

    My boyfriend isn’t terminally online so I often tell him things like this, in an impartial way.

    “The internet is mad because some women have been saying they would rather be alone in a forest with a bear than with a strange man.”

    Him: “Why is this a question? People are always the objectively worse answer.”

    “Well… some people are pointing out that the type of bear is important-”

    Him: “I would rather risk being mauled by a bear than have to deal with a stranger. Why is this controversial? I thought people on the internet hated people?”
