The longer I think about it, the more I understand why most women would choose the bear. And it's not because they feel safer with the bear. It's because the bear is either going to kill you, or it won't. And it won't rob you of your peace of mind, your feeling of security, your humanity, or your will to live, before it does. Bears are driven purely by instinct. They don't feel entitled to attention, or an explanation as to why they aren't getting attention. And if you're reading this, and think to yourself, "But I'd never harm a woman." Try to remember 2 things: the only person that's obvious to, is 𝒚𝒐𝒖. And the second, is that mental harm, is still harm. If someone asks you to stop communicating with them, whether a reason is given or not. THEN STOP MESSAGING THEM. Is it fair? Not necessarily, but life isn't fair. You have an obligation as a grown human adult, to respect the wishes of another person. Especially if it's someone you claim to "love". Harassing someone to the point where they are creeped out, or outright frightened, isn't love. It's you trying to force your will and sense of entitlement on them. And if you read this, and think I'm way off base or "virtue signaling," then maybe you aren't quite the nice guy you think you are.
